Trump administration tries to get leaked ICE personnel data taken down

The administration of US President Donald Trump is trying to have leaked data on personnel of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed from the internet. ICE is the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration law in the United States.
The publication of the leaked information has been defended by FlokiNET, an Icelandic web company. It argues that making the data public satisfies a "legitimate" public interest.
The dispute sets US authorities against a foreign web service provider over whether the ICE personnel data should remain publicly accessible. The source does not give further details on exactly what data has been published, how it leaked, or what steps the administration has taken to have it removed.
