ICE surveillance program targeting Minnesota activists revealed in court discovery
Defense attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy charges have obtained internal DHS/ICE records—reports, intercepted Signal chats, emails, photos and database queries—documenting investigations codenamed Project Whipple Shield and Operation Puppet Master. The operations were authorized under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, issued after Charlie Kirk's assassination, which directs federal agencies to use all available tools against critics of the administration and groups deemed 'anti-Christian.'
