They were inside the whole time.
Federal agents, folding chairs, anti-ice training sessions,
sipping the bad church basement coffee
like everybody else, nodding along,
taking very detailed notes. Oh, and who exposed it?
Wired, the left-wing tech magazine. They
meant it as a horror story. It reads more like a Yelp review.
Five stars, would vote again.
119 Homeland Security agents, at least 11 undercover, 15 terabytes of
Totally secure signal chats,
Reaper drones over Minneapolis, a Patriot Act tool from
the Treasury Department aimed at 29 people.
Oh, and 15 Minnesota residents hit.
With federal conspiracy charges, folks.
Oh, the evening news?
Crickets.
I mean, you had to hear it from the people
who hate it, which is kind of like finding
out that your team won the Super Bowl
from the other team's sobbing kicker.
Now, today, guys, you get everything.
Every operation, every number,
everything that they hope that you'd never put together.
Here's the wired setup, okay?
A dark...
Moody photo of an ICE agent. Terrifying, I know.
Looks like he might actually write you a parking
ticket and then return your library books late.
Then they compared President Donald Trump to the
FBI spying on the civil rights movement.
Now, this is a bold move, guys, because
millions of Americans, they read it and said, hold on.
That's what I voted for. Oops.
So Wired spent months building a case that Donald Trump is a
dictator, and all they proved
is that he went after people accused of stalking and assaulting
federal officers. This is not an expose, folks.
This is a campaign ad. Full color, you know,
free of charge. Somebody please send the invoice to the DNC.
Oh, and it gets even bigger than that.
Minnesota, governors, Tim Walz, backyard. Yep.
Washington, Michigan, Illinois, New York.
after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
DHS stopped asking nicely. Oh, and the riots?
The burning streets? Gone. Days before the midterms.
Not even a strongly worded cardboard sign.
Kinda weird. Well, we'll talk about why.
Now, real quick, guys, if you or someone
you love is on Medicare turning 65,
Chapter offers free Medicare help.
Give them a call right now. Phone number is down below
in the description. They're saving the average senior
a good $1,100 a year on average. Phone
number is 909-563-8279.
And if you're new here, guys, go ahead and subscribe. It is the only
group chat the feds aren't reading. Probably, we think.
Anyway, and if you enjoy the show, hit the like button on the way out.
No Reaper drone required.
All right, guys, so check this out. Picture the headline.
Big, bold, breathless. ICE is running
one of the largest anti-left surveillance operations in US history.
They compared it
to the FBI and CIA spying on civil rights and anti-war movements.
Heavy stuff, guys. Oh,
then they went ahead and slapped on a dark,
moody photo of some ICE agent. Shadows, serious face.
Almost kind of reminding me of somebody from Call of Duty.
Anyway, the kind of lighting that you'd use for a horror movie poster.
Or maybe even a cologne ad.
I really couldn't quite tell.
Anyway, super scary.
I'm shaking.
Somebody please hold me.
Now here's the thing, though.
Wired wanted you to see a dictator.
You saw a to-do list, all checked off.
And I want you to notice who's panicking.
Not you.
Not me.
The people under investigation.
If they did nothing wrong, then why so nervous?
This wasn't a hit piece. This was a report card.
And President Trump just got an A.
Thank you, Wired. Now,
picture a rented church basement, folding chairs,
a coffee pot that hasn't been cleaned since the Obama administration,
a whiteboard that says anti-ice training.
Everybody's nodding. Everybody's serious.
And that quiet guy in the back, you know,
the one that's taking a lot of notes.
Federal agent. Oh, and he's not alone, by the way.
At least 11 undercover agents got inside
groups just like this one, sitting in meetings,
joining the trainings, listening. Behind them
were 119 Homeland Security Investigation agents.
Oh, these weren't rookies, guys. These are the
people who take down the cartels, organized crime,
human trafficking, financial fraud,
all that stuff. The operations had names straight out of a spy movie.
Project Whipple Shield,
The old Operation Puppet Master.
I really don't know how they come up with this stuff.
Anyway, the target?
Networks accused of assaulting, stalking,
doxing, and intimidating ICE officers.
They thought that they were planning the resistance.
