BLACK MAGA Group swaps ICE Agent home addresses with the home addresses of rogue judges in 'Bounty' Social Media Posts

Hackers turn the tables on 'bounty' gigs targeting ICE Agents - Doxxed Addresses "Swapped" with home addresses of rogue judges

October 21, 2025 – Washington, D.C.  In a brazen cyber operation that has ignited fears of targeted violence against federal law enforcement, a rogue hacking collective has unleashed a torrent of personal data framing the leak as a twisted "bounty" hunt. The hackers didn't just expose home addresses—they appear to have laced the data dump with a provocative twist: allegedly swapping or cross-referencing ICE agents' private residences with those of controversial "rogue" judges accused of lenient rulings in immigration cases. The move, detailed in social media posts and encrypted channels, has been decried as a deliberate escalation in the ongoing war of digital vigilantism.

Spreadsheets brimming with full names, phone numbers, office locations, and—most alarmingly—home addresses were plastered across Telegram channels frequented by the hackers. But the real shock came in the accompanying "bounty" posts: cryptic messages taunting federal authorities with cartel-style rewards for "hits" on the doxxed individuals, while linking their addresses to those of federal judges lambasted online as "rogue" for blocking deportations or issuing stays on enforcement actions.

The reference to "swapping" suggests a calculated disinformation tactic, where hackers either fabricated cross-matches or pulled public records of judges' homes (often gleaned from court filings or property databases) to create a false narrative of interchangeable targets. Experts speculate this could sow chaos, directing potential threats toward innocent judicial figures while amplifying harassment against ICE families already on edge amid heightened border tensions.

The timing couldn't be more volatile. Just days prior, on October 15, the DHS issued a stark warning about Mexican drug cartels allegedly placing bounties—up to $1 million—on ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents operating in cartel hotspots like Chicago. "These criminals are turning our streets into hunting grounds," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem echoed in a press briefing, vowing swift retaliation against doxxers. Yet the hackers' posts mock these claims, with one quipping, "I want my MONEY MEXICO," a jab at unsubstantiated cartel ties. Whether the group is truly collaborating with transnational crime syndicates or simply exploiting the rumor mill remains unclear, but the effect is the same: a chilling cocktail of real leaks and fabricated bounties that has agents bolting doors and scanning shadows.

This isn't the hackers' first rodeo. Cybersecurity researcher Marc-André Argentino, who tracks the group's Telegram antics, describes them as "English-speaking chaos agents, blending meme culture with malice." Their latest haul reportedly stems from a phishing scam or insider breach at DOJ and Bureau of Prisons (BOP) systems, though federal investigators have yet to confirm the vector. In a Wired interview, Argentino noted the posts' fixation on "rogue judges," tying into far-right online rants against jurists like those in the Ninth Circuit, accused of "coddling criminals" in immigration dockets.

The fallout has rippled far beyond the digital realm. ICE unions report a spike in relocation requests, with agents citing "credible threats" tied to the leaks. In Portland, where Antifa-linked doxxing of masked ICE raiders has simmered since 2018, local activists distanced themselves, calling the hack "reckless escalation" that endangers everyone. Meanwhile, the DOJ announced indictments against three California women last month for a lower-stakes doxxing incident—tracking an ICE agent home and posting his address on Instagram—underscoring the feds' zero-tolerance stance. "Doxing isn't activism; it's a loaded gun handed to the worst actors," said U.S. Attorney Maria Gonzalez in a statement.

Critics, however, point to irony in the government's own playbook. The Trump-era push for masked ICE operations, meant to shield agents from retaliation, has fueled apps like "Eyes Up"—banned by Apple under DOJ pressure for logging raid footage. "When you hide in shadows, you invite the light to find you," tweeted activist @GeauxGabrielle, whose viral post on the hack garnered over 9,500 likes. On X (formerly Twitter), the story exploded, with users from #AbolishICE to #BackTheBlue trading barbs over accountability versus anarchy.

As the FBI's cyber division scrambles to scrub the data from dark web bazaars, questions linger: Is this a lone-wolf hack or a symptom of deeper fractures in America's immigration enforcement? With midterms looming and border rhetoric at fever pitch, the "bounty" posts serve as a grim reminder that in the age of leaks, no address is truly private—and no side is playing clean. Federal officials urge affected personnel to contact local threats task forces, while hackers tease more drops. For now, the swap game continues, blurring lines between predator and prey in a nation on edge.
