The protests in Minnesota are getting old. It is pretty common knowledge that these are paid protesters. They may be sincere, but they are paid. I am not going to mention the insanity of protesting in Minnesota during the winter. I guess they are getting paid well. Obviously, the way to end the protests (which long ago passed the point of peaceful protest) is to find the source of the funds that are paying them. That seems to be happening.

On Monday, The Epoch Times reported:

FBI Director Kash Patel said more arrests are coming in Minnesota in the midst of a federal operation and local protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and said the bureau has made progress in its investigation of groups who are allegedly funding the demonstrations.

Speaking to podcaster Benny Johnson on Monday, the FBI director said the bureau is investigating alleged group funding of ongoing protests against ICE officials in Minneapolis, coming in the wake of two shootings this month that left protesters dead.

“We’ve got also investigations ongoing into the funding of this. We’ve made substantial progress,“ he said. ”We’ve actually found groups and individuals responsible for funding it ‘cause it’s not happening organically.”

Also in the interview, Patel said four people were arrested earlier this month after a federal vehicle was broken into in Minneapolis. He said that another person was arrested on Sunday.

“In a vehicle, we discovered not just [FBI] firearms, which thankfully we recovered, but also personal information about law enforcement,” Patel told Johnson. “That personal information was being used on the ground to issue threats of life to FBI agents, along with their wives and their children. There are going to be more arrests on that same matter, today and tomorrow. We’re not done.”
