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.

When in the hell are our Feds going to arrest these traitorous slime for inciting violence?!?!
It is an insurrection. Just do it.
Meanwhile....
Pam Bondi contemplates writing another strongly worded letter.
The rioters are escalating and desperately wanting a tragic incident to exploit. Its part of the Leftist playbook. And one will happen if the city is not brought under control.
How long do you think the Tea Party could have gotten with rioting like this without being violently put down?
Lock them all up for 5 years.
Shoot a few more of them.
L
Two pages of pleading with Walz. A truly pathetic letter.
What are they waiting for? Blackhawk down?
When in the hell are our Feds going to arrest these traitorous slime for inciting violence?!?!
The democrats judges will just let them go

Message It is a federal crime for an elected official to urge constituents to obstruct U.S. law, depending on the methods advocated. Specific laws prohibit corruptly influencing, obstructing, or impeding official proceedings (18 U.S.C. § 1505) and inciting violence or illegal acts.
Key legal considerations include: Obstruction of Proceedings: Federal law prohibits influencing or impeding the proper administration of law by departments, agencies, or Congress.
Encouraging Violence/Illegal Acts: It is a felony to “solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade” others to commit violent crimes against people or property. Using threats, force, or intimidation to prevent the production of evidence or obstruct legal proceedings is illegal.
While political speech is protected, incitement to imminent lawless action or direct threats to disrupt government functions generally falls outside 1st Amendment protection. The specific intent to cause illegal obstruction, rather than just voicing political opposition, is necessary for criminal prosecution.
Shouldn’t some of those attaching be pushing up daises now?
start putting charges on the political leaders who are fanning the flames
