SHOCKING VIDEO: Federal Officers Attacked and Tackled by Violent Minneapolis Rioters
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 25, 2026 | Cassandra MacDonald

Posted on 01/25/2026 4:15:34 PM PST by Morgana

In a shocking video from the ongoing riots in Minneapolis, protesters are seen violently attacking and tackling a federal officer.

The escalating violence follows a fatal shooting on Saturday, where federal agents shot and killed an armed man, 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, as he agitated and intervened during an immigration enforcement action.

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in the hours after the shooting, and continued into the night and the following day.

Video footage from the scene on Sunday shows masked protesters pummelling and kicking the officers.

WATCH:

The primary attacker appears to have been quickly apprehended by other officers.

Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, have encouraged protesters to continue fighting ICE amid escalating tensions.

DHS has repeatedly warned about a surge in violence against its officers, attributing it to “radical rhetoric” from sanctuary politicians.

In a statement earlier this month, DHS reported an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults on ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks compared to previous years.

“The hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers,” the department said in a statement.

On Saturday, one of the violent rioters bit the finger off of a federal official.

The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on developments in Minneapolis as the situation unfolds.

1) Bring out the water cannons.

2) Also, take away their welfare. Welfare is a contract. You break the rules you lose your benefits. I bet the riots stop right away. These treasonous insurrectionists should lose all benefits.

Probably most of them are not Minnesotans, so should not be on MN welfare. And even those who are Minnesotans are probably being paid (employed) by Soros and shouldn’t be receiving welfare.

But then again, so many in MN are granted funds they do not deserve.

FBI & ICE RAID Uncover Tunnel Under Somali Attorneys’ Minneapolis Mansion — 2.64 Tons, 96 Arrests

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-bd-9KDUnA

In this explosive report, a coordinated FBI and ICE raid rocks Minneapolis following the discovery of a sophisticated tunnel network beneath a luxury mansion owned by prominent immigration attorneys. The case quickly escalates into one of the largest federal enforcement operations in Midwest history, exposing deep cartel infiltration at every level.

As investigations unfold, federal forces moved rapidly across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, executing simultaneous raids at over sixty locations tied to the Al-Hudood Logistics Syndicate. FBI and ICE teams uncovered 2.64 tons of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine hidden in underground vaults, alongside $18.7 million in cash and encrypted communications linking the operation to international smuggling routes. With FBI coordination and ICE tactical support, 96 suspects were arrested in a single six-hour operation that dismantled tunnel systems stretching beneath some of Minnesota’s wealthiest neighborhoods. This report breaks down how attorneys turned their mansion into a narcotics fortress, corrupted law enforcement officials at every level, and built a parallel legal system designed to shield a transnational drug empire. The presence of FBI and ICE forces raises urgent questions about the depth of cartel infiltration in American cities and the officials who enabled it.

ICE needs both artillery and air support. A few dozen mortar rounds would quiet down this rebellion.

Pam Bondi and Patel have been major disappointments in my opinion.
We gave this government the election to help save this Country. God knows EVERYTHING is screwed up, but SO MUCH MORE COULD BE BEING DONE!
I’m convinced Republicans just WANT TO BE THE MINORITY PARTY!
They HATE being in power, and they’re gonna screw us and this Country!!
Only Trump, and a small handful get it. problem is they can’t do it alone.

Yup. Agent on back getting kicked. Cut the POS a new one from the bottom up.

In the old days the ride to the lockup would have been informative as the attacker would have been given his rights, and lefts. I know as my dad was a copper who was kicked in the head by arrestee who was in back seat, no screen those days. Detour to the ER.

It’s getting closer to the time when Trump is going to have to invoke the Insurrection Act. This stuff is getting out of hand. That, or perhaps ICE should live up to its name and bring in some tanker trucks and blast these protesters with water. I would normally say blast them with liquid skunk, but given the weather recently, water will do.

M4 carbines w 120 in the carrier, 30 in the weapon.

Arm 50% to cover the other 50% while they take care of business.

The jackassery will vanish.

What a load of crap. Lowest murder rate since 1900. They caught 6 of the ten most wanted. More than Biden Did in 4 years. Pam Bondi thermostat loyal GA in my lifetime. Trump loves her.
