Case Study - ICE RAIDS

From article Facebook Groups Sending Alerts About ICE RAIDS

While some of these Facebook groups have existed for some time, many have been formed in response to President Donald Trump taking office. And the groups appear to be seeing spikes in membership after Trump announced a host of new and expanded policies that allow for more, and speedier, deportations. For example, one group dedicated to locating immigration checkpoints in El Paso, Texas, added nearly 2,000 members since it was founded last week, on February 16. Facebook searches for the words “redadas (raids),” “ICE alerta (ICE alert),” or “retenes (checkpoints)” turn up dozens of similar groups.

One innovation that has emerged in a few of these groups is the use of a walkie-talkie application called Zello. The app, created in Austin, Texas, has been known as a tool used by ISIS fighters to share extremist sermons and other information using as little bandwidth and battery power as possible. Now members of a California-based checkpoint group have created a channel on Zello to conduct audio broadcasts of possible checkpoint locations in real time. The group shared a video on Facebook about joining a specific Zello channel.
