The Conspiracy to Silence Resistance The indictment of 15 Minneapolis protesters for conspiracy marks another disturbing chapter in the Trump administration's campaign to silence and intimidate those who resist its policies.
The charges stem from efforts to organize resistance against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations earlier this year, which have all the hallmarks of a concerted effort to chill dissent.
At the heart of the indictment is Direct Action MN, a collective of Twin Cities residents who came together to provide community defense during Operation Metro Surge.
