ICE is infiltrating the aid groups in Minnesota, disguising themselves as Midwesterners.

If its anything like cops undercover at festivals and concerts it will be pretty easy to figure out who is who.

Also just look for the guy still wearing the mask.

Or, casually joke about committing domestic abuse on your spouse and if the person heartily laughs they are likely a cop or ICE agent.

These are washed out cops though. They could not make it on a regular police force.

Right. Mock people with AI girlfriends and watch who looks sad or gets defensive.

Organize a potluck and ask the guy with tacticool boots to bring a salad.

If it has vegetables, it’s a cop.

Now this is the way to root them out. Pasta salad or bust here in Minnesota

Ask them to bring a casserole. If they don't correct you, they're an outsider.

If your local aid group does not know about OPSEC and compartmentalization, it's probably time to form a new aid group.

Bet they learned that from Israel

Just ask what they want to drink. I’m sure most of these “agents” are from the south and will knee jerk “sweet tea” or “coke”.

There are plenty of backwoods racist yokels in the Midwest, it's probably like 90% of the yokels.

Not even. They're all locals.
