Keep the record public.

ICE List documents who runs raids, who signs 287(g) agreements, who profits from detention — funded by readers, not advertisers, sponsors, or any agency. Payment processors have cut us off before. The steadiest way to protect this work is a recurring subscription that can't be throttled or deplatformed.

Keeping this record online runs over $2,000 a month — our security team, hosting, storage, tooling, and the occasional FOIA request, rising with traffic. No ads, no sponsors: readers keep us online.

The ICE List is built by the team at Crust News, an independent outlet covering immigration enforcement and the stories Western media won't tell straight. A subscription sustains the reporting month to month.
