Overview

• The Justice Department said Meta removed the page after officials flagged it as being used to dox and target roughly 200 ICE agents deployed to Chicago.
• A Meta spokesperson said the group violated policies against coordinated harm, while neither Meta nor DOJ released further details and reporters could not review the page.
• The Chicago Sun-Times identified the group as “ICE Sighting — Chicagoland,” reporting about 76,000 members who shared locations of immigration agents during recent enforcement operations.
• The move extends a wider push on tech platforms after Apple and Google made ICE‑tracking apps unavailable earlier this month following administration pressure and threats to prosecute app developers.
• Organizers and commentators reported rapid re-creation of similar groups after suspensions, fueling questions about the durability of takedowns and transparency around government-influenced moderation.
