The homes of several leaders of the Twin Cities antiwar movement were
raided Friday by the FBI in what an agency spokesman described as an
“investigation into activities concerning the material support of
terrorism.”<br><br>
Search warrants were executed on six addresses in Minneapolis and at two
in Chicago, said FBI spokesman Steve Warfield.<br><br>
Among the homes raided were the apartments of Jessica Sundin, who was a
principal leader of the mass march of 10,000 on the opening day of the
Republican National Convention two years ago, and Mick Kelly, who was
prominent in that protest and among those who announced plans to march on
the Democratic National Convention in Minneapolis, if the city is
selected to host it in 2012.<br><br>
Ted Dooley, an attorney, said he had reviewed the search warrant issued
in the raid on Kelly’s apartment. “It’s a probe into the political
beliefs of American citizens and to any organization anywhere that
opposes the American imperial design,” he said.<br><br>
Steve Warfield, an FBI agent, declined to respond to Dooley’s comment. He
said in a statement Friday, “We are doing six federal search warrants in
Minneapolis that are related to an ongoing Joint Terrorism Task Force
investigation into activities concerning the material support of
terrorism. We are doing two search warrants in Chicago as well.”<br><br>
He said the raids were conducted at about 7 a.m., but he declined to say
who or what addresses were being raided.<br><br>
Mick Kelly, who lives on the 1800 block of Riverside Av. in Minneapolis,
said in a telephone interview that the FBI kicked down his door, handed
him a search warrant and began inspecting his files. He said eight FBI
agents were involved in the raid.<br><br>
