Viral Video Misattributes Car Damage To Protesters
|
6.2
Snopes reports Feb. 2, 2026 that a viral video falsely claimed Minneapolis protesters broke dozens of car windows during a Jan. 30 anti‑ICE march. The footage of shattered windows actually dates to Jan. 29 and matches a police incident report documenting 24 damaged vehicles, with authorities saying there is no indication the damage was protest‑related. The mismatch shows misleading social media captions.
