The FBI/NYPD report was sent to other agencies, warning of “extremist actors targeting law enforcement officers + federal facilities." The report provided no evidence of ties to extremism or violence among court watchers, who've monitored courts across the US as ICE has ramped up courthouse arrests.

The records don't make clear how the FBI accessed a private Signal chat. FBI said the intel came from a “sensitive source with excellent access.”
The report quoted chats from unnamed ppl discussing how to access public hearings at immigration court, what to say upon arrival, what floor to go etc.

A $100,000 Robot Dog Is Becoming Standard in Policing — and Raising Ethical Alarms
Spot, the four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics Inc., is perhaps best known for its viral dance routines to songs like “Uptown Funk.” But beyond its playful antics, Spot’s ability to climb stairs and open doors signals a potentially controversial role as a policing tool.
