Overview
- Lopez pleaded guilty on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to one misdemeanor count of assaulting, resisting and impeding officers and was sentenced to a $25 fine, time served and a year of probation.
- She had originally faced three felony counts for assaulting, resisting and impeding officers and one felony count of obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder.
- The charges stem from a June 3, 2025 operation in which a federal task force executed eight search warrants at locations including Cuatro Milpas on Lake Street, prompting a crowd after online rumors misidentified the action as an ICE immigration raid.
- Prosecutors say Lopez threw a softball that hit a Hennepin County deputy and struck an FBI agent during attempts to arrest her, and they described other kicking and shoving during the scene.
- Federal officials say the June 3 warrants were part of a larger investigation tied to an earlier seizure of about 900 pounds of methamphetamine valued at roughly $22–$25 million, and the case highlights how viral rumors about immigration enforcement can draw crowds to criminal investigations.
