Overview
- Vice President J.D. Vance claimed two off-duty federal agents were doxxed, locked inside a Minneapolis restaurant, and denied help by local police until federal reinforcements arrived.
- The Minneapolis Police Department said it monitored the situation, judged resources sufficient, and recorded the agents leaving within roughly 15 minutes of the initial 911 call.
- MPD added that a vehicle was temporarily left behind and that officers watched it until the agents returned to recover it.
- A DHS report described a crowd of about 30, alleged that a woman locked the doors, and said the agents were extracted in about nine minutes, while DHS stated Vance’s account was accurate.
- Darbar India Grill & Bar manager Bali Singh disputed the door-locking claim and said his security cameras showed no such action, offering a different timeline of events at the restaurant.
