Celeste started People over Papers in January, after connecting with other TikTok creators who were also sharing information about ICE raids in their communities. In the ten months since, it has received over 19 million unique visitors, and has been averaging between 200,000-300,000 users per day. Pressuring technology platforms to remove the maps is just one part of the administration’s strategy to stop efforts to track ICE or identify its masked agents conducting raids. In early September, the Department of Homeland Security subpoenaed Meta for Stop ICE Raids Alert Network’s Instagram account, as well as about a number of other non-profit organizations and rapid response networks; the subpoena has been temporarily blocked pending a court hearing. At least one person has allegedly lost their job in connection to these apps.
