Today, the US Attorney's Office in Minneapolis and Homeland Security Investigations announced "Antifa" charges against accused anti-ICE protesters. In short, after ICE murdered people in the streets, they want to pretend that those who stood up to ICE represent the real threat to the public.

Having failed to overcome the united community response to Operation Metro Surge, Trump's toadies are now attempting to divide and conquer—purporting to support the right to protest while targeting those they designate "Antifa."

The 15 people charged are alleged to be participants in Direct Action Minnesota.

The goal of these charges is to intimidate people out of standing up for each other when federal agents descend on a community to do violence to it. Make no mistake, this prosecution is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism. If it succeeds, they will repeat the strategy again, targeting more people.

Solidarity is collective self-preservation.
