All hell broke loose on Tuesday afternoon outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota, after federal prosecutors indicted 15 members of Antifa.
As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported earlier Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota unsealed a federal indictment charging 15 defendants over their alleged roles in two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal immigration law during Operation Metro Surge.
“Today, a federal indictment was unsealed charging 15 defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers and other charges related to efforts of two Minneapolis-based ANTIFA groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal law in our state.”
“Working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, our investigation uncovered extensive planning, material support, and coordinated attacks against federal personnel and facilities,” DHS special agent Michael McCarthy said.
“It is not optional – we will enforce the law. Any attempt to undermine it through violence or intimidation will be met with DECISIVE ACTION,” Homeland Security Special Agent in Charge Michael McCarthy said.
