James O'Keefe update on Minneapolis
X ^ | 01/24/2026 | James O'Keefe

Posted on 01/26/2026 7:50:39 AM PST by DFG

URGENT UPDATE: I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24. 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.

Earlier around noon, while Cam Higby 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’t 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.

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’t understand what we’re dealing with and will do nothing about it. When I got to the suburbs I felt like I was in a simulation.

I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we’re headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families—I 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.

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’s good news because it may be our only option.

I’m dead serious about investigating the prosecutors themselves if they don’t hold these Minnesota fraudsters and violent mobsters accountable for what they’re doing. Stay tuned for the videos.

Unfortunately this means they are doing everything they can to stop the Feds from taking hold of the state. If they give in now every blue state will do the same thing and we will be Mexico in a month.

The government needs to do something about this. This is what they were elected to do. Identify and arrest the leaders and the most audacious violators of the law.

Good post.

Bondi and Kash think this is a school recess and some kids are playing.

The left does not play.

We saw this before with BLM. A Blue city gives control of a portion of the city to paramilitary activists. They burn, loot and cause everyone to live in fear to get their way. And threaten any reporter who tries to report on it. And the city government intentionally tells police to stay out and stand down. The liberal media is complicit and does not report on any of it, or spins it as peaceful protests.

Mexico is not that bad lol. Corrupt. Sure. But I wouldn't mind that.

I think you meant that we will be like the UK in a month.

I find it hard to believe that the local police really feel this kind of lawless chaos is the way for their city to be run. I guess they are thinking of their pensions.

The streets are overrun with thugs and mobs yet Tampon Tim has the Minnesota National Guard passing out doughnuts and coffee to the protesters. The Somali scammers I’m sure are still getting their government checks and flying bags of cash out of the country. When the heck will someone put an end to this insanity.

The military should be in there and if attacked, shooting, no backing off to investigate it afterwards. Local authorities are had. This is war and they are using the legal system to help them take over or destroy the country.

After the church invasion I told my family it would not be long until they come after all of us, using Red Guard tactics, demanding we chant their chants and support their cause, whatever it might be that week.

Cam Higby has exposed their network and how well organized they are. This is far more serious than our government is treating it.

Minnesota has become Sinaloa.

Trump needs to act now or the Rebellion will become complete.

FedGov needs to take over all functions of city government and shut down the communist rebels communications system on Signal.

It’s urgent.

Yes. And the fate of Officer Chauvin in the George Floyd case is a strong warning. Doing your job, in a way which goes against the narrative, even if everything you are doing is what you have been taught to do, can be used by the leftists in charge to destroy you.

The “authorities” in Minnesota have no hint of loyalty or moral compass.

JD Vance Notes Something Very Important About Minneapolis Chaos

January 25, 2026 | Sundance

Last week CPB commander Greg Bovino was asked what makes Minneapolis different from other cities where ICE enforcement operations have taken place. Bovino noted in the Minneapolis region there is no separation between the extremists on the ground and the people in local government. Today, Vice President JD Vance concurs and expands on that sentiment:

[Source]

What Vice-President Vance says here is very important.  The regional government is a stakeholder in maintaining the chaos on the streets.  Why?  Because for two decades a cancer of rampant financial fraud has been permitted to spread throughout the Minneapolis region and has now reached the stage of visible metastasis.

Shortly after the George Floyd incident, some of us started looking into a background issue where it seemed like local police and Floyd had a knowledgeable relationship with each other prior to the encounter on the street.  The initial contact between Floyd and police was about Floyd passing off a counterfeit $20 bill to a business that was not part of the approved money laundering operation.

When you follow that trail, you end up in a really weird place where it seemed like millions of counterfeit dollars were entering the country through Mexico, going by rail into the U.S. mainland and then transitioning through the Minneapolis region. I stopped researching it {SEE HERE} when I discovered that Floyd and police officer Chauvin were friends, and worked together at one of the laundry businesses; a nightclub.

From X:

ICYMI: CBP officers discovered $900,000 in counterfeit US currency in a commercial rail shipment
in International Falls, MN. The counterfeit currency was seized and will be turned over to @SecretService .
Details: http://bit.ly/37ta6kA

The corrupt activity in the Minneapolis area has been going on for around two decades.  There are two basic components, local financial fraud and govt financial fraud.  The local fraud represented millions and involved counterfeit goods/money and laundering operations.  The government assisted financial fraud represents billions and involves abuses of federal tax monies.

After 20 years of this activity almost all elements of the economic and social structure are now compromised.  As we have seen in the last several weeks, the HHS/CMS fraud is extensive and that illegal activity is impossible to exist without the knowledge, aid and assistance of the regional and municipal government officials.

Fraudulent day cares, fraudulent healthcare services, fraudulent transport companies, fraudulent “Health Outreach Workers” and various governmental offices all involved in bilking taxpayers for billions upon billions.  At the same time there is a massive money laundering operation in the underground economy.

After two decades of this unchecked corruption, there’s no way to guess how much of the regional economic activity is actually dependent on the financial fraud.  My best estimate is that over fifty percent of all economic activity -in the entire region- is based on fraud.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions are the surface level issue for the regional and state government.  However, it is the widespread financial fraud that turns the activity of the leftist agitators on the street into a useful tool for the regional officials to manipulate in order to hide the true financial fraud that surrounds the area.

The “local authorities” are working with the “far left agitators” because the Minneapolis region is a network of codependent fraud.

The police are compromised. The judges and courts are compromised. The local municipal officials are compromised. The mayor’s office is compromised, and the corruption issue spreads out to the state level when Governor Tim Walz previously shut down audits of the financial crimes and then state officials ignored whistleblowers.

All of the private and public institutions -within the system of regional and state government- are connected to a statewide network of financial fraud, from counterfeit money laundering to exploitation of federal government benefits; it is all connected to the same network of fraud.

It was the ease and ability to conduct fraud that attracted the Somali migrants and the criminal aliens.  These people came for the money. ICE coming to arrest the aliens has put a spotlight on the reason why they aggregated in the Minneapolis region.

How this can be corrected is anyone’s guess.

Follow the money trail and you will discover this real reason for the state and local officials to support the anarchy in the streets.  They all want the federal government to leave.

possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups,

There's no "possible" to this... Someone, more than one someone, within law enforcement is running these checks for their Signal tracking databases.

I don’t have a problem with the feds taking over a failed state and bringing it back to order. Would I like it? No, but it is necessary.

Trump is fearful of the Political fallout of bringing in the Military so he lets it go on.
