A group of men enjoying lunch at a Minneapolis deli were bullied by a surging mob who mistook them for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, video shows.

Five software engineers had been dining at Clancy's Deli when anti-ICE protesters gathered outside the restaurant's front windows and shouted obscenities at them.

'Get out of our f***ing neighborhood,' one protester was heard yelling in a clip obtained by Alpha News. Another shouted: 'If you're not with us, you're against us.'

One demonstrator even went as far as calling them pedophiles and another screamed 'I hope you die,' the news outlet reported.

A victim, known as Lee, claimed the mob's ringleader said the group, who are not affiliated with ICE, deserved to be harassed because they were 'white privileged males.'

He has alleged that the restaurant owner was responsible for the chaos by falsely claiming the group of software engineers were federal agents.

'You don't tell extremists that random customers are ICE agents. That's how people get hurt,' Lee said, adding how one of his friends feared they would be shot.

… Dozens of protesters assembled outside the restaurant after a message was sent in the 'SW Minneapolis Rapid Response' Signal chat claiming that plain-clothed ICE officers were dining there.

One of Lee's friends was in the chat and also received the message, which reportedly stated ICE's presence at the restaurant was 'confirmed by the owner.'

Lee claimed it only took 15 minutes for the massive mob to arrive at the deli.

… This is what's wrong with your guys' cause,' one of the engineers told the crowd, prompting a demonstrator to question if he would support them.

He replied: 'The way you guys are acting? No. And I don't support ICE either. I'm just trying to enjoy my lunch!'

Lee claimed that before the incident, one of the engineers was in support of ICE, one against and the others were on the fence.

'After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything,' he told Alpha News.

The ringleader of the mob that assaulted the Sunday morning service at St. Paul’s Cities Church yesterday has outed herself. There is no mystery. She has self-identified. Her name is Nekima Levy Armstrong.

In her pinned Facebook post (screenshot below), Ms. Armstrong not only identifies herself with reference to “our demonstration,” she names both individuals and groups who served as fellow organizers of the riot inside Cities Church. The named groups include Black Lives Matter Minnesota, Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, and the Racial Justice Network. Ms. Armstrong is herself the leader of the Racial Justice Network.

She describes herself as an award-winning attorney, scholar activist, past president of the Minneapolis NAACP, and former law professor at the University of St. Thomas Law School in Minneapolis. I overlapped with her when I taught as an adjunct law professot at the law school while I was also working full-time as senior vice president of TCF National Bank Minnesota and writing for Power Line. Ms. Armstrong left St. Thomas in 2016 to become a full-time “freedom fighter.”

Observers think that Ms. Armstrong’s involvement in the disruption of the church service yesterday may have constituted illegal misconduct. One criminal law that seems right on the money is 18 U.S.C. § 241.

The involvement of Black Lives Matter Minnesota and Black Lives Twin Cities is of particular interest. It takes us back to the summer of Saint George Floyd, when Minnesota residents came to town from from all over the state to participate in the torching of the Twin Cities. Rioters wanted to get in on the action while the getting was good.
