I’ve seen insurgencies up close — and anti-ICE actions look eerily familiar

Americans remain bitterly divided over the chaos that’s engulfed Minneapolis as President Donald Trump seeks to deport illegal-immigrant criminals.

Some see the protesters thwarting the enforcement of immigration law as “protecting friends and neighbors” — a form of righteous vigilantism.

Others contend Trump’s efforts are legal and necessary — despite the tragic deaths of two civilians who unlawfully interfered with federal enforcement action.

The tactics and behavior of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are under deserved scrutiny in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

But what about the anti-ICE provocateurs, agitators and instigators hell-bent on disrupting and impeding immigration enforcement?

Just how do they “spontaneously” materialize en masse to scream profanities, blast whistles and block official vehicles?

On Saturday, The Post revealed a piece of that puzzle with leaked data from an operation calling itself the “Community of Service.”

The group, led by a cadre of dispatchers, uses the secure messaging app Signal and the business-focused scheduling program AirTable to track ICE activity, schedule volunteer patrollers and spy on the license plates of suspected DHS vehicles in one sector of Minneapolis.

Dispatchers and patrollers working in round-the-clock shifts can quickly rouse members to the site of any ICE action with emoji-coded text messages.

And “Community of Service” appears to be just one of many separate anti-ICE cells taking part in these disturbances, all of them covering their electronic tracks and using aliases to shield their identities.

We already are at war and we have only seen the beginning.

Why is it ALL the protestors are 40+ white liberals?

One would think so-called minorities, legal migrants, and their relatives/associates would be out on the street.

Yet there’s not a Somali or migrant face among them.

At the last “no kings” protest in my town it was probably 80% white women, 15% white liberal beta males in 5% non-white was being generous. If I had to guess, 90% of the protesters were in their 20s or early 30s or late 60s. Sure, there were a few outliers, but they just seemed to miss it in entire generation or two and several demographics.

I kind of get the older people who are retired, presumably, and they want to relive some of the things they did in the 60s, but I can’t quite figure out why no one passed, for the most part 35 never shows up at these in my area at least

I think we all understand what a color revolution looks like by now. I want to see it wrestled to the ground a stake put through its heart.

I think former Green Beret Eric Schwalm laid it out clearly and extensively.

Former Green Beret : "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." FR thread 1/26/2026

The Democrats are very obviously engaging in a color revolution. They are dead serious about overthrowing the United States.

Maybe so, but the vast overwhelming majority of America are solidly behind this.

This is part of the gaslighting. They reflexively call something “controversial” when it’s just not really the case. I’m sure illegal aliens don’t care for it, but that’s not really news. But they try to make it so. Editorials posing as news - lamenting how people are frightened. Yeah. Funny how that works. You’re in a country illegally without any authorization whatsoever. You should be scared.

He’s saying the anti-ICE activity is the kind of thing that regime-change actors engineer.
