These Patches Are Clues to Identifying #ImmigrationAgents

We built a guide to patches worn by #ICE and #CBP to help the public determine which federal agents are in their communities.

Excerpt: "Emily Covington, until recently an assistant director in ICE’s Office of Public Affairs, sent The Intercept images of 21 patches. 'I gave you all the patches,' she said.

"This wasn’t true, as a nameless ICE official later acknowledged. '[W]e are not going to spend time providing you with each and every patch,' he emailed from an official 'ICE media' account. Covington said that ICE officials feared that The Intercept would use the patches to 'dox people,' though she also dared The Intercept to pursue the story. 'We hope that you go ahead and report,' she said. 'Go for it.'

"The Intercept compiled this set of images released by the Department of Homeland Security and open-source photographs.

"ICE and DHS failed to respond to numerous follow-up questions dealing with insignia and patches submitted scores of times over a period of months as well as a request to speak with an expert on ICE uniforms and adornments. CBP acknowledged receipt of The Intercept’s questions but did not respond to them prior to publication."
