On Wednesday, the LA Timesreportedthat 6,252 migrants who said they were escaping torture and persecution in their countries of origin had their personal information published by ICE on the agency's website.

The data was uploaded to a page on the ICE website where the agency normally posts information pertaining to detentions.
The human rights organization, Human Rights First, reached out to ICE as soon as they noticed the data being posted on its website, and the agency worked to delete it shortly after. However, the data was available for approximately five hours.
ICE provided the LA Timeswith an official statement.

According to an official from the Department of Homeland Security who spoke with the LA Times, the incident was "embarrassing" and for those affected, possibly even dangerous.
