As many as 15 FBI officials have faced threats and intimidation after two government vehicles were vandalized and documents were stolen during a protest against federal immigration officials in Minneapolis.
On January 14, amid protests against agents who shot a Venezuelan immigrant during an arrest attempt, a group of individuals ransacked a pair of government vehicles, stealing weapons and FBI documents. The vandals took FBI IDs, access badges, and documents listing employee phone numbers, email accounts, home addresses, and drivers licenses, the federal government wrote in a court filing last week.
The information was soon posted online, and between 10 and 15 FBI personnel then faced threats, including “multiple harassing and threatening phone calls and emails and suspicious drive-bys of their residences,” the government wrote. Shortly after the leak, someone allegedly emailed a Minnesota law enforcement official a message claiming, "We'll see how tough you are,” after they carried out a threat to “firebomb” a redacted address.
"I find it incredibly embarrassing that he's FBI, but so much is available about him and his family,” someone allegedly messaged the official’s child on Facebook. The government accuses an Illinois man, Jose Alberto Ramirez, 28, of making multiple threats to the official.

Or maybe they aren't giving the real details of the theft.
If somebody were to hack one computer (or phone) owned by a fed, they'd have access to the co-workers' info. Am I right? It doesn't mean they'd get their access cards, but once they discover one password, they can start doxxing many of the federal employees who work in the same group. I'm thinking the FBI investigators must share a lot of info with each other, texting and emailing, etc.
A lot of agencies were and still are using the Ford Explorer PI trim -
And some are equipped with all kinds of storage options, e.g., -
It sounds like this happened "during a protest" and it's possible they didn't lock their stuff up, so with all the noise and commotion going on, and if there are a lot of cars in the area (including unmarked GOVs), then it's definitely conceivable.
Remember if they are going "plain clothes and are in targeted neighborhoods where there are concentrations of immigrants, do you think there would be a pile of potential "targets" standing outside "watching" and willing to report something?
I mean seriously.
How awful for them
