About the ICE List

The ICE List Wiki is a public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in the United States. It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general public.

This project was created by Crust News.

Project status: This wiki is in active development. Structure, navigation, and data standards are being finalised. Older pages may be reformatted as standards are applied consistently.
