Overview

• FBI, DEA, Homeland Security Investigations and IRS agents executed eight sealed search warrants across the Twin Cities on June 3 after uncovering 900 pounds of crystal meth in Burnsville.
• Rumors that ICE was conducting an immigration sweep at Cuatro Milpas led roughly 100 protesters to confront a multi-agency task force at the Lake Street restaurant.
• Lopez, 27, faces federal charges of assaulting, resisting and impeding officers after allegedly kicking an FBI agent, throwing a softball at a sheriff’s deputy and punching another agent during her arrest.
• More than 70 supporters rallied outside the Sherburne County Jail where Lopez is held, raising concerns about free speech and the timing of her street arrest following a journalist interview.
• U.S. Attorney’s Office officials say the search warrants will remain under seal to protect the integrity of the ongoing money laundering and narcotics investigation.
