EXPOSED: I went through the 94-page federal indictment against 15 members of a Minnesota Antifa cell. It reveals a network of aliases, secret Signal chats, surveillance teams and coordinated criminal operations. Read: https://t.co/rQRtnl6z5X

"Direct Action Minnesota emphasizes their violent militant approach to politics, and are highly critical of non-violent peaceful protest," said Rosen, explaining that the organization is "dedicated to direct action against federal law and immigration enforcement."
"This action is not peaceful. It's obstructive, disruptive, and unlawful. The organization trains its members in the aggressive use of shields against law enforcement, surveillance, operational planning, and rapid mobilization against law enforcement actions," Rosen added.
While Antifa is not a formal, singular organization, it operates as a decentralized, coordinated conspiracy dedicated to attacks and intimidation of civilians, law enforcement, and the government.
Reactions from Antifa accounts have been swift.
"One of our comrades was arrested and all of their electronics were confiscated," read one statement being widely shared. "Please alert all of your groups. Stay safe."
"This indictment is important to read for everyone engaged in political action right now," said the violent extremist group People's City Council, Los Angeles. "You should be discussing this with your comrades and organizing groups."
Other allegations in the indictment include efforts by the suspects to acquire trailers and trucks for road blockades and recruit support from out of state.
The charges mark one of the most significant federal cases targeting alleged Antifa organizing networks following the successful terrorism conviction of 16 Antifa members in North Texas earlier this year.
A group of Antifa supporters gathered outside the federal courthouse in Minneapolis to express support for their comrades who were indicted. Among them was the communist legal group, the National Lawyers Guild.
Should be a fun trial to monitor. Chris Wray must be pissed at the indictment/arrests.
