Why???

Is it that only blue states and certain blue cities seem to be having ‘issues’ with ICE?

Much less the CF in Minneapolis right now? Funny how ‘this’ has knocked the fraud/Somali corruption off the front pages...

I’ve gotten this from a variety of folks yesterday, so I’m presenting it in full, and my comments are below...

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops--both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations--I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction--or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers--complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal--you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at--or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

When you look at this, and the Signal software they appear to be using coordinate, HERE, it’s fairly obvious that this is NOT just a bunch of random protesters. They are PAID by somebody(s), and definitely have an agenda.

And the Dems are now all in on another .gov shutdown to ‘prevent’ funding for ICE.

IMHO, this is collusion between the Dems, the ‘protesters’ and is insurrection, and is directly against the administration, without a doubt. Past time for the administration to step in an stop this.
