"A self-described hacktivist group called 'Department of Peace' claims it hacked Homeland Security systems and published internal contractor records tied to ICE. The records, hosted on the Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) website, identify thousands of companies connected to federal immigration enforcement contracts. Companies listed include technology firms Microsoft and Oracle. Others include data intelligence company Palantir and defense contractors Raytheon and Anduril."
"In a message accompanying the record release, the group cited what it described as unlawful ICE operations and said it aimed to expose companies supporting the agency. The message referenced the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, which sparked protests in Minneapolis, stating 'I'm releasing this because the DHS is killing us and people deserve to know which companies support them and what they're working on.'"

The exposed records identify thousands of companies with federal immigration enforcement contracts, including major firms such as Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Raytheon, and Anduril. The group stated its motivation was to expose companies supporting ICE and cited unlawful immigration operations. DHS has not publicly confirmed the intrusion. The leaked data originated from the DHS Office of Industry Partnership.
