Federal prosecutors have charged 15 Minnesotans for conspiracy to impede or injure immigration officers in Minneapolis earlier this year. The indictment links the defendants to "antifa" groups. Trump last year categorized "antifa" — which is not an actual group — as a "domestic terror organization.”

🔎 Newly unsealed search warrants confirm the sheriff who seized 650k ballots from California’s redistricting referendum relied on fraud claims pushed by anti-voting activists. Even more chilling? The script mirrored the one used in the FBI’s Fulton County raid — which came just one week earlier.

The newly unsealed warrants also raise questions about why law enforcement officers were able to seize ballots unchecked by either the courts or the officials responsible for protecting them.