They were actually planning it right in front of the feds.
Two women are in jail in Santa Ana.
Federal immigration agents accused them
of following them after an enforcement operation.
Today, supporters gathered to call for their release
and question police participation
with federal agents in Orange County's only sanctuary city.
NBC4's Amber Frias was there and right now has details of their arrest.
A social media video showing two women being arrested
by Santa Ana police Wednesday.
The women who monitor ICE enforcement activity
for the group Lucha Orange
were arrested after federal agents accused them of stalking.
El Pueblo Unido Namaste!
Today, family members,
supporters and three of the city's six council members spoke out
against the arrest of 25-year-old Madison Crable
and 33-year-old Adeline Tonoko.
Santa Ana police say the arrest followed
a call from two ICE agents on Wednesday who
reported they were being followed.
The department says the agents told them they had just completed
an immigration operation in La Habra
when they noticed a car following them.
Police say the car followed the agents
to the Federal Immigration Building in Santa Ana
and continued following them when they left to head home.
The agents then contacted Santa Ana police,
telling officers they feared for their safety
and that the women at times attempted to block them.
Police directed the agents to drive to the Santa Ana Police Department,
where officers arrested Crable and Tonoko.
Crable's father disputes the allegations against his daughter.
We have always tried to teach our children right from wrong,
and I've never been prouder of my daughter standing
for her constitutional rights for all of us.
Both Crable and Tonoko were arrested for resisting and delaying
or obstructing a peace officer, stalking, and criminal conspiracy.
Now, real quick guys, you already know that one relative
who keeps on saying Trump isn't
doing anything.
Go ahead and send him this video right now before Thanksgiving dinner.
You're welcome.
Pass the stuffing.
Picture a group chat, folks.
Not the family one where Aunt Linda sends blurry sunset photos.
This one's encrypted.
Signal.
Locked.
Tight.
The digital version of a bank vault.
Inside?
Activists talking big.
Talking that big, tough game.
Saying it with their chests.
Plans. Locations. Who's going where?
Oh, they felt safe. Untouchable. Very brave behind a
keyboard. Then click.
Federal investigators reportedly pulled about 15 terabytes of
messages and digital evidence. 15 terabytes, guys.
How much is that? Now, picture more than
100 phones. Filled to the brim. Every text.
Every photo. Every let's go block the ICE van.
Lol. That's not a leak, guys. This is Niagara Falls.
And somewhere in Minneapolis,
a guy with the screen name Resistance Falcon, he's scrolling
his old messages and he's rethinking every
life choice he's ever made since 2020.
Encrypted?
Sure, buddy.
How'd that work out for you?
Now, I want you to picture the Twin Cities at night.
Quiet streets, snow on the cars, and way up high.
A grey Reaper drone, unarmed, military grade, circling, quiet, silent.
The Trump administration
sent a Reaper drone to Minneapolis to watch anti-ICE activity.
Out of every place on Earth,
they flew this drone over Minnesota in the winter.
This is commitment, guys. I mean look,
the left calls it terrifying, I call it customer service.
And it wasn't just Minnesota, Governor
Governor Tim Walz's backyard, picture a map, right?
Washington lights up, then Michigan, Illinois, New York.
Now picture something else. An ICE
officer's wife looks out the window, same car,
same spot, every morning. Investigators were
looking into systems allegedly used to find and follow officers' home.
These officers have kids,
soccer practice, mortgages.
So when Wired asks why there's a drone up there, that's why.
Now, picture a parking lot outside of one of these meetings.
Rows of Subarus, co-exist
bumper stickers, and across the street, a camera.
Click, click, click. Every license
plate logged. Then investigators followed the money.
Wire transfers, PayPal reimbursements.
Let that sink in, guys. Somebody ran a resistance
and then filed for reimbursement. It's like
a business trip. Gas to the protest, $40.
Bullhorn, $29.99. Please process by Friday.
Writing off these as business expenses.
Then, March 31, 2026, the Treasury Department got a
request using a Patriot Act-era counterterrorism tool.
Financial records, 29 people, the Patriot
Act folks. For the peaceful protesters, huh.
Investigators combined IP addresses, website
visits, payment records, and car registration.
