Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is under fire after publicly announcing plans to launch an “ICE Accountability Project,” a program she says will compile personal data on federal immigration enforcement officers, including their height, weight, hair color, tattoos, shoes, and vehicles.
While she insists her “accountability project” is about transparency, critics argue it’s nothing short of a public hit list.
During an interview on WTTW’s Chicago Tonight with host Paris Schutz, Lightfoot openly justified the creation of a centralized public database identifying individual ICE and CBP agents, arguing that the public “has a right” to gather and publish the physical details of officers who are “committing crimes” against residents.
Lori Lightfoot:
“We want to create a centralized archive of all the purported evidence of criminal actions on the part of ICE and CBP agents across the region. It’s out there, but it’s in different places, and that makes it difficult to aggregate the information.We want to create a portal where what’s happening in real time can be centralized and then put out for the public to view.
Number two, we certainly want to unmask the ICE agents and CBP agents who are committing crimes in our city. Not normal immigration activity—but when we see homicide, attempted homicide, or excessive force being routinely used.
[…]
It’s not for us to make a determination as to whether a crime has, in fact, been committed, but we want to gather the evidence so that, frankly, local law enforcement—like Franklin Park, which is small and has a very small police force—can depend upon the county and the state to help support them in these serious allegations of crime.
Everything will be together in one repository. And we start the process of unmasking the agents. Even though they’re wearing masks, every single one of them has a tell.”
Despite insisting that the project is not about “doxxing,” Lightfoot admitted that her goal is to “unmask” agents and pressure local prosecutors to file charges against them.
Paris Schutz:
You say “unmasking.” They’re going to say you’re going to dox them—and that’s why threats against them are up.Lori Lightfoot:
No. They are on public property, out in the open. We have an absolute right under our Constitution to document what’s happening. Every single one of those agents—their height, weight, hair color, the way they wear their vests, their insignias, even the masks, the shoes they wear, the cars they’re driving—we have a right to compile that information and put together a profile of each of these agents alleged to have committed crimes.This is not about doxing them. This is not about putting them in danger, though I’m sure we’ll hear that. But as residents of this city and the metropolitan area, we have a right to know who’s doing what—supposedly in our name.
If we believe they are committing crimes, it needs to be investigated. Then let a grand jury or a prosecutor make a determination.
Paris Schutz:
Are you saying you’re going to compile this information and then take legal action or civil action?Lori Lightfoot:
What we’re going to do is compile the information, and hopefully it will compel local law enforcement, the state’s attorney, and others to do their jobs and investigate allegations of serious crimes being committed.

“Height, weight, hair color…shoes, the car that they’re driving—we have a right to compile that information and put together a profile of each of these agents.”
