O’Keefe and Team Under Attack: Minneapolis Mob Surrounds James O’Keefe, Threatens to Kill Him

A Minneapolis mob of leftists hurled projectiles at James O’Keefe and the O’Keefe Media Group team on Saturday as they documented the ICE-involved shooting.

James O’Keefe also received a death threat from a leftist who was stalking him and tailing his vehicle.

DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when an armed man approached Border Patrol officers, the DHS said.

The armed man, identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti from South Minneapolis, was fatally shot by a federal agent.

Video posted to social media showed that Pretti appeared to attack federal law enforcement agents before he was fatally shot.

James O’Keefe was live reporting from Minneapolis when he was surrounded by hundreds of leftists and chased away.

“My team and I are in downtown Minneapolis right now. We still have undercover reporters inside the mob. I was at the scene of the shooting this morning and barely made it out alive,” O’Keefe said.

He continued, “Hundreds surrounded us. They were throwing ice bottles, ripping off my bulletproof vest. They even followed us all the way back to our hotel.”

“As all of this was happening, we received death threats via text,” O’Keefe said.

James said leftists hurled ice bottles at him and tried to rip off his bulletproof vest.
