A Minneapolis mob of leftists hurled projectiles at James O\u2019Keefe and the O\u2019Keefe Media Group team on Saturday as they documented the ICE-involved shooting of Alex Pretti. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy team and I are in downtown Minneapolis right now. We still have undercover reporters inside the mob. I was at the scene of the shooting this morning and barely made it out alive,\u201d O\u2019Keefe said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cHundreds surrounded us. They were throwing ice bottles, ripping off my bulletproof vest. They even followed us all the way back to our hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs all of this was happening, we received death threats via text,\u201d O\u2019Keefe said.<\/p>\n

James said leftists hurled ice bottles at him and tried to rip off his bulletproof vest.<\/p>\n

On Monday, James O\u2019Keefe released a small clip of the attack.<\/p>\n

James O\u2019Keefe also received a death threat from a leftist who was stalking him and tailing his vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have 1 hour to leave or you\u2019re dead,\u201d the message read.<\/p>\n

Later Saturday evening, James provided an urgent update about what he experienced in Minneapolis:<\/p>\n

\n

URGENT UPDATE: I\u2019ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I\u2019ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in \u201824. 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.<\/p>\n

Earlier around noon, while @camhigby released his report on the Signal threads, I was inside what appeared to be a fully autonomous Zone. No police presence. The police were told to leave. I identified myself as Press and they said they will kill Press and will not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold. But because they couldn\u2019t verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit, @SKRUCHTENMMA, a marine who was with me. They patted him down like THEY were the authorities, attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I will have a full video report shortly.<\/p>\n

But the bigger picture here is more important. I am angry. But not at the agitators. I find myself already angry at the people who don\u2019t understand what we\u2019re dealing with and will do nothing about it. When I got to the suburbs I felt like I was in a simulation.<\/p>\n

I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we\u2019re headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families\u2014I get it. But when fear turns inward, when self-preservation and greed replace moral courage, evil goes unchallenged. And history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Ironically and incredibly, I see that these Communists do not fear death in the same way most good people seem to. The only thing the Communists fear is exposure itself. And that\u2019s good news because it may be our only option.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m dead serious about investigating the prosecutors themselves if they don\u2019t hold these Minnesota fraudsters and violent mobsters accountable for what they\u2019re doing. Stay tuned for the videos.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
