A Texas man claiming to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, an anti-government extremist group, faces federal charges of plotting to incite a riot as prosecutors say the man opened fire on a Minneapolis police precinct amid protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, traveled to Minnesota at the end of May to organize, participate in, and engage in a riot, and committed “an act of violence in furtherance of a riot,” according to a federal criminal complaint (pdf) released on Oct. 23, and as detailed in an attached affidavit.
