Far-left organizations are providing ICE related information to protesters in Minneapolis

| January 26, 2026

Alex Pretti and the group that he was with benefited from information provided by certain websites. These websites, run by far-left groups, provided online information related to ICE. Fox News Digital looked into these groups and discovered that they were organizations under the umbrella of socialist, communist, and Marxist-Leninist philosophies. These groups provided information online related to ICE operations. Protesters and agitators utilized this information to be in position to protest the federal agents.

From Fox News:

A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE “Abductors” in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired.

ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations.

Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti’s death is genuine, the network’s real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.

“This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities,” Vice President JD Vance observed in a Sunday post on X.

The encrypted Signal messages obtained by Fox News Digital in real time show that anti-ICE “rapid responders” were actively tracking, broadcasting and summoning “backup” around federal agents outside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue, where the shooting happened. Local “rapid responders” made at least 26 entries into a database called “MN ICE Plates” in the critical hours before and after the killing, documenting the license plate numbers and details of alleged ICE vehicles they claimed to see around Nicollet Avenue.

Send more DHS agents to MN. Squeeze the corrupt mayor and fake CSM governor.

“Send more cops.”

LOL

Old tanker

The goal is anarchy and destruction of law and order. They can’t claim victory for the “workers” unless they can get the feds to back away.

The trope has been overused IMO, but in this case, they do seem to be trying to foment a civil war for real this time. My FB feed has been absolutely slammed by avowed communist organizations trying to cause even more discontent along with what seems to be a legion of dem congress critters. I am so sick and tired of dem politicians dancing on the graves of people to further their agenda.

Not a Lawyer

One side has the law and the other doesn’t. The legacy media is fully supporting the non ROL side.

Neither side is going to back down so now would be the time for Congress to get off their ass and do something useful. Since that won’t happen either we are in a tight spot either way.

Congress doing something useful? Dream on,Columbus.

Most of us on this site spent our careers training to eradicate the world of the evil commies.

I don’t think that today’s american-bred commies really want to find out if we still have what it takes to complete that mission.

I’ll leave the light on, just in case.

Forest Bondurant

You’re right.

A vast majority of commenters here spent a good part of their youth into their adult lives learning, honing, improving, and when the environment or circumstances called for it, used the skills you infer. I predict quite a few here became very good at some of those skills, but don’t speak or brag of them – ever.

I’ll speculate that with all the commenters here, and their varied levels of training, there’s probably over 1,000 years of experience in killing the enemy and breaking their things in more ways than one.

As the saying goes: “Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.”

Heck yeah, I signed-up to fight commies not kiss their ass.

Call me crazy but it should take about three days to infiltrate these commie groups, a week to gather intelligence and evidence, and another week of targeted arrests to decapitate the group. Please tell me the FBI is involved.

This mob’s leadership should be locked up as soon as there is sufficient evidence gathered to ensure they live in the federal pen for 10-20 years or until the next Dem president, whichever comes first. I include senior Minnesota “leadership” in my estimation.

The scariest thing; I predict they start using IEDs.

My personal opinion has always been that Trump should focus his efforts on cleaning up Red states and the remaining normies in the blue states would demand similar action, with election results to follow. Given they aren’t doing that, start arresting them all and ensure it takes at least as long as it took the J6 crowd to get to trial.

So, it is to be war between us. Same tactics, different city. Nobody will win here.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Meet Kyle Edward Wagner of Eden Prarie, MN. His parents must be so proud of him:

Before becoming an influencer for Antifa violent extremism, he was a cross-dressing activist.

Some more information on Kyle Edward Wagner:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/transtifa-kyle-instructs-minneapolis-get-your-fking-guns

“Citizen journalist Andy Ngo reported:

“Get your f—king guns and stop these f—king people”

“A Minnesota Antifa member-turned-social media influencer and online recruiter named Kyle Wagner is urging his comrades to take up arms to kill agents of the federal government. His recruitment videos are on @instagram , which has become popular for the far-left in organizing violence due to its reach with mainstream liberals.”

“Wagner has branded himself on the neck with the gang tattoo of the Antifa “Iron Front” logo, similar to how neo-Nazis brand themselves with fascist symbols.”

Kyle Edward Wagner’s disturbing video (about a minute long).

Sounds as if he is doxxing himself, i.e. giving away his home address.

And I bet “Iron Front” is affiliated with BlackBloc.

I guaran-damn-tee that Kyle will not be there, leading the charge into the fight he claims to want.

Communists and DildoCrats aren’t against GUNS.
They’re against CONSERVATIVES having guns.
The D&C (see what I did there?) crowd (or their weaponized minions) want to be able to shoot at you without you shooting back.

Yes, indeed, that’s Leftists’ idea of “gun safety”:

Send the illegal thieves, rapists, gangbangers and such from other states to Minneapolis with the understanding that the Feds will leave them alone as long as they stay within city limits. You want ’em, Mayor Frey and the city officials of Minneapolis, you got ’em. All of ’em. Have a nice day.

Citizens of Minneapolis, when you dig your head out of your butts and start electing rational people, then maybe we’ll talk.

As for me, I live DDEP in Red State America, so if any of the little shits come to my neck of the woods, it’ll be a contest among me and my neighbors to see who bags the most. If they DO come, they ought to bring their own body bags to make cleanup quicker, but I have plenty of neighbors who own excavation equipment, and “The three C’s” will apply.

I heard (but can’t confirm) she grabbed a flash bang. Owie!

It was entertaining to watch Tubby pick up the flashbang, then drop it like it had burst into flame, and then watch her fat ass flop on the ground. The living embodiment of FAFO.

Our dead “hero” was one of the “rapid responders.”

Does this woman earn her own thread on This Ain’t Hell? Besides the two recent idiots who listens to their lives in while confronting ICE agents attempting to carry federal immigration laws, we have the Soy Boi who charged ICE and took a bean bag to the face losing an eye, and the guy who took a rubber bullet to his balls and list his testicles. Fuck with ICe and they may not kill you, but they will take a piece of you.

“Besides the two recent idiots who listens to their lives in while confronting ICE agents attempting to carry federal immigration laws”

No idea what Hack meant to write there. Must be the exhaust fumes from the 1980’s vintage Jaguar making Hack drowsy. Speaking of which, Psual and Karen now have a place to call home. They hollowed a pile of snow that MDOT left on the side of I-495 near the River Road exit.
