‘Clear escalation’: Leaked Signal chats suggest ICE agents ‘targeted for assassination’
In what is being called a “clear escalation,” leaked Signal chats suggest American ICE agents may be targeted for assassination with with bull’s-eyes appearing on images as Target stores are accused of cooperating with federal immigration officials.
Steven Crowder, host of “Louder with Crowder,” posted images of what he called a “breaking Signal leak” on X, stating: “Minneapolis ICE Agents Are Being ‘TARGETED’ With Bullseyes In Apparent Assassination Threat Following Target’s Cooperation With Federal Immigration Officers.
“MugClub Undercover found these images being distributed in the signal chats. This is evidence of clear escalation.”

Crowder appealed to FBI Director Kash Patel, saying: “Have you seen enough now? SHUT IT DOWN!”
One of the images for CVS at Target shows a bull’s-eye on a car with the caption, “Drive up & get your shots,” and the Target logo now reading :”TARGETED.”
Another shows Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other agents on a Target poster reading: “We let ICE do in-store pickup.”
One of the leaked Signal chats has one user asking: “Is there a group organizing this?”
A user named “Guillotine Daddy” responds: “I’m with socialism alternative and we [are] trying to send a message to Target. If you can help tomorrow, we’d love to see you. We are coordinating with Target employees to send a LOUD message.”
Protests against Target stores took place across America on Saturday, with NPR reporting:
The anti-ICE protests include calls for boycotts against retailers and businesses perceived to be in cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In Washington, D.C., a coalition of organizations picketed Target stores. The retailer is headquartered in Minneapolis.
“I want them to see that we are not just standing idly, while our neighbors are being kidnapped. We are standing for our brothers and sisters in Minneapolis,” said Slobodan Milic, wearing his purple Free DC sweatshirt while picketing a Target store along a busy thoroughfare of the city.
Target said it shared with its teams that “Target does not have cooperative agreements with ICE or any other immigration enforcement agency.”
Journalist Nick Sortor shared video of one of the sit-ins, noting; “Liberal white boomers are now out in FULL FORCE taking over Minnesota Target stores.
“Imagine being so worthless that you spend your Saturdays singing songs in support of child r*pists while harassing shoppers at Target.”

These absolute idiots don’t understand the difference between private and public. Target Minneapolis told them to take a hike. Any private business has a right to boot you out for disturbance. Good Lord, they are dumber than I thought pic.twitter.com/GnrTSLi0Am
