There are a multitude of stories emerging from the ongoing unrest in Minnesota, but the Elitist Media have settled on one of them to put forward in furtherance of narrative at the expense of other, more inconvenient stories. One of those stories remained hidden from the broadcast nightly news until tonight.
Per Minneapolis’ own Fox 9:
Two women have been charged after allegedly biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol agents in the moments that followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Claire Louise Feng, 27, of St. Paul, is charged with assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Emily Duchateau Baierl, 37, was also charged with assault.
According to charges, around 9:25 a.m., Feng allegedly tackled a border patrol agent who was attempting to arrest another woman. At that point, a second agent attempted to pull Feng away, and took her to the ground – at which point she "forcibly bit the right ring finger of [the second agent]." The injury left the agent with a tip of his finger bitten off, charges allege.
The report goes on to note that Baierl was busted for biting the finger of an agent that caught her throwing stuff at other agents.
Although these incidents happened shortly after the shooting of Pretti, there was no mention of them until tonight’s NBC Nightly News.

CAMILA BERNAL: Anti-ICE protesters surrounding a hotel where they believe federal officers were staying.
MINNESOTA STATE POLICE: I hereby declare this an unlawful assembly.
BERNAL: Police making 26 arrests. While tonight, two women have been charged with assaulting officers at a weekend protest. DHS saying one agent had his finger bitten off.
Absolutely nothing on the CBS Evening News, and nothing on ABC World News Tonight. In ABC’s case, the omission was more egregious because they did do a brief mention on yesterday’s Good Morning America First Look… at 4:37 in the morning. They knew better yet still chose to omit.
The story of Border Patrol agents getting bit by “anti-Ice protestors” is inconvenient and must therefore be deleted from public memory. It is, unfortunately counternarrative.
While we’re on the subject of narrative, it is time to consider that the continued labeling of these individuals as “anti-ICE protestors” is a blatant falsehood. Multiple reports speak to the levels of organization and coordination behind the actions taken by the well-organized and well-financed groups that have taken to the Minneapolis streets. There is further reporting detailing the sophistication of their communications. To continue to call these individuals “anti-ICE protesters” is to be complicit in helping conceal what they actually do from the public.

TOM LLAMAS: Now to newly revealed videos of the moments before the shooting in Minneapolis, including where we hear Alex Pretti's interaction with federal officers. Camilla Bernal now with the new footage.
CAMILA BERNAL: Tonight, new video showing more of the minutes before the shooting death of Alex Pretti, where you can see and hear him in a confrontation with federal officers who are trying to push him out of the street. DHS says officers were trying to arrest a suspect with a domestic assault conviction.
“PROTESTER:” I am the one out of the street, you’re the one who’s grabbing.
BERNAL: Protesters start gathering. Those new images following more clashes overnight. Anti-ICE protesters surrounding a hotel where they believe federal officers were staying.
MINNESOTA STATE POLICE: I hereby declare this an unlawful assembly.
BERNAL: Police making 26 arrests. While tonight, two women have been charged with assaulting officers at a weekend protest. DHS saying one agent had his finger bitten off. All as there are new reactions here to the news border czar Tom Homan will replace Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in Minneapolis.
“PROTESTER:” Continuing to do what was done previously with immigration enforcement is necessary, but I don't think that this level of it is reasonable.
BERNAL: And at the growing memorial at the shooting site, emotions remain high.
MOURNER: Incredibly angry. Incredibly angry.
MOURNER: I won't be able to breathe until they are all gone. That's how I feel.
LLAMAS: Camila joins us live. Camila, I know you have an update about that five-year-old who ended up in ICE custody last week after his father was arrested?
BERNAL: That's right, Tom. A federal judge in Texas has ruled that the 5-year-old named Liam and his father cannot be removed from the country, or even Texas,at least not for now. DHS at the time of the arrest said the father ran and abandoned the child. They also said they were in the country illegally. The family attorney disputes that and says the family was seeking asylum. Tom.
LLAMAS: Camila, thank you.
