Claiming an Antifa Plot, U.S. Charges 15 in Minneapolis With Conspiracy

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota have charged 15 individuals with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers. The 94-page indictment alleges the group had Antifa ties and conspired to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis during the Trump administration. These charges follow difficulties faced by the DOJ in sustaining previous criminal cases against protesters. The legal action specifically targets those accused of conspiring to disrupt federal immigration enforcement activities within the city of Minneapolis.
