Nick Sortor, the investigative journalist whose videos have pulled back the curtain on much of the illegal alien industry in America, was attacked by rioters in Minneapolis on Sunday, getting blasted with death threats even as his vehicle was vandalized by an out-of-control mob.
Rioters even called police on Sortor, and his associate, Cam Higby, falsely claiming the two had weapons.
BREAKING: @CamHigby and I were just SURROUNDED by leftists simply for existing outside the ICE facility in Minneapolis
These disgusting pigs started pushing trash into my windows and all over the hood, and one spit on my window.
Thank GOD federal agents were nearby, or this… pic.twitter.com/aYYgECt5tl

Sortor documented the attack, which happened as leftists have continued to riot in Minneapolis over the shooting death by ICE last week of a woman who drove her vehicle at ICE agents.
Sortor documents how he was surrounded by “leftists” outside an ICE facility in Minneapolis, and the “disgusting pigs” pushed trash through his car windows and spit at him.
Higby documented how federal agents, nearby during the attack, deployed “tear gas and pepper balls.”

At the same time, he promised he would never “go away” or shut up.

Also revealed by others on the scene were how an agitator “attempts to incite a street brawl, harassing Nick Sortor.”

And the resulting vandalism was documented:
Damage done to Nick Sortor’s vehicle by Mayor Jacob Frey’s “peaceful” protesters.
This is ridiculous.
Nick could’ve been k*lled.
Frey needs to resign immediately.
He’s been inciting this carnage for years.pic.twitter.com/gbPIeRCbFz

Sortor described how the “weapons of choice” included pro-frozen water bottles thrown through his car window, breaking it.
THIS is one of the weapons of choice leftist rioters tried to kiII @CamHigby and me with tonight
Frozen water bottles. Classic Antifa.
Which means SOMEBODY was freezing them beforehand and gave them to rioters to use as weapons
They’re rock solid
FBI MUST INVESTIGATE NOW! pic.twitter.com/lvhkVyvzZd

And they sprayed-painted his vehicle.
The “peaceful protestors” are at it again.
Surrounding my vehicle. Breaking my windows. Spray painting the car.
Telling @camhigby and I over and over that they’re going to kiII us.
We are safe.
But police have *US* detained because rioters called 911 on *US*
NOT SHUTTING UP! pic.twitter.com/vtosAOB3Hv

He confirmed he was safe but detained “because rioters called 911…”
HOLY SMOKES. Vehicle with journalists Nick Sortor and Cam Higby ACCELERATES AWAY from a violent leftist MOB attacking them and smashing their windows in Minneapolis
“They smashed our windows and tagged the car. We believe we were followed down the interstate,” @CamHigby said… pic.twitter.com/QJWPWXg3x1