Snap, snap, snap. Just like a jigsaw puzzle.
Until the faces appeared.
Plain English?
Getting in the way of federal officers is a federal crime, not a hobby.
Picture a federal courthouse in Minnesota,
marble steps, heavy doors, stack of papers
hits the desk, thud.
Fifteen Minnesota residents, federal conspiracy charges,
accused of working together to obstruct
immigration operations,
illegally identifying and stalking federal officers, assaulting
law enforcement.
Think about this guys, this was not some bake sale
with some strong opinions.
12 of the 15 suspects are accused of having ties
to the group Direct Action Minnesota,
and they made their first appearance in court this afternoon.
Two are still at large, and one was already
in custody on other federal charges.
Investigators say the alleged acts were designed to create chaos,
disrupt operations, and threaten officer and community safety.
All 15 are charged with conspiracy to impede
or injure a federal officer,
but some do face additional charges, which you see here on your screen.
We have team coverage tonight,
beginning with Heidi Wigdahl breaking down the indictments.
Heidi?
Lauren and Kevin, this morning reports started coming out,
including from Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez,
saying federal agents had been seen across the city arresting people.
We're told all 15 defendants are from the Twin Cities.
Fifteen Minnesotans face federal charges of conspiracy to impede
or injure a federal officer.
These defendants have been charged
not for what they said, but for what they did.
They all joined an agreement, a conspiracy.
To interfere with lawful immigration enforcement operations.
U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen claims the defendants are members
and associates of Direct Action
Minnesota. In the 94-page indictment,
a majority of it includes correspondence between defendants
through Signal or on social media.
It also details setting up blockades around the Whipple
building, a defendant following an agent
from the Whipple building to their home in Hudson,
And people throwing blocks of ice at agents' vehicles,
although it does not name someone specifically in that incident.
Some defendants are facing multiple charges,
including Kyle Wagner, who was arrested back in February.
There's nothing fun to chant about it.
Get your f***ing guns and stop these s***.
Rosen would not answer any questions
on if any federal agents had been injured in these incidents.
We just cannot have in this country all people getting together,
engaging in all of these violent acts,
and then simply saying, well, you know,
nobody got hurt, so how bad could it have been?
But protesters outside the U.S. Attorney's Office say
the charges are furthering a false narrative.
Dan Tricoli with the Minneapolis Federation
of Educators says his friend, a teacher, was charged.
We were all like...
Defending our schools, making sure our students show up there,
and terrorizing our students.
Bruce Nestor was the attorney for a previous round
of federal charges related to Operation Metro Surge
against different defendants back in January.
We had judges that at least stood up to the false charges.
Over half of those charges have already been dismissed outright.
They were based on lies.
They were based on false information.
When Rosen was asked why this case is different...
You watch how this case plays out,
you watch how the evidence plays out,
and the evidence will prove it all out.
Now, I do want to remind you,
everybody's innocent until proven guilty, sure, but a
few months ago, these same folks were in a group,
in some group chat, feeling like, you
know, secret agents.
Now they're sitting by their phone waiting
for a lawyer to call back, from a group chat
to a federal court.
So, who could have seen that coming?
Oh, right, the undercover agents did.
They saw it coming. They brought snacks.
And to everybody who said that Trump wouldn't follow
through, 15 names on paper. Somebody please call the jail.
They're going to need more room.
Now, I do want to slow down just for a second
because I want you to picture a college campus,
a tent, a microphone, a young man who just wanted to talk,
to debate, to argue with anyone who's
willing to step up. Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Rest in peace, Charlie. Something changed that day.
Not long after, President Donald Trump signed
National Security Presidential Memorandum 7.
This is NSPM 7. Big name, simple idea.
Politically motivated violence, organized intimidation,
threats against law enforcement,
all of it investigated as the serious national threat
that it is. This is not a protest, not mostly peaceful,
not a conversation we need to have
a threat. Critics called it government overreach. Overreach?
After a man was killed for talking,
that's a pretty freaking bold take, guys.
The line was crossed, so the government
drew a new one in permanent marker.
Lastly, sir, this is a presidential memorandum
on countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence.
