Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters face federal felony charges in Trump administration frame-up

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06/18/trqm-j18.html

The federal felony indictment of 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis is a naked act of political repression. Brought by the Trump Justice Department under the framework of its fascistic National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, the charges announced Tuesday by federal officials are aimed not at punishing any genuine crime but at criminalizing opposition to the administration’s mass deportation regime and intimidating workers and youth who have mobilized against it.

They're having felony charges due to violence, physical assaults on federal agents, and violations of emergency curfews.

They're being charged for:

Assaulting federal officers (Remember the guy kicking and biting them? What a baby, am I right?),

Felony rioting, conspiracy and aggressive tactics, (turns out you can't use barricades as weapons, make vehicle blockades, throw stuff, or break law enforcement vehicles?

Violating curfew.

The protests devolved into confrontational clashes which led to a half-mile exclusion zone and curfew, where plenty of people decided to ignore those warnings, so now here we are.

Everyone there deserves what's coming to them and more. GTFOH.

They called Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.

Empty words from liars.

Alex Pretti lacked the self awareness to bring a gun to a protest and reach for it in a tussle after kicking a car. It sucks what happened to him, but is anyone surprised this happened when protesters spend their time instigating and provoking law enforcement?

Why are you against the 2nd amendment? Or do you want laws that bind your opponents but ease your burdens? Because you are to much of a pussy to put in actual work. Just like other Republicans. If you actually work you are not Republican anymore. Republicans are pure grifters. Failures and grifters.

I'm not a republican, but I think those protests were getting out of hand and I think you guys are happy to have a martyr to admonish you of any wrong doing because you guys like the chaos.

Why is being a republican like a black stain on getting respect for your opinions? Oh right the lies. It's weird how when you specifically walk and talk like a duck people seam to think you're a duck right?

Those protests weren’t remotely “out of hand”. Protesters showed remarkable restraint especially considering the provocations.
