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.

One of the admins of the group is Amanda Noelle Koehler, a prominent protest organizer and former campaign strategist for Walz.
Koehler, who goes by the code name “HAH” in the chat, is listed as one of the group’s admins.
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. https://t.co/xeOV6jpcPm pic.twitter.com/UuZQ7gEZiE

The former Walz staffer has allegedly been actively involved in mobilizing volunteers to track and harass federal agents during “Operation Metro Surge,” the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration violations in the Twin Cities.

The chat also has local politician David Snyder listed as an admin and Minnesota State Senate candidate Anita Smithson as a “dispatcher.”
Snyder deleted his LinkedIn account following the leak.
Screenshots from the leak show discussions on sharing sensitive information about ICE operations, including agent locations and tactics.

ICE chaser operations go all night. The dispatch call is 24/7. These are messages screenshotted at 2am asking for observers at a location with potential illegals.

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?! pic.twitter.com/bDjGt53NNv

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.

Here is a screenshot of the active dispatch call (it’s always active) as well as a shift change. You can see folks are changing their emojis, clocking in and out.

At one point, Higby himself recorded the discussion about him, as the protesters suspected him to be an ICE agent.

These thugs apparently have a “HOME BASE” though I haven’t been able to identify it. Here’s an ICE chaser indicating that he is “expected” there. pic.twitter.com/wlIrECeikA
