Far-Right Boogaloo Admits Posing as BLM Supporter While Shooting Up Minneapolis Cop Station

Sherburne County Jail


A member of the far-right Boogaloo Boys had admitted he traveled from Texas to Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd’s death and posed as a Black Lives Matter supporter while wreaking havoc on the city. Ivan Harrison Hunter, 24, pleaded guilty Thursday to a single count of rioting. He admitted to firing 13 rounds from an AK-47-style rifle into the 3rd Precinct police station as rioters set the building alight in May 2020. He was then filmed yelling “Justice for Floyd!” Hunter wore a distinctive skull mask during the riot that investigators later matched to a video on his Facebook page.

The Boogaloo movement is an extremist, anti-government, often racist movement that aims to start a second American civil war. Court filings allege Hunter came to Minneapolis with two other Boogaloos and also communicated with Steven Carrillo, a Boogaloo accused of fatally ambushing deputies in California.

Ivan Harrison Hunter
Sherburne County Jail

Ivan Harrison Hunter, 24, of Boerne, Texas, pleaded guilty to a single count of rioting. The charge carries a maximum prison term of five years.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Winter said sentencing guidelines call for Hunter to serve between 37 and 46 months in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Michael Davis said he would schedule a sentencing hearing following a standard pre-sentence investigation.


Hunter admitted that he fired 13 rounds from an AK-47-style rifle into the 3rd precinct police station on May 28, 2020, as other rioters looted and set fire to the building after police evacuated. No one was struck by the gunfire.

After shooting at the building, Hunter was recorded on video high-fiving another person and yelling "Justice for Floyd!" Investigators matched the skull mask Hunter was wearing in the video to a photo on his Facebook page.

Prosecutors say Hunter came to Minneapolis in the days following Floyd’s murder after corresponding on Facebook with Michael Solomon of New Brighton, Minn., and Benjamin Teeter of Hampstead, N.C. The men had been part of the “Boogaloo Bois,” a group that exploits tensions to further violence.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the group presents itself as libertarian and race-blind and calls for armed insurrection against what they see as government tyranny. But the SPLC says the Boogaloo Bois’ origins are violently racist. The group emerged online early in the last decade, and “boogaloo” was associated with a call for a race war. The term is often used by white nationalists and those seeking to generate chaos.

In court documents, investigators say Hunter communicated with Steven Carrillo, a California Boogaloo member charged with killing a federal officer and a sheriff’s deputy.

Solomon and Teeter pleaded guilty previously to supporting a foreign terrorist organization after they offered to sell weapons to an FBI informant posing as a member of Hamas.

The Boogaloos hate cops and have been involved in several cop killings.

You would think that law enforcement would make more of an effort to crack down on these terrorists.

I’ve been to multiple protests at this point and judging by what I know, this is not a surprise at all! People come in from out of town to fukk shyt up then go home. A lot of the people that actually live there are just out there protesting… They actually have to live and work there so they’re expecting to go out there to March and yell at a few cops or some shyt then go home. These questionable folks are easy to pick out, especially white people. The protesters will point them out in the crowd during the protests. Why would a group of white dudes dressed in camo be out there? There’s plenty of whites people that hate cops too.. they could use these protests to get their shyt off because black people will get blamed anyway.
