As we watch the rampant harassment and obstruction of ICE officers throughout the country — but particularly in Minnesota — it’s become obvious that someone, or some entity, is organizing and funding many of these Leftist agitators. That’s not to say we should delude ourselves into thinking that there’s no grassroots support whatsoever for these anti-ICE riots. Clearly, millions of Americans support the open-borders agenda. They’ve embraced every tenet of the anti-American ideology that’s taught to children in many schools, from kindergarten on up. We can’t deny that. They’re causing the chaos we’re seeing, voluntarily, of their own free will.
At the same time, the scale of these campaigns to obstruct ICE — and their effectiveness — does not seem to be organic. Every army needs a general, after all. And that’s particularly true when the army mostly consists of overweight, dead-eyed women hooked on SSRIs, along with gay men and 68-IQ Somalis. So who’s the “general” of the anti-ICE movement, exactly? It would be a cliché to say it’s “George Soros” — but seriously, is it George Soros? And whoever it is, what orders is the “general” giving? What’s the command structure here?
To answer that question, some of my producers spent the last 48 hours joining so-called “ICE resistance” and “ICE Watch” groups via Facebook, Signal, and other platforms. In Minnesota, the largest and most visible of these groups is called “Defend the 612” or “Defend 612,” which is a reference to the area code of Minneapolis. In a prominent thread on Reddit on anti-ICE activism, “Defend the 612” is one of the top recommended groups that you’re supposed to join if you want to assist the movement. Elected Democrats in Minnesota have also encouraged their constituents to join the group, including the president of the Minneapolis City Council.
The top council members in Minneapolis are going to “do the work,” and they want you to “do the work” too, by joining Defend the 612. So what is Defend the 612, actually?
If you pull up a flyer for the group, you’ll see that they’re committed to interfering with law enforcement operations — which they call “abductions.” Put another way, they’re committed to committing federal crimes.
Here is one of those flyers we pulled from Facebook:
“Everyday, neighbors in Minneapolis are stopping and preventing abductions. Join us as we protect each other on our blocks, on our streets, on patrol, at schools, and at local hotels that are housing kidnappers.”
So they’re bragging about criminal obstruction, over at “Defend 612.” They’re also openly talking about harassing ICE agents in their hotels when they’re sleeping. And on top of all that, it’s not a very exclusive group. Anyone can become a member, as those Minnesota politicians indicated.
And indeed, upon joining “Defend 612”, my producers were met with a network of Signal groups and websites, including a “patrol handbook” that offers a series of highly detailed instructions. What’s notable about the handbook is that, at various points, it explicitly states that members shouldn’t violate federal law. But in other sections, the handbook clearly instructs members to engage in criminal activity. For example, there’s this line, from a section encouraging residents to enroll their friends in the resistance.
“If each and every block had a regular schedule of monitors, then abductors would not be able to operate in our city.”
Why might that be? Why would a group of “legal monitors” prevent ICE from conducting operations, exactly? You don’t really have to fill in the blanks on that one. Here’s some guidance from a document provided by the same group. This is the paragraph in gray.
“For ICE agents sitting parked in cars or driving around: Lay on your horn and Honk at them or gather as many people as possible to whistle and yell at them to CHASE THEM OUT. You can do this, and everyone is doing this. Phillips and Powderhorn [which are neighborhoods in south Minneapolis] do not tolerate masked abductors taking our neighbors. Form a crowd and be as loud as your commitment is to your people and get them out of here.”
Then there’s this section from the patrol manual, which offers advice for members on how to call 911 on ICE, effectively by lying to the 911 operator so that they send officers and obstruct ICE.
………And they’re very well-organized. Take a look at this section of the handbook.
……It would be entertaining if these people weren’t genuinely, obviously unhinged. This is mass psychosis. And again, it’s well-organized. In addition to the dispatch system, the Leftists are using a procedure called “SALUTE” to standardize the way they report ICE activity to the larger group.
That acronym is actually used by the military during field and war operations.
……..What’s needed now — which the administration seems to understand — is far more aggressive enforcement action. Don’t just double the number of ICE officers on the street. Go after the organizers. Go after anyone who’s funding them. After a certain point — once the checks dry up, the cars are impounded, and the agitators are sent to prison — it will end. Yes, they are well-funded and highly committed to their cause. But they’re also very careless. They don’t expect anyone to pursue them, which is why my producers were able to gain access to all of their groups. It’s time to use their narcissism and naivete against them, and to begin the crackdown on Left-wing terror cells that we’ve been waiting for ever since September 10.
The article also covers several sources of funding for these mobs, since they’re not rioting and attacking law enforcement for free.
The financiers and top level organizers who fund and create these rent-a-mobs should be brought up on RICO charges.
Journalist Asra Nomani did a deep dive into the far left network behind the ant-ICE riots.
Every single mob tactic in response to law enforcement and ICE is organized by a well established and funded communist system. Their goal is to destroy America and Western civilization. They should be purged from the country and the planet.
