Tattooed Antifa madman busted in Minneapolis after calling for ‘murder’ of ICE agents

1 hour ago 2

A self-described Antifa member who called for the “murder and assault” of ICE agents in the streets of Minneapolis has been hit with federal cyberstalking and threatening communications charges.

Kyle Wagner, 37, a tatted-up nutcase who regularly urged followers through his now-deleted Instagram page to take up “armed” resistance against federal immigration authorities, was taken into custody Sunday.

“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

“Today’s arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: if you come for law enforcement, the Trump Administration will come for you.”

His arrest comes as assaults on immigration agents have surged some 1,150% since President Trump returned to the White House and quickly made border enforcement a top administration priority.

Wagner, in his steadily escalating social media postings in recent weeks, called for his 100,000 followers to “do what needs to be done” to purge the Twin Cities of feds, whom he called “gestapo” and “murders,” often flavoring his violent rhetoric as if he were a military leader.

“We can’t end this without good men in the streets, armed and ready to protect innocent people from being gunned down by these mass murderers, these fascist occupiers,” Wagner said in one of his long-winded rants.

“I need boots on the ground and I need them prepared to do what needs to be done so that this does not cost more innocent lives. We do not have any more time to let this drag out. I know it sucks, but this is the iron front,” he added.

Despite admitting he wasn’t legally allowed to own a firearm, Wagner wears a tactical vest during protests and has said he “absolutely expects to be shot” for “standing on the Constitution.”

On Jan. 8, Wagner posted a video on social media warning ICE agents “we’re f–king coming for you,” the next day cheering the “constant harassment of ICE” agents and the need to “cripple” them.

“Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them,” telling his armed followers to “hunt” ICE agents.

“This is kill or be killed,” he said in one of many unhinged postings.

Last month, Wagner posted a video on social media warning ICE agents “we’re f–king coming for you.”

“We are at f–king war. So, either we’re going to win, or I will die in this process,” he said.

The feds said in addition to his campaign of threatening violence against federal agents, Wagner also doxxed an ICE supporter on Instagram, posting their phone number, birth month and year and their street address in Oak Park, Michigan.

He later admitted he also doxxed the victim’s parents’ house.

“It’s no surprise that an Antifa terrorist is allegedly threatening to kill and assault federal law enforcement officers as they dutifully remove criminal threats from neighborhoods,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“After all, this is what Antifa is about, lawlessness and violence. But under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, there is no safe haven for terrorists and no protection from the full weight of justice.”
