The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
"Corporate backstopping" is ICE lingo for the steps they take to try to prevent their shell companies from being discovered. Methods include: fake EINs issued by the the IRS, fake FAA & Coast Guard registrations & credit cards taken out for fake businesses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
The ICE undercover manual also describes how reports from the business information company Dun & Bradstreet (@DnBUS) are falsified to provide cover for ICE shell companies. Dun & Bradstreet could not be reached for comment. unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
When an ICE undercover operation team wants to employ "unlawful investigative techniques" such as "illegal wiretapping" & "breaking and entering" all they need is a stamp of approval from the local US Attorney's Office. unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE also devotes a few pages of the manual to instructing agents about laws around entrapment, with an eye towards preventing defendants targeted by ICE undercover operations from using an entrapment defense in court. unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
In portions of the manual dedicated to cultivating infiltration operatives, possible roles taken by those working undercover for ICE are listed to include:

-lawyers
-doctors
-therapists
-priests & other clergy
-"news media"

One interesting passage from ICE's 'Undercover Operations Handbook' describes the use of "Recoverable Funds for Money Laundering" unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE undercover operations can self-fund through a variety of methods including taking money from people & businesses targeted by ICE, "income/profits from undercover endeavors" and interest earned in fake bank accounts for ICE shell companies unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
The #ICE undercover handbook also outlines how they create cover identities for their infiltration agents & confidential informants by falsifying ID documents from private businesses, local, state & federal agencies in the USA as well as foreign countries unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Another portion of the leaked manual outlines "Undercover Internet Activity" undertaken by #ICE agents:

"Software must not be registered to the U.S. Government. However, it must be properly licensed, preferably to a backstopped undercover identity."

unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
#ICE utilizes an "undercover contract psychologist" position as part of their undercover operations teams, in order to try and keep #immigration agents and informants working in the field under potentially 'traumatic' conditions unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Another notable section of the #ICE undercover manual regarding confidential informants outlines "Payments to 3rd Parties for Illegal Services":

"Payments of illegal brokerage fees, commissions, & bribes are not likely to generate proper documentation."

unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Section 6.8 of the #ICE Undercover Operations Handbook outlines relationships with confidential informants (CIs) and various methods used to pay informants via stipends & commissions unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
#ICE agents can also provide cash advances to their informants. The payments are supposed to be tracked through the ‘Certified Undercover Fundamental Financial System’ or 'CUFFS' unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
This is what the form looks like for #ICE agents to track expenses incurred during undercover operations using their 'CUFFS' finance management system: unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
This section describing the role of an #ICE "Undercover Operative" reveals that law enforcement officers from other agencies, such as state and local police, may also be working for #ICE in an undercover capacity.
unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Chapter 5 of #ICE's Undercover Operations Manual outlines the process for the approval of a proposed undercover operation. Details include timeframes for undercover ops & considerations for when infiltrators become reluctant to continue working undercover unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Today’s story releasing the #ICE undercover manual, like all our reporting, is provided for free without any ads, sponsorships, or paywalls. Our journalism is only possible thanks to financial support from our audience. Please help us continue this work: unicornriot.ninja/support-our-wo…
Section 5.12 of the #ICE undercover operations manual outlines "Joint Undercover Operations" carried out in collaboration with other agencies. "Proceeds" ($$$) from illegal businesses run by ICE informants can also be shared with non-ICE law enforcement. unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
When ICE wants to officially hold on to "proceeds" made thru criminal businesses run by its informants, checks from shell company bank accounts can be deposited into the U.S Treasury through a P.O Box in Dallas, Texas. unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
#ICE maintains insurance on vehicles & other equipment used during undercover operations but the insurance has to be taken out under false identities. The manual notes that "filing an insurance claim in an undercover capacity is an unresolved legal issue." unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Blank forms incl. w ICE undercover manual:
-Certified Undercover Operation CUFFS Expense/Advance Approval Form (ICE Form 73-006)
-Pickup Log For Undercover Operations (ICE Form 73-007
-Property/Equipment Log for Undercover Operations (ICE Form 73-008)

unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Ch. 8 of the #ICE undercover manual is 3 pgs long & covers several ICE schools: Undercover Operatives School, Undercover Managers School, Undercover Liaison Coordinator School, CUFFS Administrator School, & training the Undercover Operations Unit Jump Team unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
Here's the direct download link for the #ICE Undercover Operations Handbook: unicornriot.ninja/wp-content/upl… The leaked manual's contents were confirmed to have been current as of 2016.

#BREAKING: Federal prosecutors just filed notice that they are dismissing charges against 38 Trump inauguration protest defendants who had been facing decades in prison after being mass-arrested at #J20 protests. Report coming soon.
Our new report breaks down today's #J20 legal news, which likely represents a decisive end to the troubled case in which federal prosecutors had been fighting tooth & nail to convict anti-Trump protesters based on a wide-reaching conspiracy theory unicornriot.ninja/2018/us-attorn…
We've been doing our best to cover the #J20 case since the events of January 20, when hundreds of people took to the streets of DC for a militant street march demanding "No Peaceful Transition" for the new Trump administration: unicornriot.ninja/2017/no-peacef…

DC Superior Court is resuming session for the day shortly. On the 3rd floor around 9:30 AM, Chief Judge Robert Morin will be ruling on pre-trial matters for two upcoming Trump inauguration protest trial groups.

#J20 #J20trials
Last week, Chief Judge Morin ruled that prosecutors @USAO_DC violated the ‘Brady Rule’ by withholding evidence helpful to the defense. Today he will decide how to ‘sanction’ the prosecution. unicornriot.ninja/2018/prosecuto… #J20 #J20trials
Judge Morin has suggested he may forbid the govt from continuing to use an undercover Project Veritas video of a protest planning meeting. New filings from the defense last night claim dozens of more Project Veritas videos were hidden from defense by US Attorneys

Court has resumed in the second #J20 Trump inauguration protest trial being overseen by Judge Kimberley Knowles. So far, jurors haven’t come into the courtroom yet, as Knowles has heard arguments over defense requests for a mistrial and motions for judgement of acquittal
The defense early this morning renewed their request for a mistrial. Counsel stated they had received partial information in response to their subpoena to ‘Matt’ from Project Veritas but they don’t have time to properly research this information to inform their arguments at trial
Yesterday, attorneys for each defendant had argued to Judge Knowles as to why all charges should be dismissed. Today, under her obligation to view evidence “in the light most favorable to the govt,” Judge Knowles allowed all but a few of the charges to remain.

The second trial stemming from the mass-arrest during protests against Trump’s inauguration is continuing this week in DC Superior Court. So far today, two prosecution witnesses have testified.

#J20
#J20trials
The first witness to testify today was Laurel Hassberger, a forensic technician who recovered several objects from the scene of the mass arrest at 12th & L on #J20. Assistant US Attorney Qureshi did a “show and tell” type presentation of several recovered objects to the jury.
This portion of testimony was basically identical to Hassberger’s appearance in the first trial. The prosecution dramatically presented several objects such as hammers, goggles, & crowbars. When cross examined, Hassberger admitted she pulled no fingerprints or DNA from the items
