新披露的法庭文件揭示，美国国土安全部对反ICE抗议者、主要工会和左翼倡导组织实施了大规模监控行动[1]。根据这些文件，卧底特工渗透了社区会议、加入私密Signal聊天群组，并对活动进行秘密录音[1]。在一次教堂体育馆举办的搏击会期间，卧底特工不慎丢弃了录音设备[1]。
国土安全部以"国内恐怖融资"调查的名义，获取了工会和非营利组织的财务记录[1]。Minneapolis社会正义非营利组织Unidos MN执行主任Emilia González Avalos表示："我认为这是试图恐吓我们、惩罚和政治镇压异议"[1]。
Newly disclosed court documents have exposed a broad surveillance operation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security targeting anti-ICE protesters, major labor unions, and left-wing advocacy organizations.[1] Undercover federal agents infiltrated community meetings, joined private Signal chat groups, and conducted secret recordings of activist activities.[1] The operation extended to financial records, with DHS obtaining banking information from unions and nonprofits under the guise of investigating "domestic terrorism financing."[1]
The surveillance tactics employed by the agency included a notable operational mishap: an undercover agent accidentally left a recording device behind during a boxing event held at a church gymnasium.[1] Activists have condemned the campaign as an attempt at political repression. Emilia González Avalos, executive director of Minneapolis-based social justice nonprofit Unidos MN, stated: "I think this is an attempt to intimidate us, to punish and to politically repress dissent."[1]
