An online commentator known as PatriotDadEV2.0 is drawing renewed attention to allegations that a sophisticated and well-funded network has infiltrated the Minneapolis ICE Watch Signal chat, following disclosures by investigative journalist Cam Higby that are now circulating widely on X.
According to PatriotDadEV2.0, Higby obtained access to internal Signal chat conversations tied to the Minneapolis ICE Watch network and began releasing material publicly earlier this week.
The disclosures, PatriotDadEV2.0 said, include screen recordings showing the group’s member lists, which investigators and independent researchers have since analyzed.
“Yesterday, investigative journalist cam Higby began releasing information obtained after infiltrating the Minneapolis ice Watch Signal chat conversations, and the information that he has found and released to the public is absolutely incredible,” PatriotDadEV2.0 said.
“He began by releasing screen recordings of their members list, and investigators over on X have been taking that list and researching who these people are when they’ve decided to use their real names.”
PatriotDadEV2.0 claimed that the individuals identified through this process include elected officials, media figures, and people allegedly connected to Minnesota’s highest levels of government.
“We’re talking about local politicians. We’re talking about national journalists, and yes, even people connected directly to Governor Walz himself,” he said.
Among the names PatriotDadEV2.0 cited were Audrey Chowdhury, a St. Paul City Council member; Brad Tabke, a Minnesota state representative; Sergio Martinez, identified as a national correspondent for NPR; and Hua Jong Kim, another St. Paul councilwoman.
He also alleged that David Snyder, described as a local politician, has been identified as one of the administrators within the Signal group.
Additional figures named by PatriotDadEV2.0 included Minnesota state candidate Anita Smithson, whom he said was identified as a dispatcher, and Amanda Noel Koehler, whom he alleged may be a central figure in the organization.
“It is now believed that this person, Amanda Noel Koehler, may, in fact, be the ringleader of what appears to be a very sophisticated, very well funded organized crime operation,” PatriotDadEV2.0 said
