A leftist protesting outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Minneapolis on Friday admitted on camera she was there because it is literally her job.
Video footage from conservative journalist Nick Sortor showed Fox News host Laura Ingraham talking to so-called “protesters” outside the facility. Ingram asked a woman wearing a red jacket and face covering if she had a job.
The woman, who kept shouting, “Shame! Shame!” finally answered Ingram’s question by stating, “I’m getting paid right now!” and Ingram reacted with a thumbs up:
🚨 LMAO! A “protestor” outside the Minneapolis ICE facility today ADMITTED to Laura @IngrahamAngle that it was her JOB to be there
PROTESTOR: “SHAME! SHAME!”
LAURA: “Do you have a job?!”
PROTESTOR: “I’m being paid RIGHT NOW!”
LAURA: 😆👍🏻
She’ll probably be fired now 🤣 pic.twitter.com/hKMjJvU2IR

They are stoking the grievance industry that they built.” (Read more: Breitbart News, 1/9/2026) (Archive)
