All hell broke loose on Tuesday afternoon outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota, after federal prosecutors indicted 15 members of Antifa.

As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported earlier Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota unsealed a federal indictment charging 15 defendants over their alleged roles in two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal immigration law during Operation Metro Surge.

“Today, a federal indictment was unsealed charging 15 defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers and other charges related to efforts of two Minneapolis-based ANTIFA groups that violently opposed the enforcement of federal law in our state.”

WATCH:

“Working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, our investigation uncovered extensive planning, material support, and coordinated attacks against federal personnel and facilities,” DHS special agent Michael McCarthy said.

“It is not optional – we will enforce the law. Any attempt to undermine it through violence or intimidation will be met with DECISIVE ACTION,” Homeland Security Special Agent in Charge Michael McCarthy said.

UPDATE 6/18/2026:

(…) US Attorney for Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced that the defendants are allegedly involved with Twin Cities Direct Action, later renamed Direct Action Minnesota, or “DAMN,” a collective that organizes anti-ICE operations across the Minneapolis area. The 94-page indictment alleges the cell trained extremists in surveillance, rapid mobilization, shield tactics, blockade operations, and methods designed to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.
The indictment also identifies the Black Cat Workers Collective, a Minneapolis-based Antifa affinity group, as a key component of the network. The group promotes militant tactics, physical confrontation, and revolutionary political objectives while organizing actions against ICE and law enforcement, according to prosecutors.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted home raids on Tuesday morning and took 12 of the 15 defendants into custody. Two defendants remain at large, and another defendant was already in jail.
The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.

The defendants named in the indictment include:

  • Isaac Auman Sant, aka “Isaac Datto,” “Ike”
  • Emmett James Doyle, aka “Plotnikov”
  • Cameron Kennedy, aka “Cam,” “Olive Knife,” “Knife”
