The FBI and our federal and local partners are executing search and arrest warrants this morning throughout the Twin Cities area in connection with a violent drug trafficking organization. Details will be provided later today. There is no known threat to public safety.
@KeithEl47227339 Hey, Keith! I work for 5 Eyewitness News. Wondering if we could use this video on air and online with credit to you? We tried to find this on Wednesday but our photographer had a hard time spotting it with the snow. We went back out today and will be sharing some video tonight.
On Instagram, Minneapolis journalist and anchor Jana Shortal of @kare11 - clearly wearing a press credentials - says she was pepper sprayed and punched in the eye by federal agents while trying to capture the aftermath of today’s fatal shooting.
BREAKING: MN U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar filed paperwork today to create a campaign committee to run for governor in 2026. A source close to the senator tells me: “This is a preliminary step necessary for any candidate considering a run.” A formal announcement to happen soon. @KSTP
@DHSgov Can you please explain how an agent can have 'reasonable suspicion' of someone's immigration status without basing it on their skin color, race or ethnicity?
False. A person’s immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity.
Law enforcement uses ‘reasonable suspicion’ to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already ruled that such actions are in line with the Constitution.
I spent more than a decade as a prosecutor, serving as both acting U.S. Attorney and First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota. I have never seen anything like this.
The mass resignation of nonpolitical career prosecutors should concern all Minnesotans.
I went back and reviewed @nickshirleyy video alongside photos from the actual locations. Once you line everything up, the story changes.
At Quality Learning Child Care, the hours are posted right on the door. 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
In the video, the visit happens before 2:00 PM. The sign is not shown. The camera lingers on a closed door, and viewers are left to assume something is wrong.
Later in the same video, the creator is inside a completely different building. The Griggs Midway Building. The directory screen is on camera, and it clearly shows the time. 2:33 PM.
That detail matters.
It confirms the filming was happening throughout the early afternoon. Which means the earlier closed visit was not evidence of fraud or a shell operation. It was evidence of someone showing up before businesses opened.
These are different locations, but the same technique. Leave out hours. Skip timestamps. Let implication do the work.
This is why timelines matter. This is why context matters. When you remove those pieces, you are not investigating. You are shaping a narrative.
And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
Credit to Destiny (@TheOmniLiberal) for catching this and laying out the timeline.
@Minneapolis_ATC@KBEMfm Thank you! Were you flying out of the Flying Cloud Airport when you captured this? We'd like some more context to help better explain this video!
@HaywerdJablomi Hey @HaywerdJablomi -- KSTP-TV in Minneapolis would like to use your video for on air and online. With permission, we would share the video with your name for credit. Thanks!
