The leak includes records on over 41,000 Homeland Security personnel in various agencies, including undercover ICE officers, along with details of internal operations

Personal and operational details of more than 41,000 US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees and contractors, including undercover immigration agents, have been leaked online, reportedly exposing the department’s internal structure and surveillance operations.

The disclosure comes amid growing public anger over President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign, with the department’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facing growing criticism over aggressive raids, detention conditions, and the use of force against migrants and protesters.

Released on Wednesday by transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), the files contain names, contact details, job titles, and internal system access groups across ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and other DHS agencies.

DHS confirmed to the media that it is “aware of a potential breach” and is working to address it, adding that it will protect employees and update the public “when more information is available.”
