Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec interviewed reporter Kevin Posobiec on Thursday following violent unrest in Minneapolis on Wednesday that saw rioters break into a federal law enforcement vehicle and publicly read out sensitive documents during a livestream. This followed the shooting injury of a Venezuelan man who resisted ICE arrest and assaulted agents with a shovel.
Posobiec detailed some of his experiences covering the unrest in Minneapolis. “It’s just a sad sight to see that we have fallen into this state and this situation,” he said. “We got the call and I rolled down there, gathered by hundreds of protesters and also a good presence of police. But yeah, it was absolute mayhem.”
According to Posobiec, the scene quickly devolved, with repeated crowd-control measures used by police. “There were multiple volleys of tear gas throughout the time I was there. I got a bunch myself, different styles of tear gas and also flashbangs and return fireworks from these lunatic rioters. And it was absolute mayhem,” he said.
“These people just have no moral compass,” Posobiec said. “If anything, when they show concern for others, it’s only to relay to people to stop filming, especially during these looting of law enforcement officers’ vehicles. Nobody called for any of this to be stopped.”
Footage from the riot showing a weapons locker and documents inside a federal vehicle that had been broken into. An agitator later livestreamed the contents, claiming they included names of federal agents, contact information, maps, hotel locations, and details of immigration enforcement operations. “One of the ICE agent vehicles got broken into, and I found this paperwork,” the agitator said on stream. “It has a list with FBI operation info. It’s got full names of FBI agents, phone numbers, emails.”
The individual continued reading from the documents, saying, “This is the transport of immigration targets. This is a map showing you where they’re taking immigration targets and instructions on how to get into the building.” On Thursday morning, Kristi Noem clarified that the vehicles broken into were FBI vehicles, not ICE vehicles.
Kevin Posobiec explained how the breach occurred, saying federal agents formed a tight perimeter around the shooting scene while undercover vehicles sat outside that zone. “What you didn’t see was that every surrounding block was also secured by police,” he said. “But the FBI vehicles were undercover. Protesters must have spotted them and doubled back.”
He added that agents left the vehicles to reinforce the perimeter, leaving them vulnerable. “In total there was probably about 50 agents versus 200 protesters,” he said. “The response came about half an hour after it started.”
