Story Highlights
- Conservative journalist Cam Higby infiltrates Signal groups doxxing ICE agents.
- Protests erupt in Minneapolis following federal shootings.
- DHS attributes violence surge to local sanctuary policies and rhetoric.
- Exposure raises concerns about the use of tech in organized activism.
Secret Doxxing Networks Unveiled
Conservative journalist Cam Higby has exposed a secretive network of anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis using Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to track and doxx ICE and Border Patrol agents. These revelations come amidst heightened immigration enforcement by the Trump administration in the sanctuary state of Minnesota. Higby’s investigation reveals structured, tech-enabled coordination among protesters aimed at obstructing federal operations and endangering agents.
Higby shared screenshots and videos from these Signal groups, demonstrating how activists organize into roles like mobile patrols and plate checkers, and reset chats daily to evade detection. Federal officers conducting deportations in Minneapolis have faced increased threats as a result, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reporting unprecedented spikes in assaults and death threats against agents.
Violence Sparks Fear and Backlash
The exposure of these groups coincided with violent protests in Minneapolis following the shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol officer during an anti-ICE demonstration. The unrest escalated when protesters targeted a local hotel, suspecting federal agents were lodged there, leading to property damage and police intervention. The DHS has condemned these actions, attributing the violence to local politicians’ sanctuary policies and rhetoric that embolden activists.
Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have been criticized for their sanctuary stance, which DHS officials claim incites hostility towards federal agents. The current administration’s firm stance on immigration enforcement contrasts sharply with the previous administration’s policies, intensifying the political and social divide in the region.
Concerns Over Encrypted Coordination
The use of Signal for encrypted communication among activists highlights a growing trend of tech-enabled resistance against law enforcement. The implications of such organized activism raise concerns about privacy and security, as well as the potential for increased violence. As these groups continue to adapt and coordinate through technology, federal and local authorities face challenges in maintaining order and ensuring the safety of agents tasked with enforcing immigration laws.
The situation in Minneapolis serves as a flashpoint for the broader national debate on immigration policies and the balance between sanctuary protections and federal enforcement. As tensions persist, the need for dialogue and cooperation between state and federal entities becomes increasingly apparent.
