It was a violent, full-court press against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by Antifa and other leftists in Minneapolis last winter, and some of the planning included a major labor union. The 94-page indictment released this week by the Justice Department officials in Minneapolis outlined in detail, using Antifa members' own words in their multiple encrypted Signal chats, how 15 defendants coordinated their "direct actions" to stop ICE from arresting and deporting people in the country illegally. They used their cars, breastplates, bodies, and other paraphernalia to hurt officers, barricade roads with multiple types of coordinated styles in an attempt to stop officers from moving freely about the city. Their "force, intimidation, and threats" against ICE and Department of Homeland Security officers...The coordinated activity included directing the local AFL-CIO union on where to place its members for maximum effect....Saying a labor union is involved in far-left protest activity is like saying the sun came up today for those who have been watching the Wobblies since the dawn of the last century, but the AFL-CIO was heavily involved in the Minnesota protests. One of their members was Alex Pretti, who was shot by federal agents as he tried to stop them. The Minnesota unions were all in on the protests.
The Obama Presidential Center is set to open Friday in Chicago, but several subcontractors who helped build the project say they are still struggling to recover millions of dollars in alleged unpaid costs.Among them is Adamson Plumbing owner Mike Owen, who said his company is nearly $4 million in the red after years of work on the project."That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive," Owen said. He said the losses have drained company reserves, created uncertainty for employees, and could lead to layoffs....According to a Fox News Digital report published Wednesday, multiple subcontractors alleged losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions.The report said the claims raise questions about one of the center's signature goals: creating economic opportunities for minority-owned businesses and local contractors.
