At least three separate activist houses are being raided right now. We have four confirmed arrests and believe more will follow. The identities of the four arrestees are known, and we understand that they are being charged with conspiracy to riot, and other conspiracy charges.
The search warrants are being executed by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department, and appear to be identical to the one executed at the Convergence Center last night.
We are calling for a mass, public meeting at Powderhorn Park, 35th St. and 15th Ave. S. in Minneapolis, at 11:30am today.
We will be holding a follow-up press conference at 4:00 pm in front of our Convergence Center, 627 Smith Ave. in St. Paul.

Search warrants for 2 of the 3 raided houses listed only one name apiece, each of individuals not present at the houses and, thus, not arrested.
