THIS IS INSANITY: Anti-ICE Activists Run Military-Grade Surveillance Operation Against Federal Agents Across 13 Databases — Military Veteran Sounds Alarm

February 6, 2026

According to a bombshell investigation first reported by Fox News Digital, anti-ICE activists across the country are running what amounts to a civilian intelligence-gathering operation targeting U.S. federal law enforcement, using military-grade surveillance techniques, encrypted communications, and a sprawling web of databases that store sensitive information on immigration officers.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a leaked Signal group chat has exposed deep ties between Democrat officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and radical anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis.

The private messaging group, called “MN ICE Watch,” has allegedly been used to coordinate protests, issue marching orders, and even dox federal ICE agents during the ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis.

Names of the group’s administrators were leaked after the group was infiltrated by conservative independent journalist Cam Higby and posted to X.

One of the admins of the group is Amanda Noelle Koehler, a prominent protest organizer and former campaign strategist for Walz.

Koehler, who goes by the code name “HAH” in the chat, is listed as one of the group’s admins.

The former Walz staffer has allegedly been actively involved in mobilizing volunteers to track and harass federal agents during “Operation Metro Surge,” the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration violations in the Twin Cities.

The chat also has local politician David Snyder listed as an admin and Minnesota State Senate candidate Anita Smithson as a “dispatcher.”

According to Fox News, at least 200 anti-ICE organizations are now operating a coordinated human-intelligence (HUMINT) collection system across the country.

Data collected includes:

License plate numbers
Geolocation coordinates
Timestamps
Uniform descriptions
Photographs
Behavioral patterns
Names, phone numbers, and email addresses of federal agents

That data is funneled into at least 13 databases, operating through 18 regional hubs, mostly in Democrat-controlled states and cities.

Retired U.S. Army Green Beret Eric Schwalm, who used the SALUTE framework during combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, reviewed the materials uncovered by Fox News, and was stunned.

“This is mind-blowing,” Schwalm said. “We have an entire nation of collectors against our country’s law enforcement. It’s extremely dangerous.”

He added that if insurgents in Iraq had run operations this sophisticated, “we couldn’t have stayed past 2007.”
