From Fox News: A group of software engineers were showered with insults and accused of being pedophiles after they were mistakenly accused of being U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while trying to eat lunch in Minneapolis.
The men – all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were eating lunch at Clancey’s Deli when one of them got a alert on an anti-Ice Signal chat telling members that plainclothes agents were at the restaurant, Alpha News reported.
The person who got the message on the “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” chat is aligned politically with the anti-ICE cause, one of the engineers who gave his name as Lee told the outlet.
“My friend was shocked. He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE,” Lee said.
Soon after the alert went out, dozens of anti-ICE agitators arrived at the restaurant. As the group left, the anti-ICE group pelted the engineers with insults.
“Next thing we know, people are yelling, ‘I hope you die,’ and calling us pedophiles,” said Lee.
“You’re a f—— bootlicker b—-” and “Get out of our f—— neighborhood” were some of the other gems hurled at the group.
