The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has become the third most-blocked account on Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform.

The development comes after ICE got its official verification there.

The news comes as many users of the platform have expressed their displeasure at the presence of a government account on the site.

The White House and other government agencies that joined Bluesky last October include the departments of Homeland Security, Commerce, Transportation, Interior, Health and Human Services, State, as well as Defense.

The move made the White House one of the most-blocked accounts on Bluesky.

Currently, it is second only to US Vice President JD Vance in terms of blocking activity as per Clearsky stats.

Unlike other government accounts, ICE didn't join Bluesky in October.

Its account @icegov.bsky.social joined the network on November 26, 2025. The account was verified a few days ago, sparking user outrage.

To note, ICE already has accounts on other social media platforms such as X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
