US Attorney Bill Essayli, 24 January 2026

Antifa tactics are on full display today. What you're seeing is straight from their playbook to undermine government:

1. Agitate law enforcement (get in their face, spit on them, assault them, etc.)
2. Trigger a response and use of force by law enforcement
3. Film the use of…

… force by law enforcement
3. Film the use of force and publicize it out of context
4. Use mainstream media and social media to inflame the public with a false narrative
5. Trigger a riot to overthrow the government

They tried this last summer in Los Angeles, and it did not work. We aggressively arrested and charged violators on the spot, and called in the National Guard.

We restored law and order in California. @TheJusticeDept will do the same in Minnesota.

MAZ [Minneapolis Autonomous Zone] has Antifa / leftist leaders in it from all the way in Boston. They are pouring into MN?

I am not sure it even has a name yet, but an “occupied zone” appears to be forming in Minneapolis.

At 0:52, it looks like Boston-based PSL organizer and Harvard encampment leader Kojo Acheampong is leading the chants. 👀 pic.twitter.com/mlcuP4EBGo

Grok—
Jack Posobiec's post highlights external coordination in the emerging Minneapolis Autonomous Zone (MAZ), noting Boston-based PSL organizer Kojo Acheampong leading chants, amid anti-ICE protests following a January 24, 2026, fatal shooting of an armed protester by federal agents.

MAZ, barricaded at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, mirrors Seattle's 2020 CHAZ with makeshift walls and "no ICE" declarations, drawing around 50 participants in -9°F conditions despite a statewide general strike and thousands protesting broader Trump-era deportations.

National Guard and local police now encircle MAZ after initial withdrawals, as reports indicate support from groups like Defend 612 and Indivisible, raising concerns over out-of-state influx potentially intensifying unrest tied to Minnesota's history of police-involved deaths like George Floyd's.

Organized Signal Groups

Great thread and reporting showing how thousands are part of a conspiracy in Minnesota using aliases on the Signal app to plan violent criminal conspiracies. As has been revealed in multiple state and federal court cases involving Antifa, Signal is the app where they plan their terrorist direct actions, though they reserve that for smaller cells of people recruited from real-life encounters.

Pay attention to this! You just might find the daughter of a certain governor in one of these groups. Oops, I've said too much. https://t.co/1fOdYb1EIA
