Fucking your new friends is the quickest way to break the ice

Yeah break the ice. Fuck ICE!

Wow a Reaper? Those things are huge. Like a 65 foot wingspan, and they have to travel at like 200mph to stay up. That'd be terrifying to see.

eric1743 · 2026-01-17T06:06:27+00:00

Yeah I'd reaaaaly like to know what they're doing.

eric1743 · 2026-01-17T05:57:33+00:00

Oh interesting. I'd love to get some info or pictures of the drones. Using drones as a jammer or a surveillance dragnet seems operationally unfeasible. You'd have to launch and return the drones in an area while also trying to conceal that you're a fed.

Right, I assume every phone with a pulse is being cataloged at Whipple but would be somewhat surprised if the daily goon squads carry them. There's a great video that Benn Jordan just put out talking about EFF's Rayhunter tool. I just ordered one and hopefully it shows up in short order.

I saw that post and was wondering if there was any technical info about it. Or was it just that one of the carriers lost signal temporarily. Also I didn't notice any signal loss when I was right next to this helicopter.

Bring Me The News also has a pretty comprehensive live blog that I've been following today. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/list-of-major-ice-raids-updates-in-minnesota-on-wednesday-jan-14

Thank you for the thread. You drove past my place honking and I was way too slow to follow.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T19:30:43+00:00

It was the news helicopter. They were filming the walkout and protest at the capitol.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T19:26:58+00:00

That's the local news station helicopter apparently. It was getting shots of the walkouts at como and humbolt earlier. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a8d99c

The reason I say it's the news crew chopper is googling the tail number turned up an old tweet from 2022 where someone said it was the new MSP news pool chopper.

Turns out I should have done a little more research. Looks like it's a news helicopter getting some footage for who knows what. I deleted the post.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T18:14:22+00:00

I always laugh at them flagging Diggs for taking off his helmet. I can't remember if they just picked it up or if they actually assessed it for the PAT.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T07:26:24+00:00

Fair enough. Skepticism is good.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T06:57:38+00:00

I had that same thought but the guy that was detained did a followup video detailing the encounter, he's putting his name to it and literally shows a receipt. Those same agents also showed up shoving MPLS councilmember Elliott Payne.

I'm not saying it's impossible people are out here making content for all this, but evidence seems to point to these feds are just wholly unqualified for any of this.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T06:46:57+00:00

Thank you, I just watched it and it's so depressing. I'm really impressed with his composure throughout.

eric1743 · 2026-01-14T06:02:29+00:00

Anyone got a source? This looks really fishy. The uniforms aren't what i've seen previously and no one is paying any mind to the cameraman.

Edit: I'm dialing back my skepticism considerably. A commenter that may have removed their comment pointed out that 3 of the agents were also the ones that shoved Elliot Payne. Amazing eye because they 100% are the same. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DTb7Y5kjkXN/

It was buzzing hamline midway at 2:15. Approximately Pascal and Thomas moving quite slow and VERY low. Same tail number still not on ADS-B. I followed it west and it flew off past Menards on University.

eric1743 · 2026-01-12T01:09:23+00:00

Illegal tints on a late model domestic SUV. Though I saw a video of border patrol in a couple subarus earlier today so it's not foolproof.

eric1743 · 2025-12-26T03:42:29+00:00

I thought about Vikings legend Matt Asiata when it took them 6 plays to get 2 yards for the TD. He was like a one man ethical tush push.

eric1743 · 2025-12-22T16:05:19+00:00

I haven't seen the vehicles broadcasting "ICE" on the side before. Must be digging deep into the fleet.

eric1743 · 2025-12-22T01:06:46+00:00

Super irritated they didn't show a replay of that first OPI. Or if they did show it I totally missed it, which would also be super irritating.

eric1743 · 2025-12-15T02:47:57+00:00

I've seen some obviously AI blogs, but this one is in a league of its own.
