Prosecutors recommended a 14-month prison term after Kazmierczak sprayed Ilhan Omar with a vinegar mixture during a town hall assault, then apologized later.
- Anthony Kazmierczak faced sentencing Wednesday after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors for assaulting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar with vinegar at a Minneapolis town hall meeting.
- The assault occurred amid Operation Metro Surge, when more than 2,000 immigration officers swept through the Twin Cities, as witnesses saw Kazmierczak spray liquid from a syringe at Omar.
- Prosecutors noted Kazmierczak struggled with alcohol abuse and "a history of mental and emotional health concerns," alongside a 2022 Parkinson diagnosis, after texting at least three people about his plans.
