Leftist protests erupted across Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot a woman who tried to ram federal officers with her vehicle.
The media portrayed the demonstrators as outraged citizens standing up for justice.
But Laura Ingraham asked a Minneapolis protestor one question that revealed this scary truth.
Fox Host Exposes What Media Won't Admit About "Organic" Protests
Fox News host Laura Ingraham headed to Minneapolis to report from the latest left-wing outrage operation.
Hundreds of protesters surrounded the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on January 7.
The Department of Homeland Security said Good tried to weaponize her Honda Pilot to run over federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz immediately sided with the protesters, with Frey telling ICE to "get the f*** out of Minneapolis."
The woman had been marching through the crowd screaming "shame" and profanity at officers.
Ingraham approached her with cameras rolling and asked a basic question most journalists refuse to ask.
"Do you have a job?"
You won't believe what the protester said next.
"I'm getting paid right now," the woman said.
Ingraham asked why her face was covered.
The protester claimed it was because her "nose is cold" — despite standing in the middle of coordinated demonstrations against federal law enforcement.
The accidental admission went viral immediately, racking up millions of views across social media.
Money Trail Leads Back to Same Left-Wing Network
The New York Post reported that far-left organizations are bankrolling the Minneapolis demonstrations.
Indivisible Twin Cities is funding the protests.
That's a local branch of the anti-Trump Indivisible Project based in Washington, D.C.
Soros' Open Society Foundations poured millions into the Indivisible Project over a five-year period ending in 2023.
The same network organized the "No Kings" protests that erupted across the country last year.
Ingraham discovered that protesters became openly hostile when she tried asking basic questions.
"If you actually go into the mix and try to chat with people, you end up getting escorted out," Ingraham explained. "And they kind of nicely, but aggressively, escort you out across their border."
Protesters held up their middle fingers as Ingraham and her crew drove away.
The Minneapolis Public School District canceled classes citing "safety concerns" — conveniently giving teachers and school employees the day off to join the protests.
Video footage from a press conference showed protesters being coached on where to stand before cameras started rolling.
One protester laughed with a media member while another said the whole scene "reminds me of theater."
Democrats Created This Chaos to Attack Trump's Immigration Enforcement
Trump deployed 2,000 federal agents to the Minneapolis area as part of the largest immigration enforcement operation in history.
The surge came in response to both illegal immigration and Minnesota's massive welfare fraud scandal that Democrats tried to hide.
Minneapolis has become a sanctuary city where illegal aliens face no consequences — until Trump sent ICE to enforce federal law.
Frey claimed ICE was "sowing chaos on our streets" while his own policies created the environment where illegal aliens could operate with impunity.
Walz ordered the Minnesota National Guard to prepare for deployment — not to support federal law enforcement, but potentially to interfere with ICE operations.
Left-wing groups funded by Soros deploy paid protesters to create chaos.
Democrat officials attack federal agents and defend those breaking immigration law.
The media frames ICE as villains while ignoring the fact that Good blocked federal officers for hours before trying to run them over with her vehicle.
Now there’s video evidence that protesters are literally on the clock, getting paid to manufacture outrage against Trump's immigration enforcement.
The Left used this same playbook during the 2020 riots and every other "spontaneous" demonstration that conveniently advances Democrat political objectives.
Trump isn't backing down.
ICE continues conducting operations across Minneapolis despite the organized resistance.
Thanks to Laura Ingraham's simple question, Americans now have proof that these aren't organic demonstrations — they're paid political theater designed to stop Trump from securing the border and enforcing immigration law.
