Cyberstalking, doxxing case: DOJ arrests Antifa member targeting ICE

A self-proclaimed member of Antifa has been taken into federal custody after allegedly doxxing ICE agents and calling for their murder on social media.

The US Department of Justice announced Thursday the arrest of Minnesota native Kyle Wagner on federal charges of cyberstalking and threatening communications targeting ICE agents in Minneapolis.

From social posts to federal charges

Minneapolis has been a hotbed of anti-ICE sentiment and violent street protests, with tensions escalating after last month’s agent shooting deaths of local residents and activists Renne Good and Alex Pretti – with backlash that spread nationwide.

DOJ officials say the 37-year-old Wagner repeatedly posted threats on his Facebook and Instagram accounts in January, “encouraging his followers to forcibly confront, assault, impede, oppose, and resist federal officers,” whom he referred to as the “Gestapo” and “murderers."

“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” said US Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

The online threats that triggered the arrest

Homeland Security Investigations officials cited nearly a dozen statements posted online – in comments and videos – between January 8th and January 24th that directly threatened ICE agents with violence or urged other users to do so.

Additionally, on January 29th, Wagner allegedly doxxed and threatened a pro-ICE individual on Instagram, publishing “a phone number, birth month and year, and address in Oak Park, Michigan,” as well as revealing the victim’s parents' house.

The following is a list of threats or calls to violence posted by Wagner according to the DoJ:

• “I’ve already bled for this city, I’ve already fought for this city, this is nothing new, we’re ready this time, ICE we’re f---ing coming for you.”
• “Constant harassment of ICE”... “We need to continue that, but we also need to cripple them.”
• “Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them.”
• “Hunt” ICE, and for those who are “armed” to “fight [ICE]. This is kill or be killed.”
• “Goal [ ] to unmask and identify [ICE] agents - stop their ability to arrest individuals through group resistance.”
• “We are at f----- war”... "So, either we’re going to win, or I will die in this process.”
• “This is where ICE has come to die. We want to know who they are. We will identify every single one of them and we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f------ fun.”
• “Not talking about peaceful protests anymore”... “Get your f----- guns and stop these f------ people.”

Wagner also allegedly reposted a video where he passed out gas masks and shields to agitators.

The order that labeled Antifa a terrorist group

Federal officials sharply condemned the alleged threats, framing the case as part of a broader crackdown on political violence.

“It’s no surprise that an Antifa terrorist is allegedly threatening to kill and assault federal law enforcement officers as they dutifully remove criminal threats from neighborhoods,” said US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Blanche added that Antifa represents “lawlessness and violence” and warned there is “no safe haven for terrorists and no protection from the full weight of justice.”

On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order describing “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization,” according to The American Presidency Project.

The order characterized the left-wing movement as a “militarist, anarchist enterprise” and directed federal agencies to investigate those associated with it.

However, while US presidents can label groups as “domestic terrorists” as a matter of policy, such declarations do not carry the same legal weight or automatic criminal penalties as US Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) or Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) designations.
