In the long-running series that might as well be titled The Worse It Gets, The Worse It Gets, Minneapolis has managed to sink even lower. This time, the chaos spilled far beyond chanting and vandalism and into something far more dangerous: the targeted doxxing and threatening of a federal agent and that agent’s child. The FBI has now arrested a man accused of doing exactly that after sensitive information was stolen from government vehicles during an anti-ICE protest in the city.
Many will remember the footage from several weeks ago showing protesters breaking into FBI vehicles after agents were forced to evacuate the area for their own safety while investigating the shooting of an illegal immigrant.
What the images didn’t immediately show was the scale of the damage done afterward. Inside those vehicles were documents that protesters allegedly stole and then posted online, including rosters containing FBI employees’ phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, and even copies of driver’s licenses.
FOX NEWS ALERT: A man has been arrested by the FBI for doxxing and threatening a federal agent and his child using information stolen from a government vehicle in Minneapolis.

The consequences were immediate and chilling. According to court records, within a day, between 10 and 15 FBI officers and employees began receiving threatening phone calls, emails, texts, and even suspicious drive-bys at their homes. One agent alone was contacted by roughly two dozen different individuals. The messages were not vague or rhetorical. They referenced parents, children, and home addresses. One threatened to firebomb a specific residence. Others made it clear they knew exactly where families lived.
As if that weren’t enough, investigators say someone tracked down the Facebook account of a special agent’s child and sent a message mocking the exposure of the family’s personal information. That detail moves this from political protest into outright intimidation. Targeting children is not activism; it is moral rot.
Federal investigators traced several of the threatening communications to Jose Ramirez, a man living outside Chicago in Schaumburg, Illinois. According to the criminal complaint, Ramirez has a lengthy criminal history that includes domestic battery, burglary, and mob action. He has now been charged with doxxing and threatening a federal agent.
Records also show that more than a decade ago, Ramirez was the subject of a harassment complaint after allegedly threatening to shoot a coworker at a shopping mall. No charges were filed then. He continued to rack up encounters with law enforcement and was apparently living under an alias when traced in this case.
That history raises an obvious question. How does someone with repeated violent threats and criminal behavior remain free to escalate until federal agents and their families are forced to take extraordinary security precautions? The answer lies in a justice system that talks endlessly about compassion while practicing near-total indifference to public safety.
