Overview
- Prosecutors and the defense told the court they reached a settlement, and the change‑of‑plea hearing is set for May 7 in St. Paul.
- Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, faces a federal count for assaulting and interfering with a U.S. officer and separate Hennepin County charges for threats of violence and fifth‑degree assault.
- The case stems from Jan. 27, 2026, when video shows a man rush a Minneapolis town hall stage and spray Omar with a syringe containing apple cider vinegar and water.
- Omar was not injured and finished the event, and a judge later kept Kazmierczak in custody after an associate told agents he had once said someone should kill her.
- The plea terms remain undisclosed, and the federal outcome is expected to guide the timing of the county case and could influence security planning for future public meetings.
