Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

Great FOIA and investigative work shows the one thing the Trump administration is good at is ignoring what the intelligence community is actually saying & twisting the narrative.

The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings

The new FBI report is coming to light after we revealed last month that the FBI and NYPD have spied on a Signal group of NYC court watch activists who monitor public proceedings, labeling the volunteers “anarchist violent extremists."

From earlier records unearthed by @propertyofthepeople.org:

“At its core, the war on antifa is a war on dissent, a war on free speech” -@rshapiro.bsky.social @propertyofthepeople.org. The docs “strongly suggest one of the primary functions of NSPM-7 is to serve as a vehicle for targeting anti-ICE organizing broadly as an anarchist violent extremist threat"

Revealed: FBI opened domestic terrorism investigations into anti-ICE activity across US Internal report shared with Guardian shows FBI has launched cases in 23 regions, some linked to Trump memo on thwarting ‘terroristic activities’

An internal FBI report in Nov, distributed to other law enforcement agencies, said “indicators” an individual may be planning to attack ICE facilities or staff include “conducting online research” about agents’ movements + using encrypted messaging apps. @us.theguardian.com @propertyofthepeople.org

Georgia police chief charged with using license plate readers to stalk and harass people A police chief in suburban Atlanta has been arrested on charges of using the city's license plate cameras to stalk and harass people.

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.
