The leak came from independent journalist Cam Higby, who infiltrated the encrypted Signal group and published screenshots, videos, and audio recordings to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.

“I have infiltrated organizational Signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding, assaulting, and obstructing them,” Higby wrote. “Buckle up — all will be revealed.” According to Higby’s thread, “MN ICE Watch” operates as a decentralized network of “patrols,” “dispatchers,” and “plate checkers” who share real-time intelligence on alleged ICE movements across Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs.

The groups reportedly use code names, emojis, and a plate-tracking database to identify federal vehicles and coordinate tailing of agents.

Screenshots from the leak appear to show Amanda Noelle Koehler, a former campaign strategist for Gov. Walz, listed as one of the group’s administrators under the alias “HAH.”

Other admins reportedly include local politician David Snyder and Minnesota State Senate candidate Anita Smithson, who was identified as a “dispatcher.”
