What’s happening in Minneapolis isn’t spontaneous — and it isn’t organic. Independent journalist Cam Higby has dropped a bombshell by infiltrating private Signal group chats of an anti-ICE activist network, exposing the scripted machinery behind the chaos. These aren’t random protesters clashing with cops; they’re coordinated ops with assigned roles for rioters, media manipulators, legal observers, and even street medics to sustain the disruption. Higby’s leaks reveal meticulous planning: scouting police movements, timing blockades to maximize media hits, and scripting narratives like mostly peaceful while torches burn. It’s a masterclass in astroturfed unrest, complete with doxxing threats against journalists who get too close—echoing the 2020 riots that torched cities and emboldened the same anti-law-enforcement crowd now targeting ICE.
Digging deeper, this isn’t just about immigration politics; it’s a blueprint for how leftist networks weaponize chaos to erode public safety and Second Amendment rights. These chats show explicit coordination to obstruct federal agents, harass officers, and flood sympathetic outlets with tailored footage—proving the organic protest myth is dead. For the 2A community, the implications are stark: if anti-ICE militants can orchestrate city-wide interference with zero accountability, imagine them scaling up against armed citizens at rallies or ranges. We’ve seen it before—BLM-affiliated groups labeling legal gun owners as threats and swarming events. This exposes the vulnerability: when activists control the streets and the story, self-defense becomes the first casualty. Law-abiding gun owners in Minneapolis are already reporting surveillance and veiled threats; it’s a warning shot that coordinated mobs don’t fear badges, but they do fear armed resolve.
The 2A takeaway? Arm up, document everything, and amplify these leaks. Higby’s work isn’t just receipts—it’s intel for patriots. Share it, because sunlight disinfects this swamp of organized anarchy. If they’re plotting in shadows against ICE today, your local sheriff’s posse is next. Stay vigilant, stay strapped, and let’s keep exposing the strings.
