Quote:FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that he had opened an investigation into the Signal group text chats that Minnesota residents are using to share information about federal immigration agents’ movements, launching a new front in the Trump administration’s conflict there with potential free speech implications.
“The Constitution takes precedence over any conflicting state or federal law, and over any official’s desire to suppress speech they dislike,” he said in his email.
He added: “There is a First Amendment exception for speech intended and likely to provoke imminent unlawful action, but that doesn’t apply to just any speech the government claims puts officials in harm’s way. By contrast, if individuals are threatening federal agents or conspiring to physically harm them, that is illegal. But conspiracy requires an agreement to commit a specific crime and a substantial step toward carrying it out.”
Patel also said the FBI had made “substantial progress” in an investigation into groups and people responsible for funding resistance to immigration enforcement. He alleged that the protests and neighborhood monitoring are “not happening organically” but did not immediately provide evidence.
I know the current rumor is that there might have been local government involvement, however no actual evidence of that has really been presented unless someone has something they would like to share.
What is clear is that the protests do seem to have a group of people that are coordinating at a high level and it explains things we have seen at other protest events where a truck load of gas masks just shows up, or large amounts of food being dropped off.
The ICE agitators have actually been fairly open about using apps and other digital resources to communicate quickly to members of what is going on and where so they can show up as quickly as possible.
The question is do you think this coordinated effort constitutes active warfare or is just some new but legal form guerrilla activism?
