Revealing ICE agents' identities could lead to prison under new bill
Story by Billal Rahman • 21h

People publicly identifying federal law enforcement officers could face up to five years in prison, under new legislation proposed by Senator Marsha Blackburn.

"Blue city mayors are doing everything they can to obstruct the Trump administration's efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens," the Republican from Tennessee said in a press release on Wednesday.
 
The Protecting Law Enforcement From Doxxing Act proposes punishments including fines and up to five years in prison for those who publicly identify an officer "with the intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or immigration enforcement operation."

Did she get approval from a federal judge before proposing the bill?

Yeah, sorry but the public has a right to know who public employees are.

Yeah, sorry but the public has a right to know who public employees are.

Names maybe, addresses, family members, and every other kind of personal information, no. FOIA request, but private parties just doxxing them? I don't think so.

[DefiantMassRINO]

They have a right to know their Job Title and Official Public Government contact information.

They have a right to know general compensation information for the positions/offices they hold.

Personal addresses and family information are only needed by terrorists to intimidate, harass, influence, and harm Goverment officials outside the prescribed public processes available to them.

Swatting should be a Federal Felony if interstate telecommunications were used.  Swatting puts officers and targets at risk of mortal harm.

Doxxing and swatting are tools of terrorists seeking mob rule.

Yeah, sorry but the public has a right to know who public employees are.

[Fishrrman]

Good intentions from Ms. Blackburn, but this will never get out of the Senate.
Unless, of course, the filibuster is nuked.

[MeganC]

Names maybe

The law makes it a crime to disseminate their names.

Which then makes it impossible to seek redress when they raid the wrong address, kill an innocent bystander, or etc.

In the end it literally makes ICE into a secret police agency.

OK then, let's just doxx them and put out all their personal and family information so that they can be firebombed and shot at for doing their jobs, because some marxists think we have to adhere to their jackboot ideology or get eradicated.

You've never been on the receiving end of a sociopath with a badge and a gun, have you? While I strongly support ICE I also don't want any precedents that end up protecting scumbag corrupt cops like 'sovereign immunity' did.

Well fine then, let's base Federal policy on the experience of one individual and watch agents and their families die as antifa terrorists hunt them down and butcher them.

We are supposed to base Federal policy on the principle of protecting individual rights. Or are you going Obama on us and saying that collective rights should be more important than individual rights?

So federal agents and their families have no rights not to be exterminated? F 'em because they're govt?

I have no idea how to approach this but making it a crime to know and share someone's name is nonsense.

This immediately means cops won't have to identify themselves when they stop you or invade your home. And then how do you sue them for redress when you can't identify the cop you need to sue?

You are inviting the establishment of literal secret police. Screw that.

Leftist X account that has been reporting on ICE agents' locations in L.A. whines that turnabout was fair play.

I recently discovered several posts containing my family’s name and home addresses. This is unacceptable and violates our privacy. Be warned: if anyone appears at my residence with harmful intentions, I am legally entitled to use deadly force in accordance with my state’s laws.

You mean someone shared your location and information, putting you in danger? Sort of what you've been doing to ICE agents and police officers?
Sucks, don't it?

ICE agents had their tires slashed after he doxxed them.
This is how the Rwandan genocide happened.  A Hutu radio station would broadcast the location of Tutsis hiding so gangs of Hutu thugs could go kill them.

I have received credible information that ICE has been forced out of the AC hotel in Pasadena by the management. The majority of their tires have been slashed as well.

Civil wars are never civil. The lefties who've been LARPing as 'freedom fighters' need to find out because they sure have been f'ng around.

He tried to be clever with his words, but basically he makes the argument for the Feds and ICE removing invaders from illegally being here on our soil and especially those acting with violent intentions.

I dare the Dems vote against it after the nation sees how these agents are treated by thugs.

It will die in committee. If it makes it to the floor then the Libertarian wing of the GOP will oppose it.

And rightly so. Too much antithetical crap has been passed into law due to emotional reactions to momentary problems.

The ill-named Patriot Act being #1. This law enabled a surveillance state that Hitler and Stalin would have envied.

And then there's civil asset forfeiture which has enabled literal highway robbery by legions of badge carriers who stop otherwise law abiding people just to steal their cash at gunpoint.

Let's not add yet another such law that will surely be used against the law abiding far more than it is used against the law breakers.

This is politics. I understand what you are saying, but this is using the Dems' own philosophy against them.

To vote no is to state unequivocally that one believes our law enforcement is not worth being protected.

Get a vote on it so citizens will understand who their representatives truly are.
