A hacker group known as the "puppygirl polycule" has claimed responsibility for leaking over 8,500 files from Lexipol LLC, a Texas-based company that develops policy manuals for law enforcement agencies. Founded by former police officers, Lexipol has faced legal challenges, including accusations of racial profiling and anti-immigrant rhetoric. The hackers criticized the opacity of Lexipol's policy-making processes and expressed a desire for more acts against police practices, referencing criticism from the ACLU regarding the public safety implications of their guidelines.
The hackers stated, "There is little transparency on how decisions are made to draft their policies, which have an oversized influence on policing in the United States."
Lexipol has been criticized by the ACLU, which emphasized that when local police engage in immigration enforcement, it compromises public safety and trust.
