ICE Infiltrated Minneapolis Protests, Unions

The mentally ill Malignant Fascist's personal thug army, ICE, is reported to have infiltrated protest meetings and unions during their siege of Minneapolis, spying on demonstrators and progressive organizations.  The Guardian reports:

"Newly disclosed records reveal the US government extensively spied on prominent leftwing organizations and on protesters as part of a vast operation into groups opposing the immigration crackdown in Minnesota earlier this year.

Internal investigative reports show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent undercover agents to community meetings in the Twin Cities and New York City, infiltrated Signal chats and obtained financial records of mainstream unions and left-leaning non-profit groups.

Nearly 30 internal law enforcement reports were released on Thursday as part of a criminal case the Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed against 15 Minneapolis protesters. The defendants are accused of a 'conspiracy' to 'impede' US immigration officers during the Trump administration’s surge in the region." (our emphasis)

The MF's masked thugs view themselves as above the law, assured that the Federal government will decline to prosecute them, and that the MF's pardon power would be exercised if necessary at the end of his term.  More from The Guardian's article:

"A DHS report from February said the agency was looking into people who were 'providing material support to violent opportunists and agitators'. The records suggest agents launched elaborate spying efforts targeting activists, protesters and mainstream progressive organizations opposing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

'I was shocked at the scope and the apparent lack of investigative discipline involved, but not totally surprised,' said Kevin Riach, an attorney for one of the indicted protesters, who filed the tranche of records in federal court."

If DHS's rhetoric sounds like that used against civil rights protesters by white segregationists in the 1960s you're not alone.  Harassment and intimidation of lawful protests by ICE is a tactic used by right wing forces going back decades.  Now, the "outside agitators" aren't the Freedom Riders of the past, but the citizens of Minneapolis who were disgusted by ICE's brutality and fascistic behavior and protested accordingly.  The case brought by the MF's "Justice" Department is another attack on the First Amendment by this corrupt regime.
