Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is causing “tragedy after tragedy” in Minneapolis, claimed Democrat City Council Member Aisha Chughtai after describing the arrest of a “woman” who “was our neighbor” early Thursday morning. That “woman,” however, was Kyle Wagner — a cross-dressing man known publicly as “Antifa Kyle,” who allegedly threatened “to assault, kill, and doxx officers” in Minneapolis.

“This morning, you know, so early, dozens of my neighbors were woken up because ICE agents broke down an apartment building’s door, and two dozen agents went in and arrested a woman that was our neighbor and it’s just — we’re continuing to experience tragedy after tragedy,” said Chughtai, the “first Muslim woman” to serve on the Minneapolis City Council, according to a government website.

The Democrat city council member failed to disclose that the “woman” was cross-dressing, self-proclaimed “Antifa Kyle,” and that law enforcement was carrying out an arrest warrant.

Chughtai told the council she had been on the scene. Her afternoon remarks were a follow-up to earlier remarks she made on social media platform Bluesky.

“I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… B*LLS*IT.”

The Daily Wire contacted the Department of Justice regarding Chughtai’s claim that the arrest was made without a warrant and obtained both a copy of Wagner’s arrest warrant and a court-presented video allegedly showing Antifa Kyle spitting on a federal agent.

Wagner’s arrest follows a series of alarming social media videos. After the killing of Alex Pretti, Wagner posted a video encouraging his followers to take up arms on the streets of Minneapolis.

“Show up ready to go. Not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” Wagner said, calling on people to “march … with guns” and saying, “the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s going to keep you f*cking protected from literal f*cking Nazi gunmen.”

“Get your f*cking guns, and stop these f*cking people,” he added.

Wagner then made a subsequent video requesting “large sums of money” from his followers. He told his audience the link to his Venmo was in his Instagram profile and that the money would go to his emergency freedom and defense fund.

“I’m not going to tell you what I’m spending my money on,” Wagner added. “I’m not gonna tell you why I need you to give me large sums of money right now. I just want you to understand that this is an actual guerrilla war in our streets now. They’re using live ammunition to kill our citizens. I need everyone to show up, fully prepared — whatever that means to you — to whatever degree you can.”

In other videos, Wagner was seen wearing women’s clothing. Clad in a red spaghetti-strap dress, hoop earrings, and heeled boots, he said, “I do this all year, all the time. I do this for me … I like to get real clean and pretty and go out and shoot pool or get dinner and go dance.”

Council Member Aisha Chughtai did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for an updated comment on the arrest.

The Algerian boxer who dominated women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics admitted to both having a gene only present in males and to taking hormone treatments to lower his testosterone. 

Imane Khelif, the 26-year-old who made headlines for competing as a woman despite failing multiple gender tests, told the French outlet L’Équipe on Wednesday that he had SRY (sex-determining region Y), a gene that determines male sex. Khelif also told the outlet that he took hormones to lower his testosterone levels before competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

“I have female hormones. And people don’t know this, but I have taken hormone treatments to lower my testosterone levels for competitions,” Khelif said. “For the Paris Games qualifying tournament, which took place in Dakar, I lowered my testosterone levels to zero.”

Khelif won the gold in the women’s welterweight division at the Olympics and did not lose a single round during the entire competition. That came after Khelif failed two gender tests administered by the International Boxing Association in 2019 and 2023, which is not affiliated with the Olympic Committee. 

Khelif argued that “it’s natural” to have the SRY gene. “We all have different genetics, different hormone levels. I’m not transgender. My difference is natural. This is who I am. I haven’t done anything to change the way nature made me. That’s why I’m not afraid,” he added. 

Reacting to the interview, Marshi Smith and Kim Jones, the co-founders of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, said that it proved that Khelif was male. 

“Algerian Olympic women’s gold medalist Imane Khelif has now confirmed he is male,” they said in a joint statement. “With men no longer eligible for Olympic women’s boxing under World Boxing rules, Khelif reportedly plans to box professionally in Europe—though he inexplicably says he will still undergo sex screening for the LA 2028 Games in hopes of competing.”

The controversy drew international attention, with President Donald Trump weighing in during his 2024 election campaign to say that Khelif was a man. 

“I respect everyone, and I respect Trump. Because he is the President of the United States. But he cannot distort the truth. I am not a trans woman, I am a girl. I was raised as a girl, I grew up as a girl, the people in my village have always known me as a girl,” Khelif said Wednesday. 

In July 2025, a leaked medical report on Khelif revealed the male karyotype, or chromosomal structure. Another report showed that Khelif had 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition impacting males. 

Despite the reports and his admitting to having the SRY gene, Khelif told L’Équipe that he still wants to compete as a woman in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Khelif said he would take another gender test if required for the competition.
