FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that he had opened an investigation into the Signal group text chats that Minnesota residents are using to share information about federal immigration agents’ movements, launching a new front in the Trump administration’s conflict there with potential free speech implications.
Patel said in an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he wanted to know whether any Minnesota residents had put federal agents “in harm’s way” with activities such as sharing agents’ license plate numbers and locations.
Right now, there are 2 dead people in Minnesota and 7 dead people in ICE captive.
I don’t give a fuck about federal agents when they are leaving a trail of bodies.
None of these actions by citizens are illegal. Way to waste tax payer money. So glad the swamp got drained and we’re great again!
that’s exactly the kind of bullshit I’d expect a fascist lapdog to say.
They all use ALPR cameras to track us all day, fuck 'em.
Bitch shouldn’t you worry about the excessive use of force ICE is using? Stop wasting our time and money and investigate the murders and executions that are occurring.
Scared eye looking motherfucker.
Good luck trying to decrypt the texts
They’re hoping to be add to the chat by error
I see. Hopefully the group catches news of this
Its already been infiltrated. Been having people harassing us all week. Some bootlicker on Twitter found the names of all the dispatchers in one of the rapid reaponse groups and submitted it to the FBI.
Fuck that shit
Signal is secure. The issue here is this was a public group chat that some assholes joined.
Then they better start anti canary trap flushes.
Don’t need to decrypt anything if someone gets caught with an easy phone unlock or flips. End to end means end to end. With the size of some of the groups and potential to infiltrate, I would assume that the comms are already compromised to one degree or another. If you get one of the ends, encryption means nothing. I bet kash’s FBI just doesn’t know who has it yet.
True. And your last point is notable. This leadership is ruthless but dumb as fuck.
The metadata alone can give them plenty
Metadata is encrypted on signal
You’re probably thinking of things like in-app metadata like message timestamps or internal signal protocol stuff or something… But that’s not what I’m referring to.
For example, Signal and whatsapp can leak device and app activity (which can be surprisingly serious given most mobile AFU vulnerabilities)
And as an example by comparison: Session et al have better anonymity and transit-metadata obfuscation
To further explain what i mean: the Katzenpost network is being developed with post-quantum encryption and puts strong emphasis on metadata security… The latter is a significantly more challenging problem than just sending encrypted packets.
WTAF? Why is it assumed by this dickhead that agents get to operate in complete anonymity and secrecy?
While these “agents” are creating a database of people they are improperly labeling “terrorists”?
We pay for these assholes. We should know who the fuck they are.
Cry more asshole.
Incompetent fascist fuckwit
Gonna run to every corner of the globe on this one. VPN’s can be a real MF’er sometimes 🤣
Any evidence of any of these goons actually being harmed, mate? I’m thinking it’s more likely they’re using the information so their targets can avoid them.
A cop is a cop after all, and we all know what all cops are.
Good reason to use session and not signal.
Edit: unless you like having the feds id you by your phone number
