Gregory John Curcio leaked Immigration employee data

A man in California was accused of disclosing confidential information through social media about a lawyer representing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and urging her to attack his home.

The event comes amid reports by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of attacks against ICE agents and offices in various parts of the country, in a context marked by the heavy-handed policy against irregular immigration promoted by the Donald Trump administration.

Gregory John Curcio, 68, was arrested on September 22 by federal authorities after posting the lawyer’s identity on Facebook and claiming she was an “ICE agent,” the U.S . Department of Justice said in a statement.

The defendant, a resident of Santa Monica, a city in Los Angeles County, included the attorney’s home address and personal information in the message, along with a call to the public to attack the attorney’s home.

Gregory John Curcio, who posted the message on at least two accounts controlled by him, was formally charged the day before with violating a federal law designed for the protection of persons performing certain official duties.

Federal law prohibits making public certain federal employee information, such as Social Security number, home address, landline and cell phone number, and personal e-mail address.

The attorney stated to authorities that Gregory John Curcio previously resided in his mother’s apartment building in Santa Monica.

The woman claimed that she never met the suspect, but that he had harassed and threatened her mother for years.

A federal judge ordered the defendant’s incarceration without bail and scheduled his arraignment for October 14.

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stressed in a statement that disclosing confidential information of federal agents and employees is a serious crime, which jeopardizes the personal safety of the agent and his or her family.

If found guilty, Gregory John Curcio could face up to five years in federal prison.
