A detailed first-hand account claims that encrypted Signal groups across Minneapolis were infiltrated, revealing a coordinated, city-wide network aimed at identifying, tracking, and disrupting the activity of US federal immigration agents.
According to the account, the infiltration lasted several days and provided access to multiple regional and sub-regional chat groups that operate on a rotating, daily basis.
The description outlines a highly structured system: each part of the city maintains one or more Signal groups divided into “patrol zones,” staffed by participants assigned specific roles marked by emojis. These include mobile patrols searching for “suspicious” vehicles, license-plate checkers comparing plates against a shared database of alleged federal vehicles, and dispatch operators running open calls throughout the day and night.
When a vehicle is flagged, images and videos are requested for “documentation,” and participants are directed to follow and confront the suspected agents. The system reportedly uses a military-style “SALUTE” reporting format to relay force size, activity, locations, uniforms, and timing.
