The viral clip circulating from The Rubin Report shows Fox’s Laura Ingraham pressing Tom Homan about a new “master ICE tracker,” and the exchange is as revealing as it is chilling. Dave Rubin shared the private message clip after Homan warned that putting ICE enforcement activity into a public, centralized database could put agents directly in the crosshairs of violent radicals and hostile activists.
According to reports, Rep. Robert Garcia and other House Democrats have touted plans for an Oversight Committee “master tracker” that would collect community-submitted reports of ICE activity and make them searchable in one place. That kind of centralized, government-linked compilation of enforcement actions is not a benign transparency tool — it’s a blueprint for coordinated harassment, interference, and, worse, targeted attacks on federal officers.
Tom Homan’s point is straightforward and alarming: when political actors normalize publishing where law enforcement will be operating, they remove the element of surprise and put men and women who enforce the law at catastrophic risk. We’ve already seen ambushes, attempts to ram federal vehicles, and shots fired at enforcement facilities; turning enforcement logs into a public map is reckless and could literally cost lives.
This isn’t theoretical. The Department of Justice has previously pressured platforms to take down apps and pages that doxxed ICE employees because those tools were being used to mobilize protesters and obstruct operations. Democrats who cheer on or build a “master tracker” are either naive about the consequences or deliberately indifferent to the violent fringe they embolden. Either way, it’s an unforgivable betrayal of public safety.
If the Biden administration — or any administration that values the rule of law — means what it says about protecting federal officers, it should move swiftly to quash any initiative that facilitates doxxing or exposes agents to harm. Congressional Republicans and state leaders must demand full transparency about who is funding and building these trackers, and the Justice Department should evaluate whether such tools violate statutes designed to protect law enforcement from intimidation.
Patriots who care about safety and order should be loud and unambiguous: we will not tolerate elected officials who put federal officers on the chopping block for political theater. Protecting the men and women who enforce our laws is not a partisan ask — it is the foundation of a civil society — and conservatives must press this case relentlessly until those who enabled such foolishness are held accountable.
