Fox News Digital uncovers a shadow network of anti-ICE scouts tracking law enforcement across 13 databases in a surveillance operation a retired Green Beret warns is 'dangerous'

Early last week, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau is investigating the use of the encrypted Signal messaging platform by "ICE Watch" activists to track and block federal immigration enforcement.

Just days later, Jill Garvey, co-founder of a group called "States at the Core," logged into a Zoom webinar to train a new crop of "rapid responders" on a military-grade intelligence gathering method called "SALUTE." An acronym for Size, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment, SALUTE is a mnemonic device that typically instructs soldiers how to systematically track details about enemies. Garvey framed the work as operational surveillance against agents she had called "mercenaries" in an interview days earlier.

"We are all ICE Watch!" declared Garvey, whose group is funded by the Hopewell Fund, a dark-money organization aligned with the Democratic Party. She added a boast that she's taught 40,000 "rapid responders" this past year.

Garvey is just one of hundreds of anti-government operatives training agitators to interfere with federal law enforcement. Last Saturday, Manola De Los Santos, co-founder of the People’s Forum – a Marxist-Leninist organization funded by a China-based tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, with documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party – hosted an all-day "People’s Assembly for ICE Out of NY!" at the group’s headquarters on W. 37th Street.

Well, we know how terrified leftist are just thinking of military weapons of war (unless they are shooting them).
Why are they comfortable using encrypted, military style communications?

Encrypted? S.A.L.U.T.E. is an acronym for a surveillance technique.

The worry is terrorists and foreign spies using it to help destroy us. Not that the citizen commies aren’t doing a good job by themselves but this needs addressed as a security threat to our country.

Patriot Act 2.0 on deck!

History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure echoes a lot. I hate how they do this to us. "The only way we can protect you is to convince you to give up just a liiiiiitle bit more of your liberty.... again."

What exactly are they doing after surveillance? Blowing whistles, cursing, standing in the street and getting pepper sprayed?

Most all of this stuff is what liberal courts deem to be "exercising free speech". We know it impedes ICE. Otherwise why do it?

This is yet another example of how we are in a post constitutional era. The document was not intended to protect garbage like this. Conservatives have their moment now to put a stop to this at a very basic level. I hope they do before it is too late.

No. It's a method of reporting enemy activity. SALUTE report.

No more than a 9-Line is a "medical technique" or your discharge papers are a "surgical technique."

It's worse. These groups do not organize only when Trump is POTUS. They are the same groups and tactics used against conservatives when Democrats are in office ... and they do it under the protections of the government.
