Washington: Wikileaks has published professional information and LinkedIn profiles of thousands of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees in a searchable online database, as the fallout from the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy continues.
The website fashioned as “ICEPatrol” appeareds to provide professional and personal information from the social networking profiles of US government employees.

Information such as photographs, job titles, work history, education and city of employment appeared on many of the profiles. It was not immediately clear how many employees were targeted, but the site listed 9243 profiles at one point.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The site was later taken offline.
“ICEPatrol is an important public resource for understanding ICE programs and increasing accountability, especially in light of the actions taken by ICE lately, such as the separation of children and parents at the US border,” the agency said in a tweet.
