The FBI announced Thursday that it is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information that leads to the recovery of stolen government property in Minneapolis, or the arrest of the people involved. 

The bureau said several of its vehicles were broken into on Wednesday while agents were responding to an assault on a federal immigration official, who was allegedly ambushed and beaten by three illegal migrants. 

"The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the recovery of stolen government property and/or the arrest of individuals responsible for the destruction and theft of government property in Minneapolis," the bureau wrote on X. 

"On January 14, 2026, at approximately 7:00 p.m., FBI personnel responded to an assault on a federal officer investigation in North Minneapolis," the bureau continued.
