The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday that Meta has complied with its request to remove a Facebook page allegedly used to “dox and target” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago.
The page reportedly published personal details and tracked the movements of about 200 federal officers assigned to the city as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement campaign.
AG Bondi Protecting ICE
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement posted to X that “following outreach from the DOJ, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to target ICE officials.”
Meta later confirmed the takedown, stating that “this group was removed for violating our policies against coordinated harm,” though the company did not specify the name of the group or whether the DOJ had been directly involved in the decision.
“Doxxing is the sharing of personal information about people online,” Bondi wrote. “And this particular page crossed the line into targeting law enforcement officials.”
Meta Under Pressure Amid Immigration Crackdown
According to a Reuters report, the group had been used by some Chicago residents to monitor ICE activity and warn communities of nearby enforcement operations. However, federal officials argued the page endangered agents’ safety and violated federal laws against harassment and intimidation of law enforcement officers.
