A self-proclaimed Antifa activist in Minneapolis has issued a stark appeal for an “armed” demonstration to forcefully expel federal immigration officials from the metropolitan area.
Kyle Wagner, known for his tattoos and as a proud father, brands himself as a “master-hate-baiter” and operates out of Minneapolis. He frequently supplies gas masks to protesters, as indicated by his now-removed Instagram profile.
Recently, Wagner has shared a series of increasingly erratic videos showcasing his participation in anti-ICE protests, urging others to join him on the streets.
On a recent Sunday, following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, Wagner posted a video on Instagram urging demonstrators to engage in “boots on the ground” tactics.
“We cannot bring this to an end without courageous individuals in the streets, armed and prepared to shield innocent people from being slaughtered by these mass murderers, these fascist occupiers,” Wagner declared in an extensive tirade.
“I need boots on the ground and I need them prepared to do what needs to be done so that this does not cost more innocent lives. We do not have any more time to let this drag out. I know it sucks, but this is the iron front,” he added.
In a separate video, Wagner revealed he cannot legally own a firearm, but wears a tactical vest at protests for his personal safety. He said that he “absolutely expects to be shot” for “standing on the Constitution” while “speaking [his] peace” on and off the streets.
Most of Wagner’s torso, arms, and one side of his face feature a web of tattoos, including the symbol for Antifa on his neck and the word ‘RESISTANCE’ spelled out on his chest.
Wagner was somewhere inside the mob that descended onto a Hilton hotel Sunday night, where protesters believed ICE agents were staying. He described the carnage, which left one officer bloodied and the hotel lobby in shambles, as “some fun downtown with the icy boys.”
He was back in Minneapolis on Monday afternoon offering dozens of gas masks to eager agitators, according to a video on his Instagram.
The Antifa soldier’s call to action and increased activity in the streets comes after two civilians were fatally shot by federal immigration officers in separate incidents this month.
Pretti, an ICU nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis, was fatally shot during a chaotic encounter with federal agents Saturday morning.
Federal authorities allege that Pretti approached immigration agents with a 9mm handgun and “violently resisted” while they were taking him down, but videos taken by bystanders only show him holding his phone.
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was killed during a confrontation after federal authorities allege she tried to “weaponize” her vehicle against ICE agents in her neighborhood.
President Trump confirmed in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Sunday that his administration is “reviewing everything” regarding the shooting of Pretti.
Wagner’s account, which had more than 100,000 followers, was removed from Instagram on Monday afternoon.