In recent weeks, months, and years,
we've seen a tremendous upsurge in some highly visible,
but also other acts of domestic terrorism
and organized political violence.
being perpetrated by radical politically
motivated groups all over the country.
What this presidential memorandum will do is set off
an administration-wide response to that,
ranging from the Joint Terrorism Task Forces
to other components of the Department of Justice,
to the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Treasury.
We're looking at interdicting these groups,
preventing them from performing acts of violence,
and also looking at sources of organization and funding and support
that prop them up and allow them
to do the acts that they have been doing.
We're looking at the funders of a lot of these groups.
You know, when you see the signs
and they're all beautiful signs made professionally,
these aren't your protesters that make
the sign in their basement late in the evening
because they really believe it.
These are anarchists and agitators, professional
anarchists and agitators.
And they get hired by wealthy people, some of whom I know, I guess,
you know, probably know them.
And you wouldn't know it at dinner with them. Everything's nice.
And then you find out that they funded millions
of dollars to these lunatics.
Steve, could you say a couple of words about that?
Yes, Mr. President. This is a very historic and significant day.
This is the first time in American history
that there is an all-government effort
to dismantle left-wing terrorism,
to dismantle Antifa, to dismantle the organizations
that have been carrying out these acts
of political violence and terrorism.
What we have seen, if you look at whether it be going back to the riots
that started with Black Lives Matter
and all the way through to the Antifa riots,
The attacks on ICE officers, the doxing campaigns,
and now the political assassinations,
these are not lone, isolated events.
This is part of an organized campaign of radical left terrorism.
It is structured, it is sophisticated,
it is well-funded, it is well-planned.
There is really no parallel like
this to anything else in the country right now.
There is an entire system of feeder organizations that provide money,
resources, weapons.
And when they're attacking ICE officers,
they're attacking federal buildings,
where they're isolating public officials for harassment,
doxing, intimidation, and ultimately
attempted assassination, it is all carefully planned,
executed, and thought through.
It is terrorism on our soil.
Because of this executive order, Cash and Pam
are going to have the tools they need, working with Scott,
to take these organizations apart piece by piece.
And the central hub of that effort
is going to be the Joint Terrorism Task Force, or JTTF,
Which sits inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
but for those at home who are worried about terrorism in this country,
they need to understand because of President Trump's strength,
because of his vision, because of his leadership,
we are now going to use the entire force of the federal government
to uproot these organizations root and branch.
And again, that's only possible because
of President Trump and his leadership.
Thank you. Steve Cash, please.
Yes, as Stephen was saying, Mr. President,
thanks to your leadership, crime is going
downward in a tremendous fashion,
and that's what we want for every city in America.
And the FBI's premier flagship enterprise,
the Joint Terrorism Task Force, are honored
to lead this initiative with our partners
at Treasury and Homeland Security.
Because our citizens are being attacked by,
as Stephen said, organized violence.
And it's being paid for, not by them, by other people.
So what we are going to do, combining forces as Scott
and I have done in these last few months, is follow the money.
People and organizations have collected funds and put them out
into the streets of America and organized violence across our country.
And thanks to your recognition of this and this executive order
and the AG's leadership to lead out and prosecute these individuals,
we are properly going to chase them down.
Like the domestic terrorists that they are,
and our streets and our communities are going to be safer
because the JTTF and the FBI and Treasury and DHS
and DOJ are going to combine forces like never before
to root out this new evil that is perpetrating
our criminal activities across our societies.
And we are just so thankful for your leadership and recognition of it.
It's not easy to do.
Good job.
Thank you very much.
Who specifically do you want to target?
What?
Besides Antifa, is there a specific group
or person you're targeting in this?
Any organized group, any organized group who is committing these,
who are committing these crimes
and we're working with the Secretary of Treasury. You know what
law enforcement has told us under President Trump's leadership?
He's taken the handcuffs off law enforcement.
They can do their jobs now, thanks to you,
President Trump, and that's what's happening.
And all of these agencies that Cash mentioned,
we work hand-in-hand together.
Our prosecutors, we're following the money with Treasury.
We're working with Homeland Security.
Cash's agents, all of our agents, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, combined,
are working and with state
and local government to take these people off the streets.
