We need to publish home addresses, make them scared.
So there actually is a federal (felony) law against that, but not against sharing their names: 18 U.S. Code § 119. This is the most a website could legally get away with, at least for US Citizens. It may not apply to Ice List's designer (Edit: Who is Irish and living in the Netherlands, which I believe is part of 14 Eyes), but I am not a lawyer.

Another amendment to make when we're in power
We, the proletariat, will probably never be in power in the US
And you foresee absolutely nothing bad happening if all the public officers' addresses were made public?
if they don't want to receive what's coming to them, they can always quit
Are you, like, ten years old?
Imagine it's 2021, Trump is president. All federal employees addresses become public. Trump does his "we'll retake democracy" stunt and people storm the Capitol.
What do you think happens in all the cities where armed MAGA now have access to Democrat politician's and federal workers home addresses?
~~Crazy people could start killing legislators like last month~~
Edit: What I mean is: Crazy people might start killing legislators, like it has already happened months ago.
Yeah, which sounds great, right?
Unless you're not on the receiving end.
You had fun on January 6? Now imagine that, but with armed militias hunting and killing center- and left-wing judges, congressmen, senators, etc., etc.
I just reread my comment, I think I wrote in a way that could be misunderstood and I was unclear. I wanted to say, the thing that is already happening might happen more, not "please kill politicians".
I was just saying that crazy people already started killing left-wing legislators. I don't think Trump getting shot would be good for the US or the world either.
I'm against releasing addresses, I'm just mentioning that that kind of political violence is not a hypothetical, it's already happening..
