I was forced to drive away to save our lives, repeatedly warning those standing in front to GET OUT OF THE WAY.… pic.twitter.com/lzPyuJWUFx
They then used vehicles to BLOCK US as we were running, forcing me to throw the truck off the road to go around them.
Then, it appears we were CHASED down the interstate by another one of their goons.
I have to post this now because these idiots called the police on me saying I had a gun and was “running innocent protestors over”
You can try to terrorize me all you want. BUT I WILL NEVER STOP, AND NEVER SHUT UP.
… To be clear: Nick Sortor did not initiate any physical contact with anyone.Nick and I fled to Eagan Police Department. They were very responsive, and helpful in keeping us safe and assisting following the attack.

We only left our vehicle when rioters assaulted or clashed with agents. Our job is to film. They would mob and attack us every time.
We did our best not to engage with them. Obviously they repeatedly initiated physical contact with us.
They boxed Nick and I in with their cars, in the same way that Renee Good boxed ICE officers in.
