Federal prosecutors have charged a Minneapolis man with cyberstalking and threatening ICE officers, accusing him of posting threats online and encouraging violence against agents.

“So we are committed to enforcing our immigration laws. We want that level of cooperation from state and local officials, and if people are illegally obstructing our federal law enforcement operations,” she said, noting that anyone targeting federal personnel will be held accountable.
She also highlighted the seriousness of harassing or obstructing federal operations, especially those involving ICE agents.
“If they are targeting, doxing, harassing and vilifying ICE agents, they are going to be held accountable like this individual here, who, again, is a self proclaimed member of Antifa. He is a domestic terrorist, and he will be held accountable in the United States,” Leavitt said.
