A Minnesota activist was arrested Thursday and charged with threatening to assault and kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, the Justice Department said.
Prosecutors allege that Kyle Wagner, 37, shared comments and videos to Facebook and Instagram last month that encouraged his followers to attack federal immigration officers, who he called the "gestapo" and "murderers." He is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court on Thursday.
Photos taken Thursday appear to show Wagner being led out of a residential building in Minneapolis by agents with Homeland Security Investigations, part of the Department of Homeland Security, wearing a sweatshirt that says "I'M ANTIFA!" Antifa is short for "anti-fascist" and is a loosely organized left-wing movement or ideology.
In one now-deleted video posted on Jan. 8, Wagner allegedly threatened ICE agents, stating, "we're f**king coming for you," according to the Justice Department. The following day, he allegedly encouraged followers to harass immigration officers and said "we should cripple them."
"Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them," he said, according to prosecutors. Wagner's social media profiles appear to have been deleted as of Thursday. It was not immediately clear if he has an attorney.
Wagner also allegedly pushed others to "hunt" immigration officers and said his goal is to "unmask and identify" the agents. In a social media post on Jan. 13, he allegedly said Minnesota is "where ICE has come to die."
"We want to know who they are. We will identify every single one of them and we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law," he said, according to prosecutors. "If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f**king fun."

Lock this commie abomination up.
Hopefully, the ICE agents are heading for a few flights of ICEy steps.
Be a shame if they slipped....
So Antifa does exist...
Lying sacks of crap. Color revolutions are highly organized. Soros. CIA. Take your pick as to who is behind these.
What’s with so many people aged 37?
Felony charges coming?
This guy has been running loose long enough.
Send him to the Greybar hotel.
“Antifa” is actually “Fa”.

This is a big deal. FAILING to arrest and prosecute rioters just encourages more and worse rioting. Alex Pretti would be alive (and in jail) today, if he had been properly arrested and prosecuted the first time he tried rioting.
Monsters like him are going to kill ICE agents and their families as soon as the Dem politicians can get “no masks” rules on the books in all the cities. They have tech nerds using advanced facial recognition systems to locate the agents and their homes, as well as the hotels where they stay at night.
It’s for deadly purposes.
No one should be tolerant of Schumer and the others who push for “no masks”. The politicians are setting up death.
We wish. But will be followed by judges taking his side and his release and charges dismissed. Then on to the TV news show panels.
Antifafo.
Note that is nearly word for word what that ugly creep Sen. Eric Swalwell said more than once. He said he intends to get that going when the Dems win the midterms and the next election after it. For now, will take driver's license and ability to find employment for ICE agents in California.
Well, 1988 was the middle of the “Millennial” birth years, which are considered to be 1981-1996.
Was that the beginning of the “don’t physically discipline you’re child or you’re a terrible person” years? I don’t recall.
This Kyle Wagner maniac may have been allowed to run roughshod over his parents and thinks he can continue to do it to any and all authority figures. Too bad they didn’t have to muss him up more when they arrested him.
