Right-Wing Influencers Have Flooded Minneapolis

Clips from creators in Minnesota have become primary evidence in attempts from the right-wing to justify ICE's surge on American cities. In the days since a masked federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, right-wing creators and influencers like Nick Sortor and Cam Higby have descended on Minneapolis, filming protestors and interviewing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. So far, they've produced a steady stream of content that appears designed to paint Minneapolis as a lawless city, and the actions of ICE agents like Jonathan Ross, who reportedly shot and killed Good, as self-defense. "HELL YES! ICE just SMASHED a leftist activist's car window in and pulled them out after they interfered in ICE's operations in Minneapolis. MORE OF THIS!" Sortor posted to X on Sunday, "Consequences must be STEEP!"
