A left-wing activist known only as “TJ” disclosed to the Salt Lake City Council her role in leading a significant “ICE Watch” initiative, an activist network aimed at monitoring federal immigration agents. This operation collects photographs, verifies tips, and disseminates real-time intelligence.
TJ’s admission was made calmly and without remorse.
According to her statements, she has managed this network for nearly a year, conducting what she describes as a civilian surveillance and intelligence operation focused on federal law enforcement officials enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
TJ:
“My name is TJ. I’m a resident of Salt Lake City. I am uniquely informed about ICE activity, as I’ve been running a virtual ICE Watch with over 20,000 local, mostly Latino, community members for 356 days now. It’s community-led. People send me photos and tips, and I verify the information.
Over the year, we’ve witnessed repeated disregard for both constitutional and human rights of hardworking, tax-paying, beloved community members—the majority of whom have no criminal record at all.
We’ve seen federalized agents lie repeatedly about incidents to try and drum up federal charges. We’ve seen them force random store customers to lie on the ground and hold them at gunpoint.
We’ve seen them kidnap a woman with legal status to get her husband to surrender in her place.
You won’t hear most of these stories because families are too afraid to share. And while most incidents happen on the West Side, even the ones within Salt Lake City violate people’s Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless, racially profiled stops and unreasonable searches.
They violate their Fifth Amendment right to due process, and they lead to detainment in deplorable, inhumane confinement conditions where people are cold, hungry, dirty, humiliated, disrespected, and worse.
I believe we’re being shielded from what’s happening in blue states like Minnesota by our blue-dot status within an otherwise red state. I understand you think you’re doing all you can, but there’s still more that Salt Lake City and SLCPD can do.
I’m running out of time, but I’ll be sending a follow-up memo tonight with specific actions you can take.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, who had “trained” to conduct “ICE Watch” and disrupt agency operations.
The Minnesota ICE Watch group that Renee Good was affiliated with has been criticized for distributing a “de-arrest primer” manual instructing members on how to physically obstruct law enforcement during arrests.
This guide, shared on their Instagram in June, describes every de-arrest as a “micro-intifada,” offering step-by-step tactics for confronting and assaulting officers.
Described as a “loose collective of agitators,” Minnesota ICE Watch documents and resists federal immigration enforcement, including ICE agents, operating under the banner of an “autonomous collective documenting & resisting against ICE, police, & all colonial militarized regimes,” as stated on their Instagram profile.
