The Daily Fuckup

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota unsealed an indictment on June 16, 2026, accusing 15 people of taking part in a campaign to interfere with immigration enforcement and federal officers in the Minneapolis area. The Justice Department says the defendants were members of, or associated with, Direct Action Minnesota, which prosecutors describe as a Minneapolis-based group with antifa ties. The case is an accusation, not a finding, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless the government proves the charges in court.

The indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer and, in the case, additional counts that include interstate stalking, interstate threats, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, assault on a federal officer and destruction of government property. DOJ says the charging document is an eight-count indictment. According to the department, the allegations center on organized conduct aimed at disrupting immigration enforcement operations rather than isolated clashes or spontaneous protest.

DOJ’s account describes blockades, surveillance and direct interference with federal activity around immigration enforcement. The indictment says the group used tactics intended to challenge, delay or stop raids, detentions and deportations. Prosecutors also say the case involved members and associates working in coordinated fashion through smaller subgroups and messaging channels.

The charges arrive in a politically charged fight over immigration enforcement, but the court case will turn on evidence, not rhetoric. The defendants can contest the allegations, challenge the government’s version of events and test the indictment through the normal criminal process. For now, the only thing established is that a grand jury has returned charges, not that any defendant has been convicted.
