After a volunteer confirmed an officer’s identity, they would alert neighbors to the agent’s presence, and our dispatch team would send a text message to our contacts in the area. ICE agents almost never carry judicial warrants giving them the authority to enter private homes or businesses without permission, so they often wait to make an arrest when the person they’re looking for leaves their home or car. And in every case we worked on, when the agents realized they were being watched, they abandoned their stakeout.
Dude, we live in a time wherein Russia managed to destroy America from within via lies on social media. “Just text people about it, they can’t track that” could be someone who genuinely doesn’t know how easy it is to track SMS, or it could be a psyop to try and get people to organise with poor opsec, or it could be sarcasm - there’s quite literally no way to tell. If you have a foolproof method, I’m all ears.
I think you might have replied to the wrong person.
Why do you think that? You implied I’m a child because I didn’t get they were being sarcastic, didn’t you? I wasn’t trying to put any emotion into what I wrote, if you read that into it; just pointing out that it’s not unreasonable to miss sarcasm in writing on the Internet nowadays.
