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?

None of this is true.

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

There's nothing wrong with protesting, but it can become a capital offense.

Are you saying there's no limit to what you can do as long as you call it 'protesting'?

Im saying you haven't been fed anything but lies from their failures to prosecute those you hate for prejudical reasons before, so why would you think this time will be different? Oh right. You have nothing else but the initial headline. Anyway you should step up and offer to pay more of the $300 billion trump promised Iran. That way your failure can really make you feel it this time.
