ICE officers on dating apps should be wary of tradwives, an FBI memo suggested, as well as any woman whose profile would "appeal" to them.

    Anyone wanting to date an ICEhole is a piece of shit, fucked in the head, or someone who wants to compromise them. And I’m happy that’s their only choice, because it’s the least they deserve.

      There has been a ton of stories lately of women targeting ICE agents and getting valuable intel on their operations which they pass along to anti-ice organizations, or working to out them to the public and reveal their identity.

    Wow my last post is a lot more fucked up than it was funny and actually has me wondering : What if they started doing forced conscription for the “for-life,” prisoners or prisoners on death row to be ICE Agents?

          not all of it cause there’s a lot but wow.

          Googled him again just now and read more into him. That was truly a monster of a I can’t even say human.

          But after looking into how it went before which I never knew even happened before at a point in time but go fuckin’ figure it’s happened before🤦🏻‍♂️ I suppose it answers my question of how would it go forcing conscription upon prisoners serving life sentences or are on death row to be ICE Agents. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It wouldn’t go well at all.

    Ah yes, I remember how there were women who lured SS officers to their death this way during the second world war.

    Nice to see this technique has not been forgotten.

    This is the same FBI that is now overlooking incidents of bestiality in applicants, as of this week.

    “I’m trying to understand why you did this,” [Republican Senator John] Kennedy told Patel. “We’re having a tough time attracting agents, good quality agents we all can trust … Why would you even get into bestiality?”

    Patel said the change was recommended to him after he saw various “cases” in which qualified FBI applicants were denied consideration because they had been forced into bestiality as a result of human trafficking.

    Ngl, I had a very confused hold the fuck up, what the hell are you even saying second there. Apparently I am not alone:

    “I say this with respect to the person who recommended it, why didn’t you just say: ‘What planet did you parachute in from?’” Kennedy replied.

    And all this in the same week. Coincidence? 🤔

    I mean, unless ICE agents are active war thunder players, women are the biggest threat when it comes to leaked intel

    I love the article’s description of trad wives:

    “…conservative women who dress like the women in The Sound of Music, but without the opposition to the Anschluss.”

    “The tactic is intended to generate public embarrassment and deter immigration enforcement activity,” the FBI added. It did not provide any specifics on where or when it observed the supposed doxxing operation, and conceded all information in the memo was “not finally evaluated intelligence.”

    The origin of the warning may well be a thinly sourced January 2026 post by the New York Post, which cited two TikTok posts from women stating they were using dating apps to identify ICE agents, as well as a single post by another female user urging gay men on Grindr to do the same. That post itself was inspired by another post from LibsOfTikTok, a homophobic and racist account that is ultra-popular with conservatives. The FBI wrote in the memo its information came from a “collaborative source.”

    So a couple of people on the Internet joked about this and the FBI took it seriously.

      I’m betting the missing piece of the puzzle is just men and women going on dates, and at some point the guy admits to being in ICE, and the woman leaves and posts about it on social media, as you do after a bad date.

        True for fascists in general.

        …also social media, come to think of it. That’s not a worrying connection at all.

      Incels believe that they deserve women, so they can be easily tricked by any woman who is willing to play along.

      And of course, when they are inevitably tricked, that just reinforces their beliefs. They are unable to realize that the root cause is their own beliefs and behavior. If they were able to think rationally, they wouldn’t identify as an incel in the first place.

    While this is pretty funny, there’s also this horrifying detail at the end of the article:

    What’s likely more of a risk for undocumented individuals is face recognition and commercial ad data. ICE officers can feed a photo of anyone into a facial recognition app called “Mobile Fortify,” monitor social media with apps like SocialNet, and look at vast troves of commercially available location data without a warrant. One surveillance app that includes ICE on its client list is Penlink’s Webloc, a tool which can pull advertising geolocation data for entire neighborhoods and search through photos to locate individuals with face recognition. Penlink explicitly advertises one of its data sources as Tinder. In May, Politico reported that ICE published a request for information (indicating interest in a vendor) to expand use of “commercial Big Data and Ad Tech providers” in investigations.
