Oh, and, um, haven’t the news wackos told us that Antifa didn’t exist?
Federal prosecutors charge 15 people with impeding agents during Minnesota immigration crackdown
Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people with impeding the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota, accusing them of conspiring against the federal government through a range of actions intended to block arrests and deportations.
During a news conference Tuesday, Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said the defendants “violently opposed the enforcement of federal law” by setting up blockades around government buildings, throwing chunks of ice at federal vehicles and “stalking” agents as they moved through Minneapolis.
He said the defendants were part of two groups that he characterized as “antifa,” an umbrella term for a diffuse movement of militant left-wing activists. (snip)
The 15 people charged Tuesday were part of “Direct Action Minnesota,” a left-wing coalition of protest groups that trains its members in the “surveillance, operational planning and rapid mobilization against law enforcement,” Rosen said. (snip)
One of the defendants, Kyle Wagner, 37, was previously arrested on charges that he made online threats against ICE officers and their supporters. An attorney listed for Wagner in that case did not respond to a message seeking comment.
Each of the defendants was charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, which carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison. Three others faced additional charges, including interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer and destruction of government property.
Obviously, the wackos did not take this well
They all should have been arrested and charged.
Charged not convicted. Either they will get sweet plea deals or the US Attorney will risk the Minneapolis jury funding them not guilty
Trump’s DOJ has a piss poor record of convicting Trump’s “enemies”
Wacko Teach ignores that the next President will pardon all protestors that Crooked Donny’s corrupt Department of Retribution is able to convict! After all, protest is protected.
