Minnesota Antifa militant calls for armed riots against ICE after Alex Pretti shooting: 'Get your f*cking guns'

A self-described Antifa militant wearing a bulletproof vest publicly called on others in Antifa to mobilize and “suit up” in Minneapolis, urging violence against law enforcement and federal immigration authorities amid escalating unrest in the city.

The individual, identified as Kyle and using the Instagram handle @Kaos.follows, posted a video of himself smoking while wearing a plate carrier and addressing his followers after the shooting of Alex Pretti.

“They f*cked up, okay?” he said. “It’s time to suit up. Boots on the ground.” He directed followers to a specific Minneapolis neighborhood, telling antifa members to “show up” and “be ready to go.”

“Not talking about peaceful protests anymore. We’re not talking about having polite conversations anymore,” he said.

“Sorry, but welcome to America 2026 where the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s gonna keep you f*cking protected from literal f*cking NAZI gunmen that are killing innocent people in the street with impunity. This is not a f*cking joke, there is nothing to chant about it, get your f*cking guns and stop these f*cking people.”

The post comes as chaos in Minneapolis has intensified following a fatal shooting involving a Department of Homeland Security agent during an operation to apprehend an illegal immigrant with a criminal history. According to Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, agents were approached by an individual carrying a handgun. Agents attempted to disarm the individual, and after those efforts failed, an agent fired “defensive shots.”

It remains unclear whether the Trump administration is currently taking action in response to calls for violence by self-described Antifa members on social media. In September, President Donald Trump signed an executive order labeling Antifa a “terrorist threat.”

The order stated, “All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support, including necessary investigatory and prosecutorial actions against those who fund such operations.”
