As Minneapolis police failed to respond to violent unrest Wednesday night, rioters smashed into ICE vehicles, ripped out weapons lockers, and — according to video posted online — made off with a rifle and ammunition before fleeing the scene. The video shows the tattooed face of a man making off with what appears to be a rifle case removed from the vehicle.

The incident spurred rioters to take to the streets in violent conflict with federal law enforcement agents and officers. Independent journalist Nick Sortor posted a video on X showing an incident where rioters broke into an ICE vehicle and forced open a weapons locker stored in the rear of the SUV. The video shows the tattooed face of a man who appears to be taking a rifle bag from the locker and making off with it. Sortor said he provided the images of the man’s face and getaway vehicle’s license plate to the FBI.
In a second video posted by Sortor, rioters use a strap and a vehicle to rip another weapons locker out of the rear of an ICE vehicle. The video shows multiple people attempting to break into the locker to steal its contents.
One man, wearing what appears to be a black-and-white “Highly Underrated” varsity jacket, tries multiple strategies to break into the locker. At one point, he lifts the locker to his shoulder and slams it to the ground. After more than two minutes of unsuccessful break-in attempts, the rioters appear to grow bored with the effort and move on.
Sortor reported that, despite the attacks on fellow law enforcement agents and officers, and the threat of high-powered weapons being stolen, Minneapolis and Minnesota police refused to provide assistance.
Multiple sources confirm that the Minneapolis Police Department has a standing policy not to assist ICE officers and other federal agents, even when they are in physical danger. In June, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported from a MPD memo reminding officers that they are restricted from aiding in immigration enforcement operations.
The article revealed:
“Any assistance for federal enforcement action must be routed through the chain of command for evaluation and authorization by the Chief of Police or Chief’s designer,” the memo states. “Members of the MPD shall not self-deploy to any related immigration enforcement activity. We remain committed to supporting public safety and maintaining trust within our communities.”
