US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Original Release Date: 1/25/2018
Summary
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unintentionally disclosed the private information of hundreds of people who called the agency’s Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office (VOICE) hotline – used to report potential crimes committed by an individual with a nexus to immigration. ICE posted call logs of the VOICE hotline to the agency’s website which included private caller information, such as name, address, and phone number. ICE has offered identity-theft monitoring service to those affected and temporarily removed the call logs from its FOIA library.
