According to the Daily Caller (June 19, 2018) "Antifa, a violent, so-called anti-fascist group, tweeted out a list of over 1,500 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ identities.
The Twitter account “nebraska antifa” sent out a tweet to its followers on Tuesday that linked to the personal information of ICE officers compiled from information found on LinkedIn.
The Tweet stated: “I’ve downloaded and made available the profiles of (almost) everyone on LinkedIn who works for ICE, 1,595 people in total. While I don’t have a precise idea of what should be done with this data set, I leave it here with the hope that researchers, journalists, and activists will find it useful.” The Antifa Twitter account linked to an archived post, where viewers can access the original database of ICE Agent created by searching LinkedIn accounts."

If you have a on-line profile that identifies your official function in government and/or law enforcement, the information that you post there may find its way into anti-government / anti-law enforcement lists and databases.
Of course, this isn't just a concern for government employees. Any information that anyone posts on-line should be assumed to be public, regardless of what privacy settings you may have set.
On-line profiles that identify your government or corporate position increase your risks of spear phishing, doxing, and identity theft.
