This group is a VERY good follow. https://bsky.app/profile/pacantifa.is

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

They are also hiring convicted sex abusers. JFC!

A thread of ICE and CBP sex offenders and credibly accused sex pasts. Content-warning descriptions of abuse

Yuma Sector CBP agent Ramon Marquez, 31, was arrested in May 2025 and has been charged with 15 felonies including 14 counts of sexual conduct with a 16-year-old between Dec 2024 and Apr 2025.

1. They're not sending their best...

Nothing more dangerous than a stupid man with a gun.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Most of them are illiterate

No joke.

[EdmondDantes_]

13. Given Trump, he might define these sort of crimes as best

[charliea]

45. Maybe so...

But maybe we don't recognize that the "best" they're shooting for is epitomized by this man's unique qualifications...

[RVN VET71]

51. That's the problem,

they are sending their best.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. They didn't leave it on a bus; they got chased out of a neighborhood and abandoned a couple vehicles. These were in the

vehicles.

[jmbar2]

7. Thank you --corrected...

I saw several versions...

[iemanja]

50. Do you know which neighborhood?

[Tanuki]

4. Reminds me of when Union troops found the Confederate battle plan for Antietam

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/september-13/union-troops-discover-rebels-antietam-battle-plan

"Union soldiers find a copy of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s orders detailing the Confederates’ plan for the Antietam campaign near Frederick, Maryland. But Union General George B. McClellan was slow to act, and the advantage the intelligence provided was lost.

On the morning of September 13, the 27th Indiana rested in a meadow outside of Frederick, Maryland, which had served as the site of a Confederate camp a few days before. Sergeant John Bloss and Corporal Barton W. Mitchell found a piece of paper wrapped around three cigars. The paper was addressed to Confederate General D.H. Hill. Its title read, “Special Order No. 191, Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia.” Realizing that they had discovered a copy of the Confederate operation plan, Bloss and Mitchell quickly passed it up the chain of command. By chance, the division adjutant general, Samuel Pittman, recognized the handwriting on the orders as that of a colleague from the prewar army, Robert Chilton, who was the adjutant general to Robert E. Lee.

Pittman took the order to McClellan. The Union commander had spent the previous week mystified by Lee’s operations, but now the Confederate plan was clear. He reportedly gloated, “Here is a paper with which if I cannot whip Bobbie Lee, I will be willing to go home.” McClellan now knew that Lee’s forces were split into five parts and scattered over a 30-mile stretch, with the Potomac River in between. At least eight miles separated each piece of Lee’s army, and McClellan was just a dozen miles from the nearest Confederate unit at South Mountain. Bruce Catton, the noted Civil War historian, observed that no general in the war “was ever given so fair a chance to destroy the opposing army one piece at a time.”

Yet McClellan squandered the opportunity. His initial jubilation was overtaken by his caution. He believed that Lee possessed a far greater number of troops than the Confederates actually had, despite the fact that the Maryland invasion resulted in a high rate of desertion among the Southerners. McClellan was also excruciatingly slow to respond to the information in the so-called Lost Order. He took 18 hours to set his army in motion, marching toward Turner’s Gap and Crampton’s Gap in South Mountain, a 50-mile long ridge that was part of the Blue Ridge Mountains.'... (more)

33. McClelland was the merit Garland of Union generals.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. These clowns have almost zero training

They are not law enforcement professionals, they're the worst of the worst among us. Racists, Klan Members, criminals. They don't know the law and they aren't trained at all for most of what they are now doing. The fact tens of thousands of them are out there with guns is horrifying and it's just a matter of time before the mass killings start.

[underpants]

12. if you're already LEO you only need online specific ICE training

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20940129


The AI tool used by ICE was tasked with looking for potential applicants with law enforcement experience to be placed into the agency’s “LEO program” — short for law enforcement officer — for new recruits who are already law enforcement officers. It requires four weeks of online training.

Applicants without law enforcement backgrounds are required to take an eight-week in-person course at ICE’s academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia, which includes courses in immigration law and handling a gun, as well as physical fitness tests.

[EdmondDantes_]

15. Except the idiots didn't double check

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/ice-error-meant-recruits-sent-field-offices-proper-training-sources-sa-rcna254054

It sent anyone with "officer" in their resume to the online training. So if you were a compliance officer or you were an aspiring ICE officer, you got funneled to the online training.

