In reply to the discussion: LOL- ICE agents chased out of Minneapolis neighborhood, leave operations docs in abandoned vehicle. [View all]ancianita
(42,973 posts)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)
