MN ICE Watch Signal Leak Reveals Alleged Anti-ICE Network
The MN ICE Watch Signal Leak has sparked a political storm across Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. Screenshots and recordings appear to show coordination between activists and individuals linked to Minnesota Democratic politics.
Independent journalist Cam Higby published the material on X, formerly Twitter. The posts included screenshots, audio recordings, and videos allegedly taken from a private Signal messaging group.
According to Higby, the encrypted group chat was called “MN ICE Watch.” He said the network tracked the movements of federal immigration agents and organized protests.
The reported goal was to monitor operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Members allegedly shared real-time updates about agent locations across Minneapolis and nearby suburbs.
MN ICE Watch Signal Leak Shows Organized Messaging Structure
Higby said the group used a decentralized structure. Members were reportedly divided into roles including patrols, dispatchers, and plate checkers.
These participants allegedly tracked federal vehicles and reported their movements. The system also used code names, emojis, and license-plate tracking tools.
Screenshots published in the thread appear to identify Amanda Noelle Koehler, a former campaign strategist for Governor Tim Walz, as an administrator. She reportedly appeared under the alias “HAH.”
Other administrators allegedly included local politician David Snyder and Minnesota State Senate candidate Anita Smithson. Higby identified Smithson as a dispatcher within the group.
MN ICE Watch Signal Leak Describes Patrol Zones and Dispatch Calls
The leaked messages suggest the network divided participants into patrol zones. Each zone reportedly operated separate daily group chats.
Higby said these rotating chats helped prevent detection. He also claimed that the Signal groups often reached maximum capacity by midday.
Members who were not actively tracking agents were reportedly asked to leave. This allowed space for others who were following ICE vehicles.
Additionally, Higby published recordings of dispatch calls within the network. In one example, activists believed they were tracking his vehicle.
However, Higby said the group frequently misidentified vehicles. Despite this, he described the system as highly organized.
MN ICE Watch Signal Leak Includes Training and Supply Requests
Some leaked messages referenced volunteer training and logistical support. Participants reportedly used “mutual aid” channels to request supplies or reinforcements.
One chat group, called “Wolfpack,” allegedly operated overnight. Messages reportedly instructed observers to monitor activity after 2 a.m.
Higby also claimed that members used SALUTE codes, a reporting format used to describe the size, activity, and location of units.
Other posts suggested the network had a physical meeting point described as a “home base.” Higby said he had not identified the location.
Federal Officials Review MN ICE Watch Signal Leak
The leak comes as Minnesota officials face federal scrutiny. The U.S. Department of Justice recently issued subpoenas to Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
The investigation is examining claims that state and local officials interfered with federal immigration enforcement. Conservative lawmakers said the leaked material could support those concerns.
One senior Republican aide told Just the News that the reporting suggests a coordinated network. The aide described it as political operatives working to undermine federal immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, federal law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital they are reviewing the material. Authorities are examining potential violations of federal law.
Possible offenses include obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and doxxing of federal personnel. These allegations could carry criminal penalties if proven.
Following the publication of the leak, several protest groups reportedly went silent online. Some Signal groups appeared to be deleted or recreated under new names.
