# ICE Deploys ZeroFox Doxing Software

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is implementing a Doxing Mitigation Initiative using ZeroFox technology under a reported **$15 million** Department of Homeland Security contract for software licenses supporting ICE operations and investigations. The software’s specific capabilities and safeguards are unclear, while officials and outside experts have raised concerns about privacy, potential misuse, and operational reliability. The report provides no evidence that ICE is using the technology to identify whistleblowers.

- The reported procurement is for software licenses tied to ICE operations and investigations; the source does not identify a contract number, award date, or detailed technical requirements.
- For procurement teams and contractors pursuing similar monitoring capabilities, the concerns raised make privacy protections, controls against misuse, and evidence of operational reliability relevant considerations in technical and risk materials.
- The initiative illustrates a federal use case for software intended to protect personnel from doxing, while leaving important capability and safeguard details unspecified.
