Journalist Ami Horowitz went to an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this week and asked demonstrators for donations to support a fake group he said would raise money to buy guns, ammunition, and bomb-making equipment to kill ICE agents.
According to Horowitz, the responses were alarming.
Horowitz told the crowd of leftists:
“I want to raise money for weapons.
“I want to go after ICE.
“We need money for weapons, for bombs.
“We need to fight back against these animals.”
“I’m with you,” a woman replied.
In another moment, one demonstrator appeared to recognize the potential consequences of discussing violence on camera.
The “protester” then asked Horowitz whether he should turn off the live feed while they continued talking about a violent uprising.
Horowitz said the crowd agreed it “takes weapons, explosives, and blowing sh*t up” to fight the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.
The anti-ICE mob argued that they “gotta f***ing kill these motherf***ers.”
“I think we have to start killing people, frankly,” Horowitz said.
“Right,” one leftist replied.

Horowitz also reported that he raised almost $200 in less than thirty minutes at the demonstration.
The people who gave money believed they were supporting violent action, underscoring how extreme the sentiments are among some “protesters.”
These interactions come amid weeks of intense demonstrations in Minneapolis following multiple confrontations between federal agents and local residents.
The situation escalated further after the high-profile fatal shooting of anti-ICE activist Renée Good earlier this month.
Good was shot by an ICE agent who she rammed with her vehicle during a confrontation as she tried to block an enforcement operation.
The deployment of thousands of federal immigration agents as part of Operation Metro Surge has drawn criticism from local Democrat leaders and radical activists alike.
Federal officials maintain the operations are focused on criminal elements and public safety.
However, the footage obtained by Horowitz suggests that for at least some participants in the demonstrations, hostility toward law enforcement has crossed a dangerous threshold, from protest to talk of violent rebellion.
