🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them.

BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED

Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group to start.

I have been undercover inside the groups for days.

You’ll notice emojis next to people’s names. Here’s a key for what those emojis mean.

The highlighted positions are the most crucial. Most are self explanatory. Mobile patrols spend their entire “shift” searching for suspicious vehicles.

When they find one they send it to the group so that “plate checkers” can compare with their database and see if it’s a known federal vehicle or if the patrol can make the confirmation so that the database can be updated.

Dispatch runs a maxed out call all day telling protestors where ICE has been spotted and how they can be best impeded.

For each “occupation” or “shift” position, protestors have to undergo “training”

It’s unclear what the training entails - other than numerous slides of instruction. I’ve seen it mentioned repeatedly. Who is paying for all this?!

Each chat (for a specific part of each city) has smaller districts broken up within it called “patrol zones” which guide ICE chasers on where they should be/position.

Here is a screen recording of their plate database as well as a link to its instructions.

Here is a screenshot of the active dispatch call (it’s always active) as well as a shift change. You can see folks are changing their emojis, clocking in and out.

I’ll also attach below a video of dispatch actually tracking the vehicle I was in claiming that we were “confirmed ICE”

They constantly misidentify vehicles. Pay attention to emojis tagged on plate checks.

Here is a recording of protestors actively tailing the vehicle I was in, labeling me as ICE and instructing “commuters” (ICE chasers) to follow me.

A new group chat for each zone is made each day. The chats are dated, and deleted at the end of each day.

This is likely to avoid detection, record keeping, and consequences.

My mid-day, the group chats hit maximum capacity (1,000 people) allowed by signal and people who are not chasing federal agents are asked to leave to create room for those who are.

The dispatch calls also reach maximum capacity constantly. I believe it’s 50 people maximum. Which means, at any given time in each small zone, there are 50 people chasing agents.

The quasi police force uses a system called “SALUTE” which calls out the size of federal units, activity, locations, uniforms, times and locations.

They then instruct their ICE chasers to follow and confront agents at their known locations.

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND LOCAL POLICE ARE COOPERATING.

Here an “observer” calls out a possible agent but says she’s just out walking her dog so can’t continue on.

Dispatch called for “backup”

Also below is a message indicating that local PD may get involved if ICE “hinders public safety”

These thugs apparently have a “HOME BASE” though I haven’t been able to identify it. Here’s an ICE chaser indicating that he is “expected” there.

Here are chasers discussing what should be done after realizing they positively identified my vehicle as ICE, but then found out it was me.

I believe this person MIGHT be the aggressive individual in the second photo.

Here is more dispatch chatter, where they tweak out when they discover a vehicle. Whistles and horns can be heard in the background.

The dispatcher asks for photos and videos of the plate for “documentation” purposes.

The protestors use a “mutual aid” system. I tried to join the mutual aid that for Bloomington.

An admin told me that it was a vetted chat for teachers and that I’d need to describe my relationship to a school. And give my real name.

I couldn’t do that so I never made it in.

Why are there teachers aiding in this effort?!?!

ICE chaser operations go all night. The dispatch call is 24/7. These are messages screenshotted at 2am asking for observers at a location with potential illegals.

It’s from a “vetted” chat called “Wolfpack”

The coordinators frequently delete messages to cover their tracks. This is another layer of security on top of the daily chat refreshes.

Here is an admin list for several chats. These generally consist of code names.
