ICEPI.CX is a web interface for the Department of Peace’s icepick command-line tool, presenting an expanded version of the DOP2 dataset about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It lets users search records by people, groups, offices, and locations, with searches intended to reveal organizational connections and work functions. The site highlights searches for operation names, undercover-related groups, staff in particular cities, access to tools such as Cellebrite, and employees identified as use-of-force instructors. It says the dataset combines automated and manual research with the original records, which are available through DDoSecrets.

The site emphasizes that its records are incomplete and provided as-is: errors in the underlying data may carry over, and location and office counts can change as records are cleaned and merged. Searches exclude CISA by default to focus on DHS law-enforcement and intelligence components, although CISA figures appear in the overall inventory. The listed dataset totals 41,191 people, 55,603 groups, 6,958 offices, and 2,278 locations across nine agencies. CBP has the most listed people at 21,329, while USCIS has the most groups at 23,063. The figures indicate a large searchable compilation rather than a definitive roster of DHS personnel, and the site explicitly warns that it does not cover every employee.
