Meta has suspended a large Facebook group accused of doxxing and targeting ICE agents after the Department of Justice intervened. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the removal followed outreach by the DOJ, calling out the online campaign as a “wave of violence” being orchestrated through social media to endanger federal officers.
Meta confirmed the move, citing violations of its “Coordinating Harm” policies, which ban content that reveals “the undercover status of law enforcement, military, or security personnel” and “if the content contains the agent’s name, their face or badge.”
The company specifies that exposing undercover status, agency affiliation, or operations is grounds for removal.
Bondi emphasized that tech platforms must not be allowed to serve as staging grounds for radicals bent on targeting law enforcement. She asserted, “The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.”
This action follows a broader crackdown: earlier this month, Apple removed apps from its App Store that tracked ICE agents’ locations, and Google reportedly followed suit.
