Signal Chat Infiltrated by Conservative Journalist Reveals Democrat Politicians and Former Tim Walz Staffer Orchestrating Anti-ICE Protests and Doxxing of Agents

by Cassandra MacDonald Jan. 25, 2026 10:30 am



A leaked Signal group chat has exposed deep ties between Democrat officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and radical anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis.

The private messaging group, called “MN ICE Watch,” has allegedly been used to coordinate protests, issue marching orders, and even dox federal ICE agents during the ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis.

Names of the group’s administrators were leaked after the group was infiltrated by conservative independent journalist Cam Higby and posted to X.

“I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them,” Higby wrote at the start of a lengthy thread of screenshots and videos from the chat.

The coordinators frequently delete messages to cover their tracks. This is another layer of security on top of the daily chat refreshes.

Code names HAH. Meet Amanda Noelle Koehler, one of the admins of the MN ICE Watch signal chat group. She believes that property damage isn't violence, was a campaign strategist for Tim Walz, and organizes a lot of the protests and walkouts in the area.

Higby explained:

I have been undercover inside the groups for days.

You’ll notice emojis next to people’s names. Here’s a key for what those emojis mean.

The highlighted positions are the most crucial. Most are self explanatory. Mobile patrols spend their entire “shift” searching for suspicious vehicles.

When they find one they send it to the group so that “plate checkers” can compare with their database and see if it’s a known federal vehicle or if the patrol can make the confirmation so that the database can be updated.

Dispatch runs a maxed out call all day telling protestors where ICE has been spotted and how they can be best impeded.

Protesters are also given “occupation” or “shift” positions, which require special training — but it is unclear what the training entails.

For each “occupation” or “shift” position, protestors have to undergo “training” It’s unclear what the training entails - other than numerous slides of instruction. I’ve seen it mentioned repeatedly. Who is paying for all this?!

The group has created a database of license plates of vehicles being used by ICE agents, and people can call in to check plates within the database.
