In the wake of the ongoing Minnesota Somali fraud investigation and the fueled spike in anti-ICE demonstrations and protests, one Fox News star just uncovered a NEW scandal gripping the North Star State.
And his discovery could be just the tip of the iceberg of how left-wing agitators in Minnesota are getting away with now targeting innocent civilians.
Fox News National Correspondent Matt Finn discovered a disturbing anti-ICE database that could soon come under the radar of the Department of Justice (DOJ), who is already investigating the wide spread fraud happening in Minnesota.
According to Finn, who was recently onsite covering anti-ICE protests in the Minneapolis area, his rental car was flagged as “confirmed ICE” in a database used to target ICE agents.
Finn posted his account on X, saying: “So here’s one for ya. One of our rental car license plate numbers has been added to the anti-ICE databases in Minnesota and our car has been deemed “confirmed ICE.” The activists take license plates down and enter them into data bases. It’s not clear which encounter with protestors resulted in our plate being posted. We’ve had people take pictures of our license plate a few times.”

Covering tense protests comes with dangers. However, Finn also noted the danger that these databases bring to the general public, also noting:
“So what happens to the person (perhaps family with kids) that have our rental car next?”
This rogue database could lead to innocent people being harassed, pulled over, or accosted.
Targeting actual, or supposed, ICE vehicles is common right now. With protesters inflicting serious property damage to government vehicles (or personal vehicles). Take a look at a snippet of what’s already happening:

The targeting of supposed citizens connected to ICE in the Minneapolis area reached a tipping point over the weekend when a group of rabid protesters invading a church in St. Paul and disrupting the service because they believed that one of the pastors had a connection to ICE.
The Trump administration has vowed to launch an investigation after the unrest on Sunday.
“I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
“If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails,” she added.
Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, said she and her team are “hard at work” investigating the incident.
“We will not rest until we are able to deliver justice,” Dhillon said in a statement.
