Overview

  • Rep. Corey P. Paris told constituents ICE was active in his district and says he never shared agents’ exact locations.
  • Libs of TikTok accused Paris of “doxxing ICE’s live location,” urged ICE to “charge him,” and ICE’s official account reposted the claim while tagging the DOJ.
  • Paris reports a torrent of racist and homophobic abuse, including a recorded death threat referencing right-wing networks and calling for his arrest.
  • The FBI, U.S. Capitol Police, Stamford Police, and Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crimes are investigating the threats.
  • A DHS spokesman condemned threats yet warned public notices of ICE operations endanger officers and cited a 1,000% rise in assaults, as elected officials criticized ICE’s post as intimidation.
