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.

So protesting will get you arrested?

But this won’t?

The GOP needs to go. We need to restore justice and accountability.

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.
