What happened on the ground
James O’Keefe and his crew infiltrated an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis and found a chaotic scene where press were treated like enemies. Team members say they were chased, hit with thrown objects, teargassed, and forced to retreat after being labeled federal agents. They also report death threats and being followed from one location to another, with people inside the autonomous zone checking identities and no police presence to keep order. That is not reporting, that is a risky sting operation in real time.
Who the activists admitted is funding them
On hidden camera, protesters and organizers allegedly named a network of nonprofits and unions helping to bankroll and coordinate the actions. Names mentioned include the Service Employees International Union, Make the Road New York, and the Independent Socialist Group. One activist reportedly acknowledged international organizing against ICE. Make the Road New York has received substantial government grants in past years, which raises questions about taxpayer-funded groups being involved in disruptive street actions.
How the press and public were targeted
The team says journalists were interrogated about their identities and singled out if they did not pass the political litmus test. They were accused of being undercover federal agents, then ambushed and pushed out by a mob. Spotters allegedly monitored the hotel where the O’Keefe Media Group stayed. When reporters cannot safely do their job, citizens lose a key check on power and public safety gets worse. Free press matters until it is threatened into silence.
Why this should concern every taxpayer
If activist groups are coordinating large street protests with funding tied to NGOs and unions, the public has a right to know who provides the money and what the goals are. When government grants go to organizations that turn up repeatedly at disruptive protests, oversight questions follow naturally. This story is about transparency, public safety, and whether taxpayer-funded or well-funded private groups are steering public demonstrations without accountability.
