Feds Arrest Antifa Militants for Violent Conspiracy in Minnesota

The federal government has indicted 15 members of Antifa for violently opposing enforcement of the nation’s popular immigration laws.
“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,” U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen told a midday press conference in Minnesota.
The indictments are for action, not speech, Rosen emphasized:
The Department of Justice and my U.S. Attorney’s Office has and will distinguish between lawful protest and criminal conduct. These defendants have been charged not for what they said, but for what they did. They all joined an agreement, a conspiracy, to interfere with lawful immigration enforcement operations, the conspiracy was not to interfere by their voice, but to do it by force. That’s a crime, and it will not be tolerated in the United States
It may be difficult to get guilty verdicts from Democrat-leaning juries in Minnesota.
But the federal government has quietly dropped or sidelined charges against 29 of 36 people charged in December or January, according to Minnesota Public Radio.
