In this episode of "The Worse It Gets, The Worse It Gets"...

As if things couldn't be worse in the anti-ICE haven of Minneapolis, a man has been arrested by the FBI for doxxing — and threatening — a federal agent, and his child, after information was stolen from several government vehicles during an anti-ICE protest in the out-of-control city.

According to a Fox News Alert:

Folks at home will remember these images of protesters breaking into several FBI vehicles several weeks ago in Minneapolis. After agents who were trying to investigate the shooting of an illegal immigrant were forced to evacuate the area for their own safety. 

Inside those cars, protesters found documents that they posted online — including rosters with FBI employees' phone numbers, e-mail addresses, home addresses, and driver's licenses.

According to court records, within a day 10 to 15 FBI officers and employees started getting threatening phone calls, e-mails, texts, and even suspicious drive-bys at their home addresses. One agent had around 23 different people contact him, with messages like this:

"I know where your mom lives, bro. And your dad. And your kids, buddy. Get home safe and fast."

"We'll see how tough you are when I firebomb [physical address], Cincinnati, OH 45242."

But it didn't stop there. They also tracked down one FBI special agent's child on Facebook, and sent them this message: 

"How does it feel to be [the child] of your dad's info linked online and I find it incredibly embarrassing that he's FBI, but so much is available about him and his family."

Beyond chilling. 

Federal investigators traced several threatening messages to a man named Jose Ramirez, who lives outside Chicago in Schaumburg, Illinois. According to the criminal complaint, Ramirez has a criminal history, which includes domestic battery, burglary, and mob action. He's now charged with doxxing and threatening an FBI agent.

This type of sick behavior is beyond reprehensible. 

Here's more

“The threatening communications have had a significant impact on Victim A’s personal and professional life,” the complaint stated, saying the agent is afraid for their family’s safety and “has had to take significant security precautions” at work and at home.

According to the complaint, a search of law enforcement records showed Ramirez’s phone was listed in a 2014 Schaumburg police report of a harassment complaint filed by a manager at the Woodfield Mall.

The report noted Ramirez had been fired for “threatening to shoot another employee,” and that he was “sending threatening messages that he would be returning to the workplace despite being fired,” the complaint stated. No criminal charges were filed as a result of that investigation.

Meanwhile, law enforcement traced Ramirez’s cellphone billing records to a large apartment building in the 1300 block of Valley Lake Drive in Schaumburg, where he was apparently living under an alias, the complaint stated.

Catch that? 

The guy *allegedly* threatened to shoot a fellow-employee in 2014 — 12 years ago — and has been charged with multiple other crimes, yet he still roamed the streets of Greater Chicagoland. 

Translation: Just another example of our revolving door justice system.
