明尼苏达州圣保罗麦卡莱斯特学院的佛学教授埃里克·戴维斯因参与反对移民及海关执法局(ICE)的社区组织活动遭到起诉,面临最高六年监禁1。检察官指控戴维斯与其他14名被告通过"武力、恐吓和威胁"阻止联邦执法官员执行职务,并声称他们与"antifa"有关联1。起诉书长达94页,但未指称对ICE官员造成具体伤害1。
同案被告纳塔莎·拉科茨面临更严重的指控,最高刑罚为26年监禁,包括共谋罪6年和袭警罪20年1。然而戴维斯及其他被告声称自己只从事合法的社区组织工作,对移民驱逐提出反对,并非参与暴力活动1。被告在Signal群组中讨论的是非暴力抵抗战术,如民间不服从、游行和设置"路障"1。戴维斯本人未被指控任何暴力行为或与ICE官员的直接冲突1。
检控官丹尼尔·罗森表示此案与特朗普政府的行政令相关,该令将"antifa"定性为"国内恐怖组织"1。2025年1月,ICE在双城地区开展了大规模执法行动1。
A Buddhist studies professor at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, has been charged as part of a conspiracy case that could result in up to six years imprisonment.1 Erik Davis is among 15 defendants accused by federal prosecutors of using "force, intimidation, and threats" to obstruct immigration enforcement officials, with authorities linking the case to anti-ICE activism.1 Davis has not been charged with any violent conduct or direct confrontation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.1
The charges stem from community organizing efforts opposing ICE operations, with prosecutors framing the case in connection with an executive order from the Trump administration that designated "antifa" as a "domestic terror organization."1 According to the indictment, defendants discussed nonviolent resistance tactics in encrypted Signal messaging groups, including civil disobedience, marches, and "blockades."1 Another defendant, Natasha Rakotz, faces significantly steeper charges carrying a maximum sentence of 26 years—combining a six-year conspiracy conviction with a 20-year assault charge against a federal officer.1 The 94-page indictment does not specify concrete injuries inflicted on ICE agents.1
Davis and his co-defendants maintain they engaged in lawful community organizing work focused on opposing deportations rather than violent activity.1 The prosecutions come as ICE launched large-scale enforcement operations across the Twin Cities region in January 2025.1
