16 people arrested for attacks on federal officers in Minnesota, Pam Bondi announces

Judge Dulce Foster criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for posting arrest photos of 16 presumed innocent protesters, highlighting federal rules against such disclosures.

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday that at least 16 people were arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement officers under 18 U.S. Code 111.
  • Amid heightened federal operations, arrests followed weeks of intensified federal immigration enforcement and protests after two demonstrators were fatally shot.
  • Documents detail that court records show arrests between Jan. 7 and Jan. 22, with affidavits by Richard Berger describing incidents involving Rank, Ahmed, Charlebois, and Doyle.
  • The U.S. Attorney's Office of Minnesota said none of the 16 have been indicted yet, while Bondi posted names and photos on X despite DOJ restrictions, and student activist groups plan a 1 p.m. protest.
  • This incident fits into a national pattern where federal immigration agents have operated in multiple cities in the past year, while advocates warn arrests and name postings may chill protests and raise due-process concerns.
