This comes after an anonymous whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allegedly leaked the personal information of 4,500 ICE and border patrol agents after the cold-blooded murder of Renee Nicole Good.

Of course Proud Boys have links to ICE

The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist militant organisation, which promotes and engages in political violence. It was formed in 2016 during the presidential election. The organisation claims not to be racist; however, it is deeply rooted in white nationalism and misogyny.

They believe white men should be in power, and “multiculturalism” is “erasing” them.

However, leaked documents now list Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the group, as an ICE agent.

Enrique Tarrio coordinated with the Proud Boys to occupy the capitol and overturn the 2020 election. He was tried and convicted but pardoned by Trump. He is now part of ICE

He has denied this on X.

I have a confession to make…

Before this goes more public than it already has.

I’m sorry I’ve had to keep this from you guys. My story is long winded so I’ll throw it in the comments. pic.twitter.com/VjgbgDVpfY

However, he states that it cannot be him because the documents lists the names with surnames first.

They didn’t even bother to look at the names listed. If they did they’d see it’s in order by last names and mine isn’t. You can’t hate these people enough. They belong in prison!

However, not all of the names are in that format.

Some other examples include:

The list is clear: those listed by surname first have a comma between the two names, while the rest do not.

One X user previously photographed Tarrio outside an ICE facility in Portland.

A shady past

In 2023, prosecutors jailed Enrique Tarrio for 23 years for seditious conspiracy – for orchestrating the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. He was not in Washington during the riot; however, he helped to organise the Proud Boys’ involvement.

Previously, prosecutors had banned Tarrio from the city in 2020 for burning a stolen banner from a historic Black church. Of course, Donald Trump then pardoned Tarrio in January 2025. He also pardoned 1,500 others who were responsible for the violence. Since then, Tarrio and four other members convicted of similar offences attempted to sue the federal government for allegedly “violating their rights”.

ICE and the far-right are one and the same – racist lunatics with no regard for the law or human life. And as long as a racist pumpkin with a history of raping women is president of the US, there will be nothing stopping ICE from continuing on its war path.
