Federal Agents Bust Down Teachers Door, Arrest Him in His Boxers for Protesting ICE Drew Edwards, a school teacher and business owner, woke up to commotion outside his north Minneapolis home on Feb. 27. Peeking through the blinds, he saw an agent holding a gun, directing him to open the door. “The brother kicked the door open and broke down the door,” said Edwards. Agents wouldn’t let him dress and pulled a Taser on him. “The brother started to grope me and grab me, and I had no drawers on,” said Edwards. Edwards spoke outside the courthouse after being released from federal custody with dozens of others. He is one of 39 people indicted on the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, “18 U.S.C. § 248(a)(2), (b), §2(a), injure, intimidate, and interfere with exercise of right of religious freedom at place of worship” and the Ku Klux Klan Act, or the Enforcement Act of 1871, “18 U.S.C. § 241 conspiracy against right of freedom at place of worship.” The initial arrests, coming at the height of the popular movement against ICE in Minnesota and after two people were shot by federal agents in a week, show how far federal prosecutors are willing to go to stifle dissent, target who they deem as their political opponents, and attempt to silence independent media. Using surveillance and GPS tracking on phones, federal agents then targeted the protesters and journalists with early morning raids in several phases, some turning violent with masked agents using battering rams to break through front doors with guns drawn and federal agents ramming vehicles to make arrests. Full story at our website and in past posts.
