Independent journalist Nick Sortor said Monday that Minneapolis police failed to respond as a hostile mob surrounded his vehicle.
Independent journalists Sortor and Cam Higbyfleda mob attack while covering antiimmigration enforcement protests in Minneapolis Sunday, laterpostingvideosof the confrontation on X, which appeared to show a left-wing streamerencouragingthe crowd. Sortor on The Ingraham Angle said he stayed on the phone with Minneapolis police as the situation escalated, repeatedly warning dispatchers that he faced an imminent threat.
We were on the phone with Minneapolis police, and I was telling them, You got to get here. You got to get here because Im not going to have a choice. If they try to disable my vehicle or they break a window, I have to go,' Sortor told host Laura Ingraham.
Sortor said Minneapolis police failed to respond despite repeated pleas for help.
You guys need to get here and do something. And of course, they didnt show up. No, of course not. They never show up, Sortor added.
Sortor said he gave the crowd ample warning to clear away from his vehicle before the situation turned dangerous.
I gave them 15 minutes of warning to get out of the way, and I feel like that was more than enough time to, you know, finally disperse out from the front of my vehicle, Sortor said.
The confrontation took place as Sortor and Higby were covering the protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that intensified following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
The problem is were in Tim Walzs Minnesota, and every minute were here [increases] the risk hes going to take us as political prisoners, Sortorposted. Sortor alsosaidhe believed Walz would rather us just die instead of taking action to stop the rioters.
The Minneapolis Police Department did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundations request for comment.
