Ah, the consequences of leftwing actions.
Today, a federal indictment was unsealed, charging 15 defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, and other charges related to efforts of two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal law in our state.
But I was told Antifa was just an idea!
The defendants are members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota. They are charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on federal officers, and destruction of government property.
Earlier this morning, agents of Homeland Security Investigations conducted a coordinated law enforcement operation culminating in the arrest of 12 of the 15 defendants. One defendant had already been in custody on other federal charges. Two defendants remain fugitives at large.
Today's charges and arrests reflect a broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior which seeks to disrupt the execution of federal law, endanger law enforcement, and importantly, endanger the very communities that these defendants falsely claim to be protecting.
It's amazing.
Even after Trump has been back in office for more than a year, I'm still shocked when I see woke rioters be held accountable for their violent behavior.
I'm just too used to seeing grandmas be arrested for praying in front of abortion clinics, I guess!
Meanwhile, you can expect the local Minnesota news to go to bat for these violent terrorists:
Of course!
Just look at this headline from CBS Minnesota:
If you watch or read the fake news, you live in a totally different reality.
