Overview
- Kyle Wagner, 37, was taken into custody in Minneapolis by Homeland Security Investigations and charged by criminal complaint with threatening communications and cyberstalking.
- The complaint alleges Wagner posted videos on Jan. 8 and Jan. 24 urging followers to confront ICE officers and to “get your f—— guns and stop these f—— people.”
- Prosecutors say he doxxed a pro‑ICE individual on Jan. 29 by posting a phone number and an address in Oak Park, Michigan, and later acknowledged the address was the victim’s parents’ home.
- The Justice Department says the case falls under Operation Take Back America, and Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly condemned Wagner’s alleged conduct.
- The complaint was unsealed Thursday, Wagner is presumed innocent, and prosecutors will decide whether to seek an indictment as Minnesota continues to see tensions tied to large federal immigration operations.
