Got Him: Arrest Made in Brazen Alleged Theft of FBI Rifle That Happened During MN Anti-ICE Riot (Updated)

As RedState previously reported, the anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota have gotten even more out of control since the incident involving Renee Good hitting an immigration enforcement agent, which led to her being killed after shots were fired in self-defense.

For instance, anti-ICE mobs were storming hotels last Friday in an attempt to hunt down ICE agents, causing chaos and no doubt terrifying guests of the hotel. And on Wednesday night, there was an ambush incident involving an ICE agent who DHS says came under attack by three Venezuelan criminal illegal immigrants in the process of trying to detain one of them. The agent, who reportedly was hit by a shovel and a broom brandished by the suspects, ended up shooting one of the perps in the leg in self-defense.

There was also another highly disturbing incident on Wednesday night involving a weapons locker from a federal vehicle that was broken into by rioters, where equipment and other miscellaneous items were either stolen or destroyed, and an agitator was even seen on video stealing what has been described as an FBI rifle and walking away with it.

In an update to this story, the suspect in the alleged theft of the FBI rifle has been arrested:
