ICE List
Welcome to the ICE List. We document the actions of U.S. immigration enforcement agencies across all states and territories. Our mission is to build a transparent, verifiable, public record of agents, facilities, incidents, agreements, vehicles, and contractors connected to ICE and CBP.
The ICE List is an open journalistic project, created by Crust News, aimed at collecting and sharing information that can hold ICE members legally accountable.
