Radical anti-ICE network uses mass Signal chat network, license plate database to tra
Quote:Radical anti-ICE networks in Minnesota have been forming "rapid response networks" with various group chats in order to obstruct and prevent ICE from making lawful arrests of criminal illegal immigrants. This comes as there has been a surge of immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities region. A "guide" to these chats and the network also praised throwing rocks at federal agents as well as breaking car windows.
The groups, known as “Rapid Response Networks,” have released a “guide” to their “model” of obstructing immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities on CrimethInc—a leftist website that claims to be a "rebel alliance" think tank that spurs leftist "collective action." The network around the Twin Cities mainly uses Signal chats through a network of "dispatchers" who split the city into different chunks for surveillance of ICE through tracking identifiers such as license plates.
"Sometimes, multiple dispatchers overlap to split up the extra tasks of watching the chat, relaying reports to other channels, and checking license plates,” of ICE agents, the website states. “Dispatch also helps people evenly distribute patrols across an area, takes notes, and assists people through confrontations. All patrollers in cars and on foot and stay on the call throughout their patrol. There is a constant flow of information, allowing other cars to decide whether they are well-positioned to join in, take over tailing the car, or continue searching for additional vehicles.”
The “patrollers” are those who follow ICE vehicles, and they will sometimes switch off who is following the ICE cars. Some of the license plate information is gathered from radicals in the network who track vehicles going to and from the ICE headquarters “Whipple” building. This group is called “Whipple Watch.”
The network tracks ICE movement in real time and then notifies other people in the city through the Signal chats. The network also has "a data collection team [that] collects anonymized data submitted from Whipple Watch and many of the local rapid response chats, aggregating them into consumable formats, such as interactive maps of hotspots."
There is also a team in the network that "admins [a] searchable database of license plates sorted by 'confirmed ICE,' 'suspected ICE,' 'confirmed not ICE,' and other categories."
All of this communication is also translated into different languages, according to the leftist activism group. "Finally, Spanish language relayers copy ICE alerts from dispatch calls and local chats, translate them, then send to large Spanish-language Signal and WhatsApp networks," the website says.
The leftist website then tells others to "learn from" the anti-ICE tactics being used in Minnesota, and says that the fight against ICE is "defined by those who push the envelope. People use their cars and bodies to block agents and de-arrest targeted people. They throw snowballs and rocks; they kick back canisters of tear gas. They cover cars and agents with paint and break the windows of their cars. They don’t stop screaming in the faces of abductors when they are hit, pepper sprayed, or shot with rubber bullets."
The website then claims those who "push the envelope" are "witnessing the masked abductions, undisclosed disappearances, and record-breaking deaths of this new emboldened ICE, and they are willing to take real risks to stop them." It goes on to add that these people, who are committing felony offenses in legal terms, are "stronger, and braver in spite of it."

Leftist Activist Admits Before Salt Lake City Council She RUNS “ICE Watch” — Claims Group Coordinates With Over 20,000 Migrants and Maintains Photo Database Targeting ICE Agents
Quote:A left-wing activist identifying herself only as “TJ” openly told the Salt Lake City Council that she runs a large-scale “ICE Watch” operation, a coordinated activist network that tracks federal immigration agents, collects photos, verifies tips, and shares real-time intelligence.
The shocking confession was delivered calmly and unapologetically.
According to her own words, TJ has been operating the network for nearly a full year, overseeing what amounts to a civilian surveillance and intelligence operation targeting federal law enforcement officers whose job it is to enforce U.S. immigration law.
TJ:
“TJ is here in person. My name is TJ. I’m a resident of Salt Lake City. I am uniquely informed about ICE activity, as I’ve been running a virtual ICE Watch with over 20,000 local, mostly Latino, community members for 356 days now. It’s community-led. People send me photos and tips, and I verify the information.
Over the year, we’ve witnessed repeated disregard for both constitutional and human rights of hardworking, tax-paying, beloved community members—the majority of whom have no criminal record at all.
We’ve seen federalized agents lie repeatedly about incidents to try and drum up federal charges. We’ve seen them force random store customers to lie on the ground and hold them at gunpoint.
We’ve seen them kidnap a woman with legal status to get her husband to surrender in her place.
You won’t hear most of these stories because families are too afraid to share. And while most incidents happen on the West Side, even the ones within Salt Lake City violate people’s Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless, racially profiled stops and unreasonable searches.
They violate their Fifth Amendment right to due process, and they lead to detainment in deplorable, inhumane confinement conditions where people are cold, hungry, dirty, humiliated, disrespected, and worse.
I believe we’re being shielded from what’s happening in blue states like Minnesota by our blue-dot status within an otherwise red state. I understand you think you’re doing all you can, but there’s still more that Salt Lake City and SLCPD can do.
I’m running out of time, but I’ll be sending a follow-up memo tonight with specific actions you can take.”
Via Wall Street Apes:
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, had “trained” to do “ICE Watch” and disrupt the agency’s operations.
The Minnesota ICE Watch group that Renee Good was part of has been exposed for sharing a “de-arrest primer” manual that teaches its members and supporters how to physically interfere with law enforcement during arrests.
The guide, posted on their Instagram account in June, states that every de-arrest is a “micro-intifada,” and provides step-by-step advice on confronting and assaulting officers.
Minnesota ICE Watch, described as a “loose collective of agitators,” focuses on documenting and resisting federal immigration enforcement, including ICE agents. The group operates under the banner of an “autonomous collective documenting & resisting against ICE, police, & all colonial militarized regimes,” as stated on their Instagram profile.

They think they're revolutionaries...
Wonder if our brain trust is taking the holiday off and ain't posting because they don't have internets at home or are they out protesting?
