Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the indictment of 15 Minnesota activists. The charges included conspiracy to injure or impede a federal officer, which carries a penalty of up to six years in prison.
According to the indictment, the activists are members of "an organization dedicated and committed to direct action against federal law and immigration enforcement." It further alleges that they are part of the loose assemblage of antifascist activists known as antifa.
