Think of this as your investigation log. Answer each question to explain what you discovered and how you got there.
1. Write a brief overall summary of your findings.
I found that Enrique Tarrio, the Ex-leader of the Proud Boys has been named in a leaked document saying that he is an ICE employee.
2. What primary sources did you find (e.g., transcripts, videos of politician speeches, tweets from public figures, scientific studies)? For each source, write at least one or two sentences explaining what you learned. Include all links.

NowThisImpact also states that hes been found in the leaked documents and makes a joke saying "Fork Found in Kitchen".
3. What secondary sources did you find (e.g., newspapers, magazines)? Only use secondary sources if sufficient primary sources are not available. For each source, write at least one or two sentences explaining what you learned. Include all links.
4. What potential biases or interests might each of your sources have?
There may be potential biases against ICE due to their recent actions.
5. What evidence supports the claim you are fact-checking?
A member of the Department of Homeland Security leaked documents naming Tarrio a member of ICE.
6. What evidence undermines the claim you are fact-checking?
There is no direct photo of his name being in there it is only word of mouth. There are also no large media companies picking up the story either.
7. What happened when you tried contacting the person or group who made the original claim? (Always try to contact them—it’s okay if you don’t get a reply. For example, if the claim is that the president said something, try reaching out to the administration. If it was a Bluesky user, message that user on Bluesky.)
