Federal Assault Charges Dismissed

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are quietly dropping charges against at least eighteen people accused of assaulting federal officers, citing weak evidence and mounting legal scrutiny. Some cases were dismissed after prosecutors reevaluated the proof, while others were halted amid claims of mistreatment during custody — including shackling and denied phone access. A federal judge has also questioned the credibility of affidavits from a special agent, noting he sometimes described events he didn’t witness firsthand. Meanwhile, prosecutors have announced new charges against fifteen others for allegedly conspiring to oppose immigration enforcement — though they won’t disclose specific injuries to agents, pointing instead to the indictments and upcoming evidence.
