The U.S. Department of Justice charged 15 Minnesota anti-ICE protesters with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal agent, shortly after prosecutors dropped multiple similar cases for lack of evidence and prosecutorial misconduct.

The defendants are members of a group called “Direct Action Minnesota” or “DAMN,” per the indictment. In Signal messages, many expressed frustration with non-violent tactics — in a Facebook post displayed at the press conference, defendant Cameron Kennedy said “We need to become ungovernable. We need to resist any way we can to materially stop the Nazi occupation.”  [emphasis added]

And as Heather Cox Richardson writes in her 6/16/2026 Letter from an American:

Today U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced his office was charging fifteen people with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers over their behavior during the federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis last year that led to the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Rosen alleges that the defendants are part of two “antifa” groups that “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.”\ 

At the press conference about the charges, prosecutors introduced a Facebook post from one of the accused that said: “We need to become ungovernable.” Journalist Aaron Rupar noted: “Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing.” It’s actually even more embarrassing than that: Trump attended the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 when its theme was “Become Ungovernable,” and stood in front of the banner bearing that slogan, so the idea that the phrase is part of a criminal conspiracy will be awkward to argue.
