🚨 A volunteer bike repair shop in Minneapolis has been named by federal prosecutors as part of an alleged "antifa" conspiracy. No evidence was offered, according to newly released court records.
The Grease Pit is a community shop where people learn to fix their own bikes. It appeared on a PowerPoint slide shown to a grand jury, listed alongside labor unions, a teachers union, and Veterans for Peace. The records, filed Thursday in the case against 15 Minnesota activists, describe a months-long Homeland Security surveillance operation with undercover agents at boxing lessons and art club meetings, plus license plate tracking outside a church.
"With no evidence, the government alleged to the grand jury that the conspiracy in this case extends far beyond the defendants to include the AFL-CIO, the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, Monarca, Veterans for Peace, and the Grease Pit bicycle repair shop, among others," defense attorney Kevin Riach wrote in a court filing.
None of the organizations named has been charged with any crime.
