A 37-year-old Minneapolis man named Kyle Wagner has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking and threatening to kill or assault Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers involved in a crackdown in Minnesota. Federal prosecutors allege Wagner repeatedly posted on social media encouraging his followers to confront, assault, and resist federal officers, referring to them as the 'gestapo' and 'murderers'. Wagner is also accused of doxing a 'pro-ICE individual' by publishing their personal information online.

Why it matters

This case highlights growing tensions between anti-immigration activists and federal law enforcement, with the Biden administration cracking down on threats and harassment targeting ICE officers. The charges against Wagner come as the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota is facing staffing challenges and a 'flood of new litigation' related to the surge of protests and unrest in the region.

The details

According to the complaint, Wagner posted a video last month that directly threatened ICE officers with an obscenity-laden rant, saying 'I've already bled for this city, I've already fought for this city, this is nothing new, we're ready this time' and that he was 'coming for' ICE. The complaint also alleges Wagner used his Instagram account to dox a 'pro-ICE individual' by publishing their phone number, birth month and year, and address in Michigan.

  • Wagner was arrested on Thursday, February 6, 2026.
  • The complaint against Wagner was filed on Tuesday, February 4, 2026 and unsealed on Thursday.
