Neighbors say warrant wasn’t clear during raid; DOJ says arrest was for threats
Video of a federal arrest at a Minneapolis apartment building is drawing attention online. The Department of Justice says Kyle Wagner, 37, is accused of allegedly posting online statements calling for violence against federal immigration agents, including ICE. The case is also fueling debate about the First Amendment and what the Supreme Court calls a “true threat.” Three legal scholars explain why context and intent matter — and why online speech can be harder to evaluate in court. Wagner made his first appearance in federal court Thursday. Authorities have since confirmed agents had a warrant to enter his apartment, though neighbors and witnesses say it wasn’t made clear at the time.
