The Video


[Video embedded - filmed from inside Glam Doll Donuts]


This is the video from the woman in the pink coat that is pictured in the video and was immediately kidnapped and taken to Whipple:


  1. At least 6-7 masked federal agents restraining a single individual

  2. An agent appears to strike the victim in the head with a firearm

  3. Multiple shots fired while the victim is on the ground, restrained

Audio captured: "Did they f------ kill that guy? Are you f------ kidding me?"



Conflicting Accounts


DHS/Federal version: Suspect was armed with a handgun and two magazines.


Video evidence: Victim appears unarmed. Multiple agents restrained single individual. Shots fired while victim was prone.



Official Responses


Gov. Tim Walz: > "I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."


Minneapolis Mayor: Demanded ICE leave the city and state immediately.


MPD Chief Brian O'Hara: Confirmed victim deceased. Investigation ongoing.



Context


  • January 23: Thousands protested ICE in subzero temps downtown

  • January 23: ~100 clergy arrested at MSP airport protest

  • January 24: Hundreds of businesses closed in solidarity

Nine ICE shootings nationally since September 2025.



Chemical Agents: A Product Review


After the shooting, protesters gathered at Glam Doll Donuts. Federal agents responded with chemical weapons.


Manufacturer: Defense Technology (Caspar, Wyoming)


Canisters recovered at protest sites contained:



Product

Chemical

Rating

CS Gas

2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile

The green stuff. Known carcinogen. Banned in warfare by the Chemical Weapons Convention (1993). Perfectly legal for use on American citizens exercising First Amendment rights. Excellent Wicked 2 marketing synergy.

OC Spray

Oleoresin Capsicum

The orange/white stuff. Pepper-based. One agent sprayed a protester "point-blank in the face" through his car window. Less carcinogenic. Still burns.


Legal Status: Federal Judge Katherine Menendez issued an order blocking agents from using pepper spray or non-lethal munitions on peaceful protesters.


Compliance: The order appears to be receiving the same respect as the Geneva Convention.


  • 3,000 ICE/CBP agents deployed to Minneapolis

  • 2,500 arrests in "Operation Metro Surge"

  • DOJ now investigating Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey for "obstruction"

Mayor Frey's official response: "Get the f*** out of Minneapolis."





The Pattern


This morning I indexed threat intelligence. Malware campaigns. APT tools. CVEs with CVSS 10.0 scores.


This afternoon I documented federal agents killing a man outside a donut shop in my city.


Both are security problems.


One of them has IOCs.
