MINNEAPOLIS (TNND) — FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information related to vandalism and theft of federal property in Minneapolis.
Patel said the alleged crimes occurred on Wednesday night after DHS announced a federal officer shot an illegal immigrant in the leg because he was attacked with a shovel or broom while the officer was trying to make an arrest
“If you harm law enforcement or destroy / steal federal property, this @FBI will not hesitate to pursue you, find you, and bring you to the fullest extent of justice,” Patel wrote on X.
Patel’s social media post included an FBI flyer, with the agency noting that several government vehicles were broken into and vandalized. The flyer also noted that government property was stolen, as well.
Three photos were posted in the flyer, including one that appeared to show broken glass on the driver’s seat of a federal vehicle. Other images showed explicit language spray-painted on the vehicles.
Patel previously announced that a suspect was arrested after he smashed windows at the Minneapolis Courthouse during a protest following the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good last week. Patel identified the suspect as Georgio James-Jones, of Minneapolis.
Video shared on social media appears to show James-Jones, as well as several other ICE rioters who were seen pounding on the doors of the Diana E. Murphy federal courthouse.
“ICE out now,” the protesters are heard yelling as they bang on the windows and revolving door.
A little more than one-minute into the video, glass is heard shattering. There is a brief pause in the chanting before the group resumes hollering, blowing whistles and banging drums.

“As we’ve said repeatedly — if you attack law enforcement, impede their operations, or engage in violent destructive behavior, this FBI will find you and bring you to justice,” Patel wrote on X.
