Journalist Nick Sortor said Thursday that federal authorities have arrested a man accused of stealing firearm from an FBI vehicle during violence in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.
Speaking to Laura Ingraham, Sortor said the suspect seen on video breaking into a federal vehicle and removing a weapon was not arrested at the scene. “He actually wasn’t arrested last night,” Sortor said. “The Minneapolis police didn’t bother chasing the vehicle that had just stolen a high-powered rifle out of an FBI car.”
Sortor said he has since confirmed that Raul Gutierrez, 33, was taken into custody after federal agents executed an arrest warrant. “What I can confirm now is that Raul Gutierrez, age 33, that you see in the video that I posted last night stealing a firearm from an FBI vehicle, has been arrested by the ATF and the DOJ,” he said. “They executed an arrest warrant today, and he’s a known member of the Latin Kings gang.”
Gutierrez has a lengthy violent criminal record. “Of course, he should have been in prison already,” Sortor said, slamming local law enforcement. He said that the suspect was seen on video beating open a weapons locker and removing an automatic firearm before fleeing.
Sortor said federal investigators were able to identify and locate the suspect using video captured by independent journalists. “If it wasn’t for a lot of us independent journalists on the ground that were able to get a video of this, nobody would have seen it happen,” he said. “They were able to find this guy based on a video from independent journalists.”
During the same broadcast, Sortor said he had been in contact with Pam Bondi throughout the day and confirmed the arrest with the Department of Justice. He also said additional material exists that has not yet been made public, citing ongoing federal activity.
The arrest follows riots on Wednesday night in which agitators broke into federal law enforcement vehicles, stealing weapons, documents, and equipment. Some of the stolen paperwork was displayed during a livestream, with the agitator claiming it contained names of federal agents, contact information, maps, and details related to immigration enforcement operations.

Geez, you’d think the FBI would either take the weapon with them or secure it so nobody could just walk away with it.
Well at least someone got arrested. Did AG Pam Barbie finally relent?
I bet the ABC headline is “Minnesota family man is arrested for minding his own business.”
Use the rifle to shoot the sicko SOB.
The communist revolutionaries are testing the lines.
Send in the Marines.
They were in a locked vehicle. The thugs tied a rope to the handle of the trunk and snatched off the trunk with another vehicle.
Idiots filmed their own faces commiting a federal offense.
This dude is really a very low common denominator. How stupid does a guy have to be to have a face tattoo so the FBI can quickly locate him?
The MN democrat socialists are mobilizing the mentally ill and dregs to form a militia or rioters, and are funding this.
More people will be killed due to this democrat supported violent behavior. Federal ICE officers should not be subjected to this while the local police are ordered to stand down. It is an insurrection.
I’m arguing with somebody I know about all this violence, I can’t seem to convince this person that we have to send federal troops to Minneapolis. Person gets all their news from CNN.
This is a reminder of opportunists.
During the civil war, Iowa had three fighting fronts. The Indians to the west and criminal gangs to the south as will as the front with the south.
Leftist militia of rioters, democrat socialist sponsored.
Arrest means nothing until someone goes to jail. All it has meant in about a decade or two is: “hold until everyone forgets, then release”.
I wouldn't think that at all. It's the FBI.
Then there's this one from 2018:
'Dancing FBI agent who shot man at Denver bar after doing backflip pleads guilty, will avoid jail time'

The video shows it was in a lock box bolted in the vehicle. Nylon straps and another vehicle ripped it out and it still didn’t pop open. Guess more effort was needed after that. Locking stuff up only works for so long.
The weapon was secured, in a vehicle safe. The gangster had to hack the lock open with a hatchet. After he stole the rifle case, the rest of the rioters stole everything else.
So, the Hippy Geezer Rioters are supporting the Latino gangs now, huh? Nice. I hope someday they are all trampled by a herd of buffalo.
Send in the Marines and the Air Force! I’ve seen this crap before. These commies have been trying forever to bring us down. They will succeed one day when the fight is out of all red blooded Americans. This is more than an insurrection. It’s more than an invasion. It’s an Occupation by the commie Demonrats and their militia.
Shouldn’t the thief insurrectionist be shot with the weapon on live TV(after fair trial and conviction, of course). Would that be “insensitive”?
No one “just walked away with it.” It was in a safe in a locked trunk. A vehicle and a hatchet were used to break in.
Where were the drivers, is my question.
