Federal and State Charges Escalate Williston ICE Protest Dispute

Five protesters face federal charges for blocking entrances to an ICE facility in Williston, Vermont, following a series of state-level arrests. The federal charges come after the Vermont Attorney General’s office bypassed the local prosecutor to pursue state trespassing charges against 12 demonstrators. The defendants, who range in age from 22 to 80, have pleaded not guilty and face potential jail time and fines, while activists plan further demonstrations despite the legal escalation.

Defense alleges DHS spied on Minnesota anti-ICE protests and compiled dossiers

A Minnesota defense attorney filed a federal court motion claiming Homeland Security Investigations secretly surveilled anti-ICE protests, infiltrated public meetings with undercover protesters, and compiled dossiers on activists using law enforcement and union data. The motion references Operation Puppet Master and seeks the release of related records, arguing the surveillance targeted political speech and appears connected to broader efforts against protesters at federal facilities during the ICE surge; 15 defendants have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges.

While some teams continued competing on Saturday (including wrestling and basketball), others were held from contests, and the girls’ swimming and diving team was slated for regionals.
