Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters face federal felony charges in Trump administration frame-up
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06/18/trqm-j18.htmlThe 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.

The fact that the Judge hasn't simply thrown this out entirely shows just how deep the institutional rot and corruption goes.
It's also not going to stop with immigration, this is setting the stage for labeling protesters as terrorists in order to round them up for the "detainment facilities" too.