This is like when biodiversity research got cancelled because it contained diversity and DOGE was stupid.

[underpants]

19. Hired by ICE. 6 minute conversation. No background check. No drug test.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1321&pid=64457

[Zelda_Orchid]

25. 8 weeks?!?!

I got more training as an asst manager at Wendy's.

[flashman13]

31. Your last sentence is spot on. It is horrifying!

[MadameButterfly]

6. Boxes of license plates?!?

[Volaris]

8. Yeah, yaknow...for when the illegally change them so ACTUAL LEOs cant find them.

[KS Toronado]

39. Knowing that they change their plates often

should give local Law Enforcement good reason to check on them often. When they find one that doesn't
add up, take them to jail for a few days while you check out if the vehicle or tag was stolen.
And fine the shit out of them!

[Be Leave On]

54. Local police

Local police probably have access to license plate reader data, and "new" license plates should be fairly easy to discover in that data. So should plates that have been switched between vehicles.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

9. Lol..people are calling them..asking how they can live with themselves doing stank ass ass job

[mysteryowl]

14. We have their personal phone numbers? Nice.

We can call and ask what they are up to each day.

[ashredux]

10. ICE PROUD BOYS

[GiqueCee]

11. Legend has it...

... that ranchers refer to a gelding that thinks he still has his balls as a "Proud Boy". May be apocryphal, but it sure fits.

[OldBaldy1701E]

23. That is correct.

In fact, I have known a few veterinarians who said that in reference to any male animal who had been neutered and yet was trying to act like he was a stud.

Also, let us not forget how 'proud' they are about themselves and their name.

Oh yeah...

[Grokenstein]

29. It's "teabaggers" all over again.

[70sEraVet]

16. I can't find ANY info about ICE agents leaving behind items described in OP

Would like to believe it, but until I see it in a reliable news source......

[ancianita]

18. Here's what DeepMind (the most wide ranging AI in existence) has found

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_DeepMind (No quotes for AI here, since there's no style manual on copied AI material)

Yes, ICE agents abandoned several vehicles in a Minneapolis neighborhood, and demonstrators who accessed the vehicles found documents, license plates, operational plans, and tactical gear inside.

This event occurred on or around January 15, 2026, amid heightened tensions and ongoing protests in Minneapolis following a fatal shooting by an ICE agent a week earlier. The agents reportedly left the vehicles after being "chased out" or swarmed by demonstrators, as reported by local accounts and shared in live-streamed footage online.

The items reportedly found in the abandoned vehicles included:
Identity cards
Paperwork
License plates (agents have reportedly been switching license plates to avoid detection)
Operational plans
Tactical gear
"Challenge coins"

Minneapolis police have noted that the surge in ICE activity has led to numerous 911 calls reporting abandoned cars blocking traffic, sometimes with pets inside, due to agents pulling people over and leaving their vehicles in the roadway. Local and state officials in Minnesota have accused the federal agents of violating state law by improperly using and swapping license plates.

--------------------------
This will be more evidence to bolster the lawsuit MN and Minneapolis filed against DHS, ICE, CBP. (link to the filing embedded in this link)

[70sEraVet]

22. I confess that I am completely in the dark about AI

But why is this so noncommittal about details (in a Minneapolis neighborhood ; on or around January 15 ; as reported by local accounts and shared in live-streamed footage online)?

[ancianita]

24. I hear you.

Here's the thing about "noncommittal." Probably AI can't post any of that online because the local accounts and shared live-streamed footage are in local police hands, and so those might be evidence, and so they can't be posted online when a DA might be in possession of sworn statements by locals and the footage itself. AI doesn't scrape from phones, as far as I can tell after reading around eleven books on AI, and one particularly about DeepMind AI. I'm pretty sure that footage has to be posted online by the owner first, then AI can find it.

It can also explain why local and national news media might not have access to what the DA has, either. Why? Because the DA's aware that there's a major state and cities lawsuit in progress in the district court.

[dixiegrrrrl]

52. Challenge coins????

What are those?

[popsdenver]

42. AND

should it be considered that they may have actually staged the situation, having planted the info, to fool someone????????

