Federal prosecutors charged several people with alleged ties to so-called “antifa groups” and claimed they sought to “violently oppose” law enforcement during anti-ICE protests in Minnesota.
Fifteen people have been charged with “conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers” and other alleged offenses related to “efforts of two Minneapolis-based antifa groups that violently oppose the enforcement of federal law in our state,” according to Daniel Rosen, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota.
