What Investigative Journalist James O’Keefe Found In Minneapolis Is Insane
James O’Keefe went where few reporters were willing to go — straight into Minneapolis’ anti-ICE autonomous zone, the kind of lawless enclave liberal cities have decided to tolerate in the name of “compassion,” even as it devolves into mob rule. The city was already a powder keg after Renee Good was killed on January 7 when she rammed her vehicle into an ICE agent. Now, following the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti, Minneapolis is teetering on the edge of outright civil unrest.
Pretti was armed during the encounter — which, by itself, isn’t a crime — and unlike the Good shooting, the video evidence isn’t definitive. The investigation will determine the facts. But what’s undeniable is the environment: hostility, intimidation, and escalating aggression aimed squarely at federal law enforcement.
O’Keefe experienced that reality firsthand. Once recognized, he became the target of death threats sent directly to his phone and was physically confronted by members of the mob. It wasn’t random anger — it was coordinated, organized, and disciplined. What stood out most wasn’t chaos, but structure. These anti-ICE agitators weren’t stumbling around blindly; they were operating like a movement.
