While there's more than enough room to criticize both agencies these days, and if I did work for one of them I'd be retaining personal legal representation, doxxing people is not the answer. Sure, if some bad actors can be sued/prosecuted, that's not a bad thing per se.
But we're already living in a world where US Senators and Supreme Court Justices have had to have security provided because of death threats from both sides of the aisle. We don't need to be encouraging vigilantes. No side is so noble that people can't do evil in its name.
I read that during the irish occupation, irish policemen (so, working for the british governement) were rejected and isolated socially, treated as traitors to their people.
Which led them to eventually refuse to continue oppressing their people for money, the revolution, independance, all that.

But let’s be clear, it’s not a few bad apples. ICE by design is operating outside the law.
The videos are endless, people outside their homes on a walk questioned and threatened with arrest if they do not produce ID, face scanned and so on:

They’ve blocked off whole neighborhoods going door to door questioning people.
Let alone the videos of drive by pepper spray, drawing their weapons on people, shoving people to the ground…
These aren’t one off events. This is everyday in Minneapolis.
When the policing and justice system fails the people, mob rule is (sadly, imperfectly, but obviously) the only means of redress.
Successful, prolonged mob rule is called "revolution", and considered completely legitimate, ironically.

I kinda see connections, don't you ?

You cannot give anything to fascists, we know what they do, history is there, they didn't change, they're doing exactly the same thing.
