A Minneapolis man says his arrest on federal charges tied to immigration enforcement protests was unjustified and part of a broader effort to intimidate activists. Cameron Kennedy was arrested at his home in south Minneapolis on Tuesday morning and charged by federal prosecutors. Kennedy and more than a dozen others are accused of using blockades, surveillance, and physical confrontations to obstruct immigration enforcement during Operation Metro Surge. Federal prosecutors cited Kennedy's Facebook posts as evidence that the group sought to materially stop federal operations. Several defendants were released after their initial appearances at the federal courthouse in St. Paul, where supporters gathered to voice concerns over what they see as political reprisal. Kennedy says he will not back down, though a judge has ordered him not to contact any of his co-defendants as a condition of his release. #minneapolis #twincities #minnesota #stpaul #federalcourt #immigration #lawenforcement
