Overview

  • Social media posts circulated images alleging the Proud Boys founder appeared on a leaked roster of ICE personnel after a recent breach.
  • Enrique Tarrio first reacted with a sarcastic post on X, then said his comment was satire and stated he does not work for the agency.
  • Tarrio told Newsweek he is considering legal action against outlets that published the claim and said he has received death threats as it spread.
  • An archived ICE List page includes an entry for “Enrique Tarrio” labeling him a propagandist and agitator, while reviewers flagged errors such as his name appearing out of alphabetical order.
  • ICE has not confirmed any employment connection, and the underlying breach reportedly exposed about 4,500 DHS, ICE and Border Patrol records that ICE List recirculates following the Renee Nicole Good shooting.
