## Summary

A leak of DHS records has exposed information on about 41,000 employees, including staff in agencies such as ICE and Customs and Border Protection. The data could reveal how the department is organised and identify personnel linked to sensitive operations, at a time when DHS has sought to conceal employees’ identities and broadened its definition of doxing.

Distributed Denial of Secrets published the archive, called “Icepick”, saying it came from DHS’s Okta login system; Okta said it had no evidence its systems or data were compromised. The records, last updated on 19 August 2026, cover roughly a seventh of the department’s workforce: CBP accounts for more than half, ICE for about 10,000, and Citizenship and Immigration Services for 6,200. Among the entries are 39 HSI staff in groups referencing certified undercover operations, as well as permission groups linked to surveillance, phone interception and investigative tools.
