“Last Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced an investigation into Signal group chats that Minnesotans are using to track ICE activity. Independent journalist Cam Higby spurred the move with an X thread that appears to show users of the encrypted messaging app reporting ICE sightings and sharing license plate numbers of agency vehicles. What the thread doesn’t show is evidence of a crime. … speech does not lose constitutional protection simply because it might lead others to break the law. That was true when progressive commentators warned about ‘stochastic terrorism’ — the idea that conservative rhetoric on hot-button issues incites violence against minority groups — and it’s true now.” (02/02/26)
