Facebook takes down page targeting ICE agents
“The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs,” Bondi wrote in a post on X.
“The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement,” she added.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said in a statement that the group was removed for “violating our policies against coordinated harm.”
Chicago is the latest U.S. city to see an influx of ICE agents, as President Trump ramps up immigration enforcement across the country.
He took aim at the Windy City in early September and has since sought to send in members of the Illinois and Texas National Guards. These efforts have encountered legal hurdles.
Earlier this month, Apple removed ICEBlock, an app that allows users to track and report the location of ICE officers, from its app store citing safety risks.
Bondi said the DOJ reached out to Apple to seek the app’s removal.
“ICEBlock is designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs, and violence against law enforcement is an intolerable red line that cannot be crossed,” she said at the time.
“This Department of Justice will continue making every effort to protect our brave federal law enforcement officers, who risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe.”

The Justice Department said Tuesday that it has indicted the alleged orchestrator of a Cambodia-based crypto fraud scheme, seizing $15 billion in Bitcoin.
The indictment alleges that Chen Zhi, who also goes by Vincent, operated forced-labor compounds in Cambodia that conducted crypto investment fraud schemes — which resulted in billions in losses for victims in the U.S. and around the world — via his company, Prince Holding Group.
The DOJ filed a civil forfeiture complaint to seize 127,271 Bitcoin — worth roughly $15 billion. In a release, the DOJ called the filing the largest forfeiture action in the department’s history.
Zhi, whose whereabouts are unknown, is charged with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. The DOJ release noted that if convicted, he faces up to 40 years in prison.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, along with the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, separately announced sanctions Tuesday on 146 targets within Prince Holding Group.
