![EXCLUSIVE: Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining. Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded. Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant. “My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.” The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee. Lee emphasized to Alpha News that the group’s political views were mixed, but said the encounter left some of them reconsidering their positions. “One of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2012610307663802819/amplify_video_thumb/2012609481025232896/img/yY7MGpZQHh_yg5IR.jpg)

🚨 BREAKING: Minnesota Republican governor candidate Mike Lindell is facing criticism after the Washington Examiner reported that he supports "six-month amnesty for illegal immigrants" A few weeks ago, Lindell told local media that under his proposal, anyone who's here "that is an illegal immigrant" would be able to get a "conditional nonresident visa." "You're not a citizen, but you don't have to leave, ever, "as long as a couple of things happen," Lindell said. Lindell said this would lead to an increase in tax revenue. "You take that money and you use it to legalize people," he said. Lindell's primary opponent, Lisa Demuth, said she "would expect this from Amy Klobuchar and Tim Walz, but I’m surprised to see it coming from a fellow GOP candidate for governor." "I will work with the federal government to deport criminal illegal immigrants instead of giving them amnesty,” she said. What do you think of Lindell's idea?

WATCH: Mike Lindell blasts Amy Klobuchar at Farmfest, says Minnesota is in a "spiritual battle of evil and good of biblical proportions." Lindell also says Klobuchar used to agree with him on election fraud. "She went after the machines ... She went after this fraud but then she stopped after the 2020 election ... What did Amy do since then? Amy went to Washington, brings back $20 billion to our state only to have it shipped off to Somalia. That's not a good steward of our money."

🚨WATCH: A Minnesota millionaire tells lawmakers that he legally received SNAP benefits "My wife and I received nearly $6,000 of SNAP benefits over a 19-month period ... my wife and I received these benefits as a wealthy couple because eligibility in Minnesota is based on income only, not assets," Rob Undersander said while testify in support of a SNAP reform bill. "When we have nearly 1 in 7 Americans receiving food stamps in the wealthiest nation on earth with historically low unemployment rates, something is wrong ... one might call the current eligibility rules fraud by design."

🚨 BREAKING: Jay Swanson, a former state trooper who investigated child care fraud in Minnesota, provides damning testimony to the House fraud committee Scammers would "say they first heard about it while in the refugee camp in Kenya ... they had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota." Swanson then detailed the retaliation he says he faced from Department of Human Services leaders and said he was told to delete some of his answers to an inquiry from the legislative auditor. "I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs ... I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal." "I told them that the fraud was so huge that sooner or later it would come to light."
