Here's Why the Mobs Mysteriously Show Up Out of Nowhere at ICE Raids and Protests

We know the left has used interactive maps and text alerts, such as when they mapped the addresses of conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices. Violence followed. A man was arrested on his way to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

And now the same kinds of technology are being used to bring mobs and violence down on the heads of ICE agents. We noticed this when the group receiving $34 million in California tax dollars and another $500,000 from the feds, CHIRLA, was using other Americans' money to track down ICE agents and simply show up to protest and try to stop ICE raids and other government actions.

We first got an idea that leftists were dropping a dime on federal officers when the indictment for SEIU boss David Huerta claimed that he and his posse showed up to a raid on a business being served warrants for laundering money for a Mexican cartel.

The questions began. How did he find out? Did the cartel the feds were investigating use these renta-mobs and allies to intentionally keep the feds from doing their jobs? Was this just a fluke?

During the first notable bust in Los Angeles, Huerta, the Democrats’ SEIU union bagman, got word about the FBI, HSI, and other federal agencies that were involved in the bust at Ambiance Apparel in the fashion district. 

In my story "SEIU Union Boss Charged With 'Impeding' L.A. 'ICE' Bust—But How Did He Know About It in the First Place," I included an excerpt from the indictment where a Homeland Security Investigations supervisor, who is in charge of the Cyber Financial Investigations group, expressed curiosity—indeed, alarm—that their bust of a company in the fashion district was detected. 

I couldn't help but wonder how anyone could have known about the bust in advance.  Would the Trump Administration tip off the local looney lefties?

That question may have been answered by the Department of Homeland Security investigator's narrative of the incident:

"I am also aware from speaking with an undercover officer in plain clothes that at some point after the operation began, at approximately 11:10 a.m., a woman arrived outside a vehicular gate separating the premises from the street. 

This woman started expressing her views against immigration enforcement and began using her phone to film law enforcement officers on the other side of the gate. 

The undercover officer recalled hearing the woman make reference on her phone to the existence of “DEA” and “FBI,” and also heard her describe where various officers were standing. 

She appeared to be narrating to someone else on the other line, possibly by using a video conferencing feature.  According to the undercover officer, approximately 15- 30 minutes after the woman completed her call, multiple additional protestors arrived at the site of the search warrant. 

Based on my review of the video captured by the undercover officer, a person later identified as HUERTA arrived on scene no later than approximately 11:49 a.m. 

The protestors, including HUERTA, appeared to be communicating with each other in a concerted effort to disrupt the law enforcement operations."

The undercover officer also captured videos showing HUERTA apparently typing text into his digital device while present at the protest. 

It looks like the lefty groups had a way of monitoring the feds and mobilizing shock troops to cause chaos.

But how did they do it? It turns out there are multiple ways. The left has used Reddit, the SafeSignal app, shared maps, and Facebook to crowdsource the whereabouts of the feds and call out the shock troops to stop or record the raids.

There are text alert lines run by the website People over Papers that sends real-time intelligence about “men with military style garb” who might be hassling suspected illegal aliens. 

People Over Papers also runs a nearly real-time interactive map that is crowdsourced. Others can be found on Padlet, Reddit, and Facebook. 

RadarSafe also has a presence on Facebook. 

MigrantInsider.net uses SignalSafe to plat the ICE raids, or what people believe are ICE raids. StopIce.net also keeps track of la migra.

Wired reports that the left uses RadarSafe to send out digital alerts, and the popular Meta app WhatsApp has an active migration and visa portal dropping dime on ICE and other feds. 

If this surveillance by the public intended to rain pain on ICE officers is startling to you, it goes doubly for law enforcement and intelligence agencies that are at risk of being mobbed.

Wired also notes that U.S. intelligence agencies, including the “US Army threat monitoring center known as ARTIC,” are investigating how these encrypted apps and websites could be used to compromise national security.

“While it acknowledges that most of the users appear to be civilians working to avoid contact with federal agents,” the website reports, “it nevertheless raises the specter of ‘malicious actors’ potentially relying on such open-source transparency tools to physically target law enforcement.”

But the door swings both ways.

There’s at least one phone app called ICERAID that keeps track of suspected illegal aliens. Not only that, but if it turns out to be solid intelligence, the snitch wins crypto currency.

Migrant Insider reports that things are not bueno in snitchville:

ICERAID’s pitch is simple: become a digital bounty hunter. Snap a photo of someone you suspect is undocumented and possibly committing a crime. Upload it. Wait for AI to analyze the image. If ICE acts on it, or if the post generates enough “validations,” you get rewarded.

But it’s not clear what, if anything, users are actually being paid. On ICERAID’s Telegram channel, dozens of disgruntled “early adopters” complain of never receiving promised tokens from a March presale. 

And, of course, the feds are asking for help as well with their own hotline.

Though the full weight of the government was brought down on the heads of the January 6 tourists, protesters, and few bad actors, the left has now discovered that there could be a problem with using intelligence to track down people who are “hiding in the shadows,” “wiping our asses,”  “picking our crops," and, by their presence,  breaking the law.

CNN waxed apoplectic in April when it caught wind that DOGE, partnering with defense contractor Palantir, was developing a way to detect who is in the country illegally using current government data. 

There is nothing wrong with President Trump making moves to prompt people to self-deport or put the bad actors in jail. 

But what does a so-called free country do when bad people use its own tools to defeat its laws? 

And by bad people, you can pace this L.A. council member in that malevolent tribe. Recently I wrote about her in the story "City Official Asks LA Police Chief to Obstruct Justice, and Then Things Got Dumber From There." She wanted the police chief to create an AI phone app to track where the next ICE bust was going to be. 

That idea went down with the speed of the Hindenburg. Something about obstruction of justice or something....
