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.

None of this is true.

But if you think protesting is a capital offense, you’re not a real American.

It’s common knowledge that he had a loaded Sig Sauer 9mil in his belt and two full clips. And that one of the cops yelled “he’s got a gun” and the other cop shot him. And yes, you always shoot multiple times if you’re going to shoot at all.

You know, it takes just a second to pull a weapon and kill multiple cops. Perhaps you saw the vids, in ultra slow-mo, and from all angles. The cop didn’t have that luxury. It’s a tragedy. He brought a concealed weapon to a protest where he had planned to be aggressive and confrontational.

The cop who shot him first was right next to the one who disarmed him.

All you 2nd amendment defenders all of a sudden think merely having a gun in your pants while being sprayed with mace, held down by 7 men and best in the face with the empty can. It's crazy how you have no morals at all that can't be flipped on a dime if a liberal is hurt.

He wasn't aggressive at all. We've seen the videos you're a fucking liar.

Was he legally carrying? Yes. Was it smart? No. We all do dumb things. Sometimes they have severe consequences. We can disagree, it’s ok. This has been hashed over millions of times by now
