Volunteer Roles

Contents

This project is driven by volunteers who believe in documenting abuse, exposing power, and pushing back against silence. You don’t need credentials. You need commitment. If you’ve got time and skills, we’ve got a job for you.

OSINT Researchers

Open-source investigators help build the backbone of the ICE List.

  • Identify agents through public records, LinkedIn, facial recognition, court filings
  • Cross-reference names with facility rosters, news coverage, and government databases
  • Document timelines of involvement, transfers, and promotions

Document Wranglers

We receive FOIAs, court documents, internal memos, contracts, and more. These need to be sorted, summarized, and uploaded.

  • Extract key names, dates, locations
  • Tag relevant crimes, agents, and programs
  • Create source pages with links and embedded evidence

Translators

We need everything translated — profiles, reports, disclaimers, and key cases.

  • Spanish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, and others are especially needed
  • Legal and technical familiarity is helpful but not required

Writers & Editors

Help write and refine case summaries, facility profiles, and crime breakdowns.

  • Reframe bureaucratic documents into public warnings
  • Clean up crowdsourced entries
  • Keep the tone sharp and accurate

Technical Volunteers

Help improve the site’s infrastructure and tools.

  • Wiki formatting and category setup
  • WordPress management and plugin support
  • Data visualization, search filters, secure submission forms

Outreach & Mobilization

Get the ICE List into the hands of those who need it.

  • Create flyers, shareable graphics, toolkits
  • Coordinate with legal groups, advocacy orgs, and immigrant networks
  • Monitor local raids and help direct traffic to relevant pages

Moderation & Review

Maintain the integrity of the list.

  • Vet submissions
  • Flag bad actors
  • Resolve page disputes and coordinate takedown requests

If you’re unsure where you fit, that’s fine. Tell us what you can do, and we’ll plug you in.
