With the federal indictment of 15 violent left-wing extremists in Minneapolis today, it seems like a good time to share this again. Looking forward to reading the full indictment and seeing how they put the case together.

Great find here. Of the 13 members of the Minneapolis City Council, 4 of them are DSA members: Jason Chavez of Ward 9, Aisha Chughtai of Ward 10, Robin Wonsley of Ward 2, and Ward 8's Soren Stevenson. How many had knowledge of this ongoing conspiracy or even supported it?
Indictment notes that conspirators' met at the office of the Democratic Socialists of America, and briefed members of the DSA on their activities. (pg.29). Defendant welcomes arrival of an anarchist from CA,vetted by a comrade in "Black Rose Anarchist Federation." (pg.36)
This is the photo of LAPD SWAT during the SLA shootout that I mention during the episode. Note the SWAT officer on the right who has a WW2 surplus MP40 taken from the evidence locker because they needed more firepower. Over 9,000 rounds fired by both sides, 6 terrorists killed.
This exactly why today's indictments in Minneapolis are so important. The permissiveness and, in some cases, collusion of local and state officials with violent left-wing extremists has led to violence against law enforcement and undermined the rule of law itself.
🚨 Earlier today, protesters swarmed the Warren E. Burger Federal Courthouse in St. Paul after 15 Minnesotans were indicted for allegedly conspiring to impede or injure federal officers and violently oppose immigration enforcement.
I am very pro-police getting involved here. You can protest. You can criticize ICE. You can be furious about federal charges.
But you cannot swarm a federal courthouse and try to intimidate the justice system in real time.
NEW: Photos of the two southern California men the Feds say were part of a plotted mass casualty drone & sniper attack at the UFC event at the White House. Bryan Roa is identified as the man on left. On the right, Michael Thomas.
Indictment highlights some key Antifa TTPS including use of affinity groups, spokescouncils, opsec, publication of AARs (including one defendant allegedly publishing to CrimethINC!).
Should be an interesting case.
Baltimore, Maryland - Isaac Dalto, filmed tearing down posters of kindapped Israelis at Penn Station, is a known BLM activist who previously faced felony rioting charges.
According to public records, he was also involved in altercations involving theft and violence.
One of the indicted coconspirators in the Minneapolis antifa case is Isaac Dalto, who was charged with felony rioting during Trump's first inauguration in 2017, though charges were subsequently dropped. There were lots of clashes that day and a limo was set on fire.
Dalto has a huge digital trail and he's been a big part of the antifa ecosystem for over a decade. In the indictment he's also accused of writing a "Firsthand Account" account for Crimethinc about rioters attacking law enforcement looting their vehicles https://t.co/hsKMwI19hj
So far in June the Trump admin has taken several enforcement actions against the left, including convictions for assault and obstruction of ICE and more federal fraud referrals.
This week multiple ANTIFA are facing charges in Minnesota and Texas, some indicted for terrorism.
One of the groups mentioned here, the Black Hat Workers Collective, is allegedly led by Kyle Wagner who as previously arrested in February for threats against ICE.
ANTIFA RIOTERS CHARGED.
@TheJusticeDept has charged 15 violent rioters with charges including conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.
@SecMullinDHS has been clear: if you impede or assault our officers, you will be ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED.
