Yikes: Anti-ICE Crew Allegedly Assaults Journalist for Investigating Their Minneapolis 'Checkpoint'

If you didn't already think the anti-ICE folks had gone off the rails, the story I reported on earlier Monday indicated they were making an even more problematic move. They were setting up what they termed "community-driven checkpoints" in intersections in Minneapolis.
The idea is that they would thereby screen for and stop ICE agents from getting into their neighborhood. You know, almost like a border check. The irony was just off the charts.

Now, as I reported, this is a bad idea all around. Start with the fact that they shouldn't be doing that in the middle of the street; that's impeding traffic. Plus, it ticks off the regular people who have to drive through the neighborhood, and the activists are likely encounter people who are going to be very unhappy with what they're doing, which could lead to a confrontation. Police should be clearing them out, but it's Minneapolis, so the unhinged Democratic officials are in charge.
But the Daily Caller's Jorge Ventura encountered a problem when he went to report on a roadblock protesters set up where they were allegedly checking cars for IDs. Ventura is a long-term reporter on protester action, so he knows how to handle himself. But he said he was assaulted when he tried to get closer. He is stopped by men in masks. You can see him being shoved on camera.
They tried to intimate me and forced to leave by shoving , as a journalist I have the right to be here and report
He said they also tried to take his phone.
So again, I'm confused. There are mysterious men in masks asking for IDs and allegedly assaulting people? I thought that was supposed to be bad? Yet, these folks aren't even acting within the color of the law, like ICE, which has the right to arrest people. Yet they're mad at ICE? Who are the fascists? Make it make sense. "Mostly peaceful," right?
Where is the Left to come to Jorge's defense and talk about freedom of the press? Isn't that what we were hearing in regard to former CNN leftist pundit Don Lemon? I'm willing to bet we hear no such support for Ventura here.
This guy explained they'd run the plate and seemed to let them go, once they realized his Uber driver was a Somali.
I don't know what you call this, but anarchy springs to mind. The officials aren't holding these people to account, so who cares how it might hurt or affect the regular people in the neighborhood? Democrats should stop this. Now. But they won't.
It's unhinged, and more people are going to get hurt.
