RE: Minnesota as Organized Crime Over the last 48 hours we have learned that the violence against ICE in the lawful conduct of its duties is tightly coordinated via sophisticated, encrypted messaging apps, unlawful use of private driver and taxpayer information pulled from government records, and dynamic shared databases used to attack and intimidate ICE agents and their families in their homes and on their phones. This is a formal organization with tiered, redundant leadership cells. Since this coordinated effort is all intended to violate 18 U.S.C. § 111 (which criminalizes forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers), it is entirely fair to say that Minnesota has been taken over by a vast criminal conspiracy. The only question at this point is who is at the top? We already are aware of informal coordination between this conspiracy and Minnesota’s governor and lieutenant governor, but what if that coordination is more than informal? What if Walz is the de facto leader of the conspiracy? I do not believe we have seen anything quite like this since the end of the Civil War.
