Group chats about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents aren't illegal. On Monday, Patel told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the FBI was investigating a Signal group in which people had been chatting about ICE agents' whereabouts. Sharing this information allows people to protest, observe, or document ICE activity, or avoid run ins with ICE agents. Of course, trapping ICE agents and harming them would indeed be illegal. Their goal seems to be discrediting the very idea that protesting government actions is at the core of protected First Amendment speech.
