Federal prosecutors announce charges against 15 people accused of impeding federal agents during an immigration operation in Minnesota earlier this year. The U.S. Department of Justice says the case involves people it characterizes as members or associates of Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN), a mobilization group. DOJ officials describe the operation as targeting Minneapolis-based groups they associate with “antifa.” According to reporting from multiple outlets, prosecutors allege conduct that includes conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property. The charged individuals are accused of actions that prosecutors say interfered with federal officers during the crackdown connected to immigration enforcement. The announcements come from the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, Daniel N. Rosen, who characterizes the operation’s focus as related to antifa-linked organizations. The reports reflect the government’s allegations; they do not indicate outcomes or convictions.
