Thousands of people took a stand against ICE terror in Minnesota. Fifteen of them are now facing federal criminal charges.
We stand with the Minnesota 15.
In the early months of 2026, thousands of people around Minnesota gathered together to protect their neighbors from ICE's campaign of terror. Months later, the Trump administration indicted 15 of those people on federal charges for their involvement in rapid response, mutual aid, and protest.
The persecution of the Minnesota 15 is an effort by the federal government to punish, intimidate, and divide the movement that stood up to their violence. We won't let them. We know that our solidarity is stronger than their terror. We stand with the MN15.
On Tuesday, June 16, the federal government arrested fifteen of the tens of thousands of people who took a stand against ICE terror in Minnesota.
We all stand with the Minnesota 15.
Charged with "conspiracy to impede federal officers," Minnesotans know the actions described in the indictment better as protecting our neighbors.
The people of Minnesota, of the United States of America, and the world support the "Minnesota 15".
“This is a naked attempt to silence our voices, to squash dissent and to have a chilling effect on organizing here in the Twin Cities. And I’m here to tell you, it’s not going to work. People in the community here are smart. They’re resilient. They have an indomitable will. And I have every faith that they’re going to keep fighting.”
— Isaac Sant, Minnesota 15 defendant
“The government feels so threatened by our ability to come together and use our protected First Amendment rights, our legal rights as unionists that they feel they must surveil and disrupt. However, that to me is a signal that what we are doing is effective, impactful, and powerful.”
— Treasure Thoreson, Minnesota 15 defendant
