#Minneapolis ALERT: #ICE trying to follow white people after grocery shopping, trying to follow them to hidden migrant families.

@LukefromDC Is there evidence that is how they are tracking people? Have any of the claims by this person been confirmed by reliable sources? Is this a widespread phenomena or a few isolated incidents?

Are they actually tracking phones, or are they just parking outside stores and physically following people?
The latter would be incredibly impractical, due to the number of grocery stores in the city and the massive number of people visiting them on a daily basis, so I highly doubt that is the case.
The post is inconsistent; the first part implies people are being followed, but the second implies ICE is somehow using GPS apps. Which apps? The OOP doesn't say.

There are many ways to track a phone; I think its far more likely they would just buy the data from data brokers or get it from phone providers, two practices law enforcement is known to use (based on my memory; I can find a citation if you want)
As such, just not using GPS apps provides a false sense of security.

I remain very skeptical of the vague claims made by a random X user. I also can't find the original post on the X account allenanalysis.

@LukefromDC So phone manufacturers provide tracking history to ice now?
That means that both Apple and Google disclose all the location history of people?

Neighborhood groups asking people NOT to enter addresses into navigation apps, which can be monitored by ICE or simply read from a phone captured whle not locked.

@nickapos @LukefromDC OFC, they always did!

• What else did you expect from #PRISM collaborators and corporations subject to #CloudAct?
  • You don't even pay them [enough] to risk jailtime!

The #USA is a #cyberfascist hellhole!!!

@sleepingexplorer @LukefromDC It's a database rather than an application. But the data is widely used by offline navigators like Comaps.

But honestly, if you are involved in this sort of activity you owe it to those you are assisting to memorise such information.

@iampytest1 Someone else on the ground reports this has been going on a couple weeks. My GUESS is they wait at grocery stores for specifc cars to appear

@nickapos @LukefromDC now?! Phone companies have been licking the federal boots pretty much since inception. It’s not even a conspiracy, they’re open about it.

@kkarhan If I could get myself and family out of this dystopian hell hole Id be on the first whatever outta here...

@kusuriya @nickapos @LukefromDC consider pitching your CV to some recruiters.

• Cut there is demand for anyone who doesn't instantly make PCs blow magic smoke and knows more than starting up Windows.

@kkarhan @nickapos @LukefromDC Well making PCs blow magic smoke ia my specialty but it comes with the territory of doing cybersecurity work!

@kusuriya @nickapos @LukefromDC Anything Cybersec is in high demand.

Seriously…

@kkarhan @kusuriya @LukefromDC Most European countries are also making immigration difficult. I am not saying it is not doable, and yeah Europe has so far resisted imitating US fully, but it is becoming more difficult by the day.
Canada is probably the easier option for a US person.

@nickapos @LukefromDC @kusuriya depends on one's personal case.

• AFAIK #Canada considers the #USA a "safe country of origin", but #Germany does not.
  • Either way, I'd recommend to seek non-asylum options first. Like the #OpportunityCard.

OFC this is #NotLegalAdvice and I'd recommend to seek advice first.

• @marcel and his colleagues may be able to check your options and eligibility.
  • Do inquire about availability tho first... Worst-case they may refer you to another, equally qualified spechalist...
