Far-Right Influencer Jake Lang Charged for Damaging ‘Prosecute ICE’ Sculpture
Jake Lang faces a felony for damaging a $6,000 ice sculpture advocating federal immigration accountability, charged by Ramsey County prosecutors after posting the act on social media.
- On Feb. 5, Ramsey County prosecutors charged 30-year-old Jake Lang with a felony after troopers observed him damaging a veterans' ice sculpture valued at $6,250 on the Capitol grounds, claiming it was artistic expression.
- The veteran-led group said the sculpture was erected on Saturday and paid $6,250 to a local artist to advocate accountability, with Lang recently leading a Jan. 17 rally.
- Lang recorded himself kicking the ice sculpture, altering `PROSECUTE ICE` to `PRO ICE`, and said he was exercising his 'First Amendment right to artistic expression,' according to prosecutors.
- The Ramsey County Attorney's Office charged Lang, who remains in custody and faces potential penalties of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, after his court appearance Friday.
- Capitol staff say Lang's permit claim is false, and protesters plan to oppose his Capitol appearance, highlighting local tensions, Jacob Thomas of Common Defense said.