[MichMan]

17. Also stole a box of weapons and ammunition

What happens when ICE agents get shot and killed with their own weapons?

[dpibel]

32. Because that's the protesters' style, ammirite?

Out there shooting and killing every day, those protesters, aren't they?

But a fella has to keep the dream alive, I guess.

[Prairie Gates]

36. Some folks always find a way to support the regime

[Radical Lutheran]

20. Watching these Lawless ICE goons terrorize people... I was compelled to prayer... Let me share a vision.

Watching these Lawless ICE goons terrorize people... I was compelled to prayer... Let me share a vision.

Let EVERY HOUSE ON EVERY BLOCK set up their garden hoses in the Freezing Weather

LET EVERY HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WATER OUT OVER THE STREET IN THE FREEZING WEATHER.

LET EVERY HOUSEHOLD SCREAM "REMEMBER YOUR BAPTISM" as the water from every house yard cascades onto the ICE

Reminding the ICE AGENTS of their Baptism is a RELIGIOUS PRACTICE. IT IS NON VIOLENT. IT IS PEACEFUL.
But what might happen in the freezing weather to all that water cascading upon them.

Remember we have a Constitutional Right to Free Expression and RELIGIOUS PRACTICE.

IF EVERY HOUSEHOLD PARTICIPATES, on every block across the City of Minneapolis.
It is NOT trying to overthrow the Government. It is a reminder "That God Loves THEM and Their Neighbors"

It might bring a PAUSE to reflect upon what they are doing. If nothing else it gives ICE, an ICCEY RECEPTION.

RADICAL LUTHERAN

[jmbar2]

21. Brilliant!

[sboatcar]

34. I love it, but we also need to drive and walk in our neighborhoods.

They're already falling down in the ice that's already there enough.

[sarisataka]

46. You obviously don't live in Minnesota

First garden hoses are either stored for the winter or frozen solid

Second is more than ICE uses the roads, the people who live here must drive on them as well.

[FakeNoose]

26. SCREENSHOTS of images - for sharing

These are from the OP link on BlueSky ...













They've already doxxed this guy by the hotel invoice. Gives his name, address and photo.

[Dave Bowman]

27. Just a bunch of illiterate lowlife tugs.

[Martin68]

28. If you hire violent morons then that's what you get.

[leftstreet]

30. "Challenge coins." Like gamer badges? OMG n/t

[B.See]

37. yeah... that one floored me. what? can they

get something in exchange for them? (dare I imagine what?)

[EarthFirst]

47. They're commonly bestowed by superiors to enlisted personnel in the military...

…for exemplary performance in a task.

Which makes sense that they’d co-opt this feature as they’re out cosplaying GI Joe…

However they’re all too lazy to enlist; and too stupid to qualify as legitimate LEO’s.

[MichMan]

35. Be a shame if the cartels got ahold of the documents somehow

[AZProgressive]

48. Do you think ICE is actually policing the cartels?

It seems like all their resources are being used to target undocumented workers I'm sure the cartels like that federal law enforcement resources are being used on low level stuff or more likely doing federal paramilitary occupations of blue states.

[MichMan]

49. The cartels are owed a lot of $$$ by immigrants who used them to enter the country

If they get deported, they can't pay.

[Figarosmom]

38. Turn it all over to the Mayor or

Keith Ellison. It's evidence of a conspiracy for the downfall of Minnesota. It likely has the location of Ross too.

And I will bet it tells them to remove any evidence when there is a shooting or trouble.

[C Moon]

40. That first guy looks like the one who pepper sprayed himself.

First I thought it was a lady, but that uniform pic looks like it was him.

[C Moon]

41. Friggin crazy! I had to look up CBP - Customs and Border Patrol for anyone else who didn't know.

[ShazzieB]

43. When I read the title of this post, I laughed. Out loud. Literslly.

It's so funny when poorly trained, authoritarian thugs pull such a monumental self own. Way to go ICEholes!

[BidenRocks]

44. That fat fuck at Present Arms

looks Constipated!

[The Roux Comes First]

53. I Certainly Hope this Information Can Be Well-exploited. Obviously, Despite Our Superior Numbers

And the High Ground, we are not going to grovel in the muck with the swamp-creatures willing to play footsie with a convicted felon. But this is a great opportunity to turn the tables on many of these sniveling incels.
