Anti-ICE Antifa Member Arrested for Cyberstalking, Threatening Federal Officers in Minneapolis
Federal authorities have arrested Kyle Wagner, a self-identified member of Antifa, in Minneapolis. He faces charges of cyberstalking and making threats against officers from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The arrest was announced by U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr., who stated that Wagner is expected to appear in federal court soon.
Details of the Arrest
Wagner, age 37, was taken into custody following allegations of soliciting murder and assault against federal law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized that Wagner’s actions highlighted his association with what the government considers a terrorist organization. She stated, “If you come for law enforcement, the Trump Administration will come for you.”
Context and Background
The charges stem from Wagner’s intensified opposition to ICE operations. A criminal complaint indicates that he engaged in numerous social media posts on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
Threatening Behavior
In January 2026, Wagner made explicit threats against ICE agents. He referred to federal officers as the “gestapo” and “murderers,” and called for physical confrontations with them. His most notable posts include:
- On January 8, he threatened ICE directly, stating, “ICE we’re f—ing coming for you.”
- On January 9, he advocated for “crippling” ICE and urged his followers to “put our hands on them.”
- On January 10, he claimed, “we are at f—– war,” affirming that he would either win or die trying.
- By January 24, he no longer advocated for peaceful protests, instead inciting violence while urging his followers to arm themselves.
Doxxing Incident
Wagner is also accused of doxxing a pro-ICE individual on his Instagram account. He shared sensitive personal information, putting the individual’s safety at risk. Wagner later acknowledged that he also doxxed the individual’s parents.
Legal Proceedings Ahead
It is important to note that a criminal complaint is merely a charge and not indicative of guilt. Wagner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. As the case progresses, a decision regarding indictment will be made shortly. This investigation is part of Operation Take Back America, a national initiative focusing on illegal immigration and violent crime prevention.
