Rep. Randy Fine calls for inquiry into left-wing groups targeting ICE agents in Minnesota
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
EXCLUSIVE – Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is calling for a federal investigation into what he describes as organized left-wing groups operating in Minnesota, arguing they played a central role in unrest surrounding federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Fine said the demonstrations that followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, coming just weeks after another Immigration and Customs Enforcement-related killing in the city, were not spontaneous protests but the result of coordinated activist networks that he believes warrant further scrutiny.
“It appears you’ve got organized militias engaged in this direction, and that’s not OK,” Fine said. “These are not spontaneous public protests. These are paramilitary organizations, and they need to be investigated and put down.”
Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, was fatally shot during an altercation with Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. At the time of the incident, Pretti was recording a federal immigration operation and intervened before being taken to the ground by agents and repeatedly shot.
Pretti’s death came amid rising tensions between federal authorities and protesters who have been tracking immigration raids, after an ICE agent earlier this month fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good during a similar encounter.
Despite freezing temperatures, hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in the days following Pretti’s death, intensifying a standoff between Minnesota officials, federal agents, and activists opposed to the administration’s immigration crackdown.
Fine pointed to reports that protesters were communicating through encrypted platforms and mobilizing rapidly at enforcement sites as evidence of broader coordination rather than organic demonstrations.
“This is all organized. It’s all funded,” Fine said. “What we really need to do is expose the protest scam so Americans understand what they’re seeing.”
A Fox News Digital investigation reported that far-left activists used encrypted messaging apps, street alerts, and coordinated tracking tools to mobilize at the Minneapolis location where Pretti was killed, indicating they were already on scene minutes before the confrontation escalated. According to that report, ICE and Border Patrol agents were attempting to arrest an undocumented criminal, while protesters gathered outside a nearby doughnut shop as part of a broader effort to interfere …
