I am at the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis awaiting a press conference with United States Attorney Dan Rosen and the Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations Michael McCarthy. We have been advised that they will announce charges against several defendants for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers and related charges arising from the efforts of members from two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups in violent oppostion to immigration law enforcement during Operation Metro Surge. That’s what the press release says. According to the Department of Justice, the press conference is to be live streamed here at 11:00 a.m. (Central): dhs.gov/live.
I observed repeatedly during Metro Surge that the resisitance was highly organized and likely illegal. It was obvious. The press conference will include a Power Point presentation that should be informativea, although I would like to see the indictment. I hope to return with more information of the good news variety after the press conference.
