It all kicked off with @camhigby, who had been undercover in multiple Signal chats used by anti-ICE groups for days (possibly longer). These chats were hubs for coordinating protests, sharing resources, and organizing against ICE operations in Minnesota. Cam was posing as an insider (one alias was “Betty” via @bitchuneedsoap's involvement), gaining trust and access to admin-level discussions.
As the evening progressed on Jan 25, Cam began downloading and leaking massive troves of data live on X.
This included:
• Member lists from vetting groups, revealing hundreds of participants (he dropped one fresh list with every single member, promising several hundred more).
• Chat logs showing panic among activists, like the infamous screenshot where users freak out: “SIGNAL IS NOT SECURE… Flan has been exposed. We’re all fucked. I need to leave this state.” And responses like “Should I leave too? Maybe best to get out of country… I have contacts in Cuba.” (Watermarked by Cam himself—iconic).
• Resource documents directing donors to sites like “Stand with Minnesota,” which funneled money through “Tending the Soil” on http://
Chuffed.org. This exposed potential foreign involvement, with the first donor being Jonny Soppotiuk, a Canadian community organizer in Chuffed’s leadership.
While Cam was pulling data, @0hour1 jumped in with OSINT magic, tracing communications to physical locations, identifying key players, and hunting down protest bases. Highlights from 0hour:
• Exposed how protesters mistakenly destroyed civilian cars thinking they were ICE vehicles.
• Called out Minneapolis police for abandoning officers and residents, leaving federal police to step in and protect property.
• Linked figures like Keith Ellison’s associate David Gottfried (who locked his account) to the chats.
• Urged President Trump to declare it an insurrection and take over Minneapolis, citing planned attacks on federal assets.
Then @DataRepublican tied it all together with deep analysis on funding and networks:
• Compiled a downloadable spreadsheet of 4,000+ donors with possible identities (link was shared: https://drive.proton.me/urls/6ZRM56093C#x7AQy4keb6Ow).
• Highlighted how churches like New Creation Lutheran in Shakopee coordinated food for activists, potentially laundering donations as “living expenses.”
• Connected dots to politicians, including suspicions around Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley (anti-ICE stance) and foreign coordinators offering shelter.
