Oversight Project Releases Bombshell Findings on Anti-American Riots in Minneapolis
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 27, 2026
Washington, D.C.– The Oversight Project, utilizing its combined 60-plus years of federal law enforcement experience, has done a deep dive into the radical left’s tactics of obstructing and assaulting federal law enforcement in Minneapolis. The results are alarming.
First, we obtained logs of Signal chats where anti-ICE activists tracked, followed, and sent personnel to harass federal law enforcement to the location where Alex Pretti was shot. We discovered an account in the chat that appears to have been Alex Pretti. These chats support other evidence that Pretti was actively involved in obstructing immigration enforcement prior to his death. We also obtained video evidence of activists locking out federal agents of a donut shop. One of the agents in the video appears to be involved in the altercation with Pretti. If the alias account we discovered does indeed belong to Pretti, these communications show his real time movement and actions prior to his deadly altercation with federal law enforcement. They also show the organization in which these anti-ICE activists dox, follow, and disrupt federal agents enforcing immigration law.
Second, we discovered that Russell Pittman, a self-declared Antifa member, suggested wearing a “suicide vest” to activists to put themselves in the way of federal agents to combat deportations. It is evident that the radical left’s tactic is the Democratic version of jihad. Republicans must not back down from mass deportations or negotiate with domestic terrorism.
Third, Oversight Project investigators used their over 60 combined years of law enforcement experience to clear the Customs and Border Patrol officer involved in the shooting of Alex Pretti.
Oversight President Mike Howell offered this statement:
“These violent and organized attacks on immigration enforcement officials are an assault on democracy. The laws of the land, passed through our constitutional process, don’t allow for illegal immigration. We just had a presidential election affirming that the American People want those laws vigorously enforced, after a large scale invasion during the Biden years. Our leaders should not allow a rioter’s veto to limit, in any way, immigration enforcement. Too many in this country have taken the bait of a fake narrative about the organized street action obstructing ICE and CBP. Our findings show the truth. If summer soldier law-and-order Republicans don’t have the guts to stand up for the most basic constitutional principles, then they should find new lines of work. The fancy leftists they’re trying to impress with their cowardly supplication will never like them anyways.”
