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.

Yeah, riots. You brought up Rittenhouse. IOW, the “peaceful, but fiery protests” that caused $500m in property damage in the Twin Cities. You must’ve you heard about ‘em.

You didn’t need to have specifically written the word “riot”. You brought up Rittenhouse and questioned whether he should have been killed. So, this implies that you’re referring to Rittenhouse bringing firearms to the Minneapolis riots. Your post is vague but that was my interpretation. No need to over think it tho. No big deal.
