All we know is that they're using admittedly faulty AI tools to "unmask" ICE agents, and that they have not one but TWO convenient donation buttons on their homepage.

A screenshot of the ICE List homepage. There is a donation button in the top right corner and a popup asking for money in the bottom right corner.

ICE doesn't deserve privacy, and the ICE List is a good goal in theory. But their caginess about their methods, their dramatic and grandiose tone, and their up-front requests for money make me skeptical. Please think twice before donating to this organization.

Thanks for this. Anyone who's done real research knows the best leads usually come from locals/people closest to targets. These lofty national projects raise big alarm bells and people need to be especially careful about IDing feds (as journalists, we have a *smidge* more legal protection there)

Thanks for reading! Honestly, the claims of using genAI to generate the supposed faces of ICE agents was the main red flag for me. The LLM isn't showing you that ICE agent's face. It's *guessing,* and acting like AI can truly "unmask" someone is genuine misinformation. Just wanted to flag it!

It's this, but worse. You can't make something from nothing.

Remember when Reddit thought it had found the Boston Marathon bomber?
