(DCNF)—Independent journalist Nick Sortor’s $1,000 camera was abruptly stolen Sunday as he was reporting on riots by protesters opposed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minneapolis, according to video taken by another independent journalist, Cam Higby.
Sortor and Higby survived a Monday attack in the Minneapolis area, during which a mob surrounded their vehicle, vandalized it and threatened to kill them. Higby and Sortor both posted to X about the incident, during which the allegedly Somali suspects sped down an icy sidewalk in their car with Sortor’s hand caught in a door handle while he was trying to retrieve his camera.
“Somali thugs in Minneapolis just stole @nicksortor‘s camera and then fled from him by driving down an icy sidewalk,” Higby posted. “Bystanders insisted we have to leave, and don’t belong in Minnesota. They followed Sortor’s vehicle for roughly 30 minutes, honking.”
Higby also posted a photo of the car the apparent thieves used to get away.
“A group of Somali thugs just ROBBED me of my $1,000 camera in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis,” Sortor said. “They then DRAGGED ME DOWN THE STREET as my hand got trapped in their door handle NOBODY bothered helping DHS MUST RAID THIS PLACE!”
The FBI Rapid Response account on X responded to Sortor’s post Sunday night.
“We’re on it,” the post said, drawing praise from Sortor.
“The FBI is now involved in the investigation of the Somalis who robbed me of my $1,000 camera and dragged me down the sidewalk LET’S GO!!! We will NOT surrender to these thugs! Thank you, @FBIDirectorKash and @FBI_Response!” Sortor posted.
ICE deployed hundreds of agents to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area following reports of welfare fraud in Minnesota. Officials estimate the fraud has cost taxpayers at least $9 billion, with some of the proceeds allegedly going to the Somalia-based radical Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab. Violent opposition to the agency’s operations increased after an ICE agent wounded one of three illegal immigrants who ambushed him.
Sortor and other conservative journalists were also attacked by anti-ICE rioters while covering the violent protests at an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, in October. Notably, Sortor was arrested by Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers on a disorderly conduct charge, according to multiple posts on X.
Jorge Ventura, reporting for the Daily Caller News Foundation, recorded video of a left-wing mob attacking an attendee of internet provocateur Jake Lang’s protest who was hit in the head repeatedly, and was bleeding from at least one head wound. Ventura also captured a photo of a masked individual holding what appeared to be an AR-15 pistol at a demonstration, as well as video of a member of the left-wing mob cursing at law enforcement officers.
Lang posted Saturday on X that one of the left-wing rioters stabbed him when his protest was attacked, but said he avoided injury due to wearing body armor.

How to Prepare for Food Emergencies if You Don’t Have a Homestead or Bunker
In an unpredictable world, where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, or economic instability can strike without warning, having a reliable food supply is more than just smart—it’s essential for survival. Whether you’re a “prepper” or not, we all know the golden rule: self-sufficiency is key. But what if you’re living in an apartment, working long hours, or simply don’t have the land to turn into a thriving homestead? Don’t worry; there’s a practical, effective way to build your food security without needing acres of soil or a fortified bunker.
The Ideal Prep: Building Your Own Food Empire
The ultimate dream for any serious prepper is controlling your own food production. Imagine waking up to a sprawling garden bursting with fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs—tomatoes ripening on the vine, potatoes ready to harvest, and greens that provide nutrition year-round. Add in livestock like chickens for eggs and meat, and you’ve got a self-sustaining system that keeps your family fed no matter what chaos unfolds outside.
This approach isn’t just about calories; it’s about resilience. A well-maintained garden can yield hundreds of pounds of produce annually, while a small flock of chickens might produce dozens of eggs weekly. It’s empowering, cost-effective in the long run, and teaches invaluable skills like crop rotation, animal husbandry, and preservation techniques. If you have the space, time, and resources, starting small and scaling up is the best path to true independence.
The Reality Check: Not Everyone Can Homestead
But let’s face it—not all of us are in a position to go full homesteader. Urban dwellers might be limited to a balcony or community plot that’s far from sufficient for long-term needs. Busy professionals juggling jobs, families, and daily life often lack the hours required for daily tending. And for those in apartments, condos, or regions with harsh climates, raising livestock or maintaining a large garden simply isn’t feasible. Factors like zoning laws, soil quality, water access, or even physical limitations can make this ideal out of reach.
That’s where the frustration sets in. You want to be prepared, but without a homestead or bunker, how do you ensure your pantry doesn’t run dry during a prolonged crisis? The good news is, you don’t have to sacrifice your preparedness goals. There’s a smart, accessible alternative that bridges the gap: investing in high-quality, long-term storage food.
