A group funded by the far-right Heritage Foundation think tank published a list of federal officials it referred to as “targets.” Targets for what? The site, titled “DHS Watchlist,” does not specify.
The site and the list featured on it are the handiwork of the American Accountability Foundation, which is “Funded by the Heritage Foundation Innovation Award,” according to the site. Mediaite is not linking to it.
Readers are told that the government officials named are “America’s Most Subversive Immigration Bureaucrats.”
Seven agencies are shown, on which users can click via a dropdown menu. They are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice Executive Office of Immigration Review, the Department of Justice Office of Immigration Litigation, Department of Justice immigration judges, Ombudsman Offices, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Each list features officials’ names, photographs, and titles. Users can click on each person to be taken to a biography that contains each official’s government salary, any political donations they have made, screenshots of their LinkedIn profile, and screenshots of any social media posts they may have made that the American Accountability Foundation finds objectionable.
The website also has a “Tipline” where people can submit the names of other bureaucrats.
