It was a wild weekend with the Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis on Saturday.
We don't know all the facts in the case yet. But the Democrats were off to the races, declaring it "murder." They've helped to incite the anti-ICE and anti-DHS agitators. Immediately, there was violence in the wake of the shooting, with an ICE agent having his finger bitten off by a rioter and protesters attacking a hotel they thought ICE agents were staying at.

As our sister site Townhall reported, investigative reporter and O'Keefe Media founder (OMG) James O'Keefe was on the ground with his team. They faced some wild moments, as he explained. He said they were surrounded by the mob, who were "throwing ice bottles, ripping off my bulletproof vest. They even followed us all the way back to our hotel." He claimed they even tried to pat down the Marine who was with him, like they were the authorities.
URGENT UPDATE: I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24.

O'Keefe claimed he even got a text death threat saying that they knew his group was with O'Keefe and "his Nazis," even identifying the car they were in by the color and the plate number. That's concerning - how did they get that information?

He continued:
But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We switched locations THREE times. I recorded and posted this while leaving Wayzata, while they were STILL surveilling. We all agreed we must make the threats public ASAP, even if we had people still in the field with the hidden cams.
O'Keefe explained he reported the death threats to multiple agencies, including the FBI. He said he would have all the footage on Tuesday.

He was most concerned that people didn't realize what was happening here. The American people need to wake up about what is going on in Minneapolis, he argued, and "history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow."
They need to get the organizers, and then the dominoes will start falling.
