My guess is the get the phone info from protests and then use the data from location data brokers to track further.

I thought this was going to say they were deploying Stingrays in neighborhoods. Pretty sure this is worse, because at least a Stingray requires something be physically present. Fuck all of this.

Yeah, same. I setup an Orbic with RayHunter exactly for this reason. I took that with me when I’ve gone by protests just to see if there’s one present. Then, if in the clear, shut down my personal devices and attended. I’m paranoid like that I guess…

Setup Meshtastic nodes too.
Having the ability to communicate without using cellular infrastructure is incredibly useful, especially during natural disasters (which ICE certainly qualifies).

Benn Jordan has some other ideas too(and a bit more detail on the mesh technologies/DIY options available): www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4rEaRduk