Now, you might be sitting there asking, wait,
didn't Trump label Antifa a terrorist organization?
So why isn't everybody in handcuffs already?
Well, I would say that's a pretty good question.
Now here's your answer.
You can't arrest a hashtag.
Antifa doesn't have a headquarters.
There's no CEO.
There's no membership card with a little laminated photo.
It's basically a loose web of people in black hoodies
who all swear up and down that they've never met each other.
There's no Antifa Inc. to raid. There's no front desk.
There's no secretary. There's no
receptionist named Brenda.
So you go person by person, name by name, chat by chat. You build
cases so tight that no lawyer can wiggle their way out.
Picture it. Months of quiet files,
mountains of messages, then 15 people charged in one shot.
Being patient isn't the same as
being weak. It's called doing it right.
And it's not over, guys. I promise you that.
Quick history lesson, okay? Don't worry, there's no quiz.
Picture the Obama years. Anybody
remember those? You know,
his administration deported around 3 million people, so many that
some activists actually called Obama the deporter-in-chief.
Oh, and the man that's running
ISIS deportations operations back then?
Tom Homan. That's right. Obama even gave him a
presidential award. Big ol' shiny award, by the way.
Did Wired call that fascism? Any spooky
Crikey drone headlines?
None.
Polite applause.
Crickets?
It's the same agency.
Police?
None.
Same laws.
Science?
Different guy.
None.
Different president.
ни싹적인기사, 못여기서말할것.
Suddenly, it's a dictatorship.
Prostitution?
Funny how that works, right?
None.
Now, here's what nobody on the left wants to say out loud.
Crickets?
None.
Los Angeles Police?
It's Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
None.
No.
No.
The E isn't for eh, maybe.
Crickets?
None.
No.
Crickets?
It's not for excuses.
None.
It's for enforcement.
Crickets?
These are laws that Congress wrote.
None.
Crickets?
Democrats included.
None.
Plenty of them voted yes.
Crickets?
ICE is just reading the instructions out loud in order.
None.
No.
Crickets?
Now picture Minnesota's state capitol.
Big white dome.
On one side, federal agents enforcing federal law.
On the other, sanctuary policies in Minneapolis
and St. Paul that limit how local police help ICE.
And running the state at the center of it all,
you have Governor Tim Walz.
Now, right next door in Wisconsin, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan. A jury
convicted her of obstruction after she let a man out a side door
while ICE agents waited in the
hallway. This was a judge, guys. A side door.
Kind of like a bad heist movie. So here's the question.
If one judge can be held accountable for helping one man,
what about officials whose policies shield thousands?
And should sanctuary cities keep
cashing federal checks while ignoring federal law?
This is like breaking every house rule and
still asking dad for the car keys. Just asking.
Now, you guys remember the burning streets,
blocked ice vans, no kings, crowds filling whole avenues?
Now, picture today,
A Friday afternoon, days before the midterms,
the exact week that they normally all go out.
An empty street, a pigeon, a plastic bag drifting by.
Silence. Where'd everybody go? Did they all
just take up knitting? Here's my take, guys.
USAID got shut down, foreign money flowing into
activist groups got cut off, and a lot of the ringleaders charged.
No money, no leaders,
no movement. Turns out the resistance runs on donations
and one guy with a clipboard.
Take away the clipboard, so...
To every podcaster and influencer saying Trump isn't doing anything,
he was. The whole time.
Quietly. Judging by results. The results are an empty street.
So look guys, how do we know how hard President Trump is cracking down?
Wired just told us. Not Fox News.
Not the evening news. A left-wing tech magazine.
They spent months building a case against Trump
and accidentally wrote his best campaign ad ever.
So Wired, I just want to say I appreciate you.
Seriously.
Send us your address.
We'll mail you a fruit basket.
Now, one question, though.
Undercover agents in the room, 15 terabytes,
Reaper drones over Minneapolis, 15 people
charged.
Is this what you voted for?
Yeah, me too.
If it is, type, I voted for this in the comments,
let's see how many of us there are.
Then hit the like button on the way out,
midterms are Tuesday, make a plan guys, God protect
the men and women who enforce our laws, and God bless America.
