ICE List Wiki:Donate

Why Your Support Matters

ICE List exists because people deserve to know who is doing the raids in their communities, who is detaining people, who is running the field offices, who is profiting off the detention system, and which counties quietly sign 287(g) deals behind closed doors. None of this work is funded by ads, sponsors, or outside influence. It survives because people want this information to exist.

Where Donations Go

A large part of the work involves digging into FOIA disclosures, filing new FOIA requests, paying for searches, redactions, duplication fees, and the constant back-and-forth with agencies who deliberately slow things down. FOIA isn’t free in the United States, especially when dealing with DHS or ICE. Some requests cost tens or hundreds of dollars just to get started, and complex releases can run into the thousands.

Your support keeps the project independent. It pays for hosting, security, advanced research tools, FOIA fees, and the infrastructure needed to document every agent, every contract, every facility, and every incident across all 50 states, D.C., and the U.S. territories.

Independence

No corporate funding, no political sponsors, no advertisers. Just the work, the evidence, the documentation, and the public record. Donations let ICE List remain exactly what it needs to be — completely unaligned with anyone except the truth.
