WATCH: Self-Described ‘Antifa General’ Arrested in Dramatic Pre-Dawn Raid in Minneapolis After Calling for People to Join Him in Armed Uprising Against ICE
A self-described Antifa “general” in Minneapolis, Kyle Wagner, has been arrested in a dramatic pre-dawn raid after calling for an armed uprising against U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a series of viral videos.
The 37-year-old radical leftist was taken into custody early Thursday morning, following his unhinged social media posts, previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, that urged followers to “get your f-cking guns and stop these f-cking people.”
“My name is Kyle. I’m Antifa,” he began in one of the videos, before urging his followers to “suit up” and meet at Nicollet and 26th Street.

“I’m not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” he declared. “We’re not talking about having polite conversations anymore. I am talking specifically to my f-cking followers… Get your f-cking guns and stop these f-cking people.”
In another video, Wagner asked followers to send him large sums of money for “freedom and defense” during what he described as a “guerrilla war in the streets,” but would not say what the money would be used for.

He labeled ICE agents as "Gestapo," "mass murderers," and "fascist occupiers," urging others to harass, "cripple," "hunt," and use violence against them, including threats to "prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law... at the barrel of a gun."
"We want to know who they are. We will identify every single one of them and we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law," he said, according to charging documents. "If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f**king fun."
Additionally, he allegedly doxed and threatened a Michigan-based ICE supporter by publishing their personal information online.
His Instagram has since been either banned or deleted.
The arrest was filmed by Ford Fischer of News2Share.

The arrest unfolded in a pre-dawn raid, with heavily armed DHS agents storming a residential building.
Residents refused to open the door, so agents broke the glass to gain entry.

Video footage shows tactical teams breaching a door and ascending stairs, while photos capture Wagner being led away in handcuffs, wearing a black hoodie emblazoned with "I'M ANTIFA!" and appearing visibly distraught; some reports say he was crying.
Wagner faces federal charges of threatening to assault and murder ICE agents, a serious offense that could land him behind bars for years. He is scheduled to appear in court later today.
