Trump admin pressured Facebook into removing ICE-tracking group

The Trump administration reportedly pressured Facebook to remove a group that was tracking and sharing information about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Pam Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General and current White House adviser, claimed that the group was being used to "dox and target" ICE agents. The group, which had over 3,000 members, was created to monitor and document the activities of ICE agents in the field. Facebook removed the group, citing its policies against the sharing of personal information. The move has sparked concerns about the government's influence over social media platforms and the potential implications for free speech and transparency. Critics argue that the removal of the group could hinder the public's ability to hold government agencies accountable. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration's immigration policies and the efforts of activists and advocacy groups to challenge those policies through digital platforms.
