Breitbart: Brazilian migrants illegally residing in the United States are utilizing WhatsApp group messaging chats to share live information on ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and avoid getting deported, the Brazilian news outlet G1 reported on Monday.
According to G1, groups of migrants are acting as “sentries,” observing ICE’s movements and passing on the information in group chats to avoid detention and potential deportation. Similarly, migrants are skipping work and are not having their children go to school out of fear of being detained by immigration officials.
G1 spoke to one such Brazilian illegal migrant under condition of anonymity. The man, who claimed to reside in Florida and work in the construction industry, said that he has two children and fears being deported because of his lack of legal status in the country.
The man explained that he communicates with groups of migrants via the WhatsApp messaging platform, where they use real-time information about ICE raids to avoid them. The man further claimed, “There are days when the police play it down, there are days when it’s ‘bullshit.’” more here
whatsapp is available to any ****** asshole?
If it can be used for them….it can be used against them
If ICE hasn’t infiltrated the WhatsApp groups to direct the illegal aliens into traps set up to grab as many as possible, then I question whether they are competent or willing to do their jobs. Message and comms traffic hijacking is simple and easy stuff. I’m sure some people at NSA could help if they were so inclined.
ICE needs capybara costumes.
Brazilians…is that a thousand trillion?
SOunds to me like WhatsApp is illegally enabling illegals.
Now I could campare this to radar detectors with are illegal in some states, but this should be a federal issue where aiding and abetting should be against the law regardless of the method that is being used!
Thirdtwin – A Brazilian would be a public (ahem) wax job!
Them dang Brazilians are just as dangerous as the Venezuelans. Same thing I guess. If it’s short and brown and headed your way get ready to pull your smoke wagon.
It looks like Hyundai is employing a shit load of them in Georgia. Want happened to E Verify?

illegals running like the proverbial raped ape!
If there’s a video I’m grabbing some popcorn!
The irony here is the US taxpayer probably bought the smart phones for these portubeaners. I’d wager that some of this info comes from internal leaks, but if people are actually following ICE around, then who is paying them to do that? Is it via electronic surveillance or physical tracking? How many cars do these people have?
If intelligence operatives for ICE can figure out where these portubeaners get their intel, they can start running stings and deceptions on these criminals.
