Justice is coming for over a dozen members of the “peaceful left” who are accused of attacking federal agents.
Today, the DOJ charged 15 members of an Antifa-linked group called Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN) for participating in a violent conspiracy to interfere with ICE agents.

15 members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN) have been charged with various federal crimes, including conspiracy to impede a federal officer, multiple counts of interstate stalking, interstate threats, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, multiple counts of assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.
“As alleged, these defendants, which included members of Antifa groups, engaged in an unrelenting campaign of harassment and violence targeting federal and local law enforcement,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “Their actions created a dangerous environment that threatened not only their intended targets, but the community as a whole. These arrests demonstrate the Department’s commitment to law and order and stopping organized political violence in Minneapolis and beyond.”

The charges are the result of a months-long DOJ investigation following the violent events that took place in Minneapolis earlier this year.
The Hill reported further:
The charges are in connection with alleged incidents of stalking ICE officers, setting up vehicle blockade around federal buildings and throwing ice at federal vehicles.
Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Michael McCarthy told reporters that the charges were the result of a monthslong investigation.
“Let me be clear,” McCarthy told reporters. “Peaceful protest is a protected right and a cornerstone of our democracy. We respect and defend that right. However, there is a line that cannot be crossed.”
Clashes between Minnesota residents and federal officers exploded in January after two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were shot and killed by federal immigration enforcement officers in separate incidents in Minneapolis. Local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, called on ICE to leave the city as the agency was carrying out “Operation Metro Surge.”

MAJOR WIN: 15 ANTIFA MEMBERS CHARGED IN MINNEAPOLIS, 12 IN CUSTODY THIS MORNING!
All from the Twin Cities area. Federal agents rolled up 12 today, with 2 still at large. One was already locked up on separate charges: Kyle Wagner, leader of Direct Action Minnesota and proud Antifa member.
This clown was previously charged with threatening federal agents, calling for attacks on them, and cyberstalking. Now he and his crew are facing serious heat for their anti-ICE chaos.
ADVERTISEMENTThe U.S. Attorney says these cases will hold up, unlike the usual slap-on-the-wrist dismissals we’ve seen before.
Finally, real consequences for the violent radicals who’ve turned Minnesota into a hotbed for this nonsense. No more free pass for Antifa thugs attacking law enforcement and obstructing ICE.
President Trump and the DOJ are cleaning house. Law and order is back.
Lock them up.
These violent, radical leftists were brought in for their first court hearing today.
During it, rioters surrounded the courthouse, forcing law enforcement to respond.
Independent journalist Andy Ngo shared some footage from the scene:

Arrest them all, and lock them up!
Political violence cannot be tolerated.
