在1月份市政厅活动中用白醋袭击明尼苏达州民主党联邦众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔的明尼阿波利斯男子,将就联邦指控认罪。
安东尼·詹姆斯·卡兹米尔查克对奥马尔的涉嫌袭击事件发生在蕾妮·古德被移民海关执法局(ICE)特工杀害数周后,该事件加剧了联邦官员与民主党州领导人之间的紧张关系。民主党领导层呼吁联邦特工离开明尼苏达州。
今年3月,卡兹米尔查克对一项袭击联邦官员的联邦罪名拒不认罪,但他的律师约翰·福瑟姆在4月份的法庭文件中表示,卡兹米尔查克在与联邦检察官“达成和解”后,将变更认罪态度。卡兹米尔查克的变更认罪听证会定于5月7日举行。
和解的具体细节尚未公布。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系卡兹米尔查克的律师置评。

1月27日市政厅的视频显示,奥马尔演讲期间,卡兹米尔查克冲上舞台。当时她正呼吁国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆辞职,并要求ICE特工离开明尼苏达州。
他掏出一个装有苹果醋和水的注射器,试图将液体泼向这位议员,随后被一名警官制服。
“她不会辞职的,”视频中卡兹米尔查克在谈及诺姆时说道。
卡兹米尔查克还指着奥马尔尖叫道:“你正在分裂明尼苏达人。”
奥马尔并未受伤,卡兹米尔查克被逮捕后,她继续完成了市政厅活动。
“我没事。我是幸存者,所以这点小挑衅不会吓阻我继续开展工作。我不会让恶霸得逞。感谢我出色的选民们支持我。明尼苏达坚强,”奥马尔当时在X平台上发帖写道。

事件发生后,卡兹米尔查克一直被羁押。一名治安法官裁定,袭击指控涉及“极其严重且危险的情况”,如果对卡兹米尔查克保释,无法确保公共安全不受威胁。
调查期间,一名联邦调查局特工约谈了卡兹米尔查克的一名同伙,该同伙称卡兹米尔查克曾说过“应该有人杀了”奥马尔。
“针对美国执法人员和雇员的袭击行为和恐吓行为绝不容忍,”美国检察官丹尼尔·N·罗森说道。“任何从事此类犯罪行为的人都将面临执法部门和联邦检察官的迅速追责。”

Ilhan Omar vinegar attacker changes plea after chaotic onstage rush
April 24, 2026 1:36pm EDT / Fox News
Settlement details are unknown, and a change of plea hearing is scheduled for May 7 in federal court
By Elaine Mallon
The Minneapolis man who sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with vinegar during a January town hall is changing his plea to guilty on federal charges.
Anthony James Kazmierczak’s alleged assault on Omar occurred weeks after Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent, which heightened tensions between federal officials and Democratic state leaders. Democratic leadership called for federal agents to leave Minnesota.
In March, Kazmierczak pleaded not guilty to one federal count of assaulting a United States officer, but an April court filing from his attorney, John Fossum, said Kazmierczak will change his plea to guilty after they have “reached a settlement” with federal prosecutors. Kazmierczak’s change-of-plea hearing is scheduled for May 7.
The details of the settlement are unknown. Fox News Digital reached out to Kazmierczak’s lawyer for comment.

Video of the Jan. 27 town hall showed Kazmierczak rushing the stage as Omar spoke. She was calling for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to step down and for ICE agents to leave Minnesota.
He pulled out a syringe filled with apple cider vinegar and water and attempted to douse the congresswoman with the liquid before an officer stepped in.
“She’s not resigning,” Kazmierczak said in the video, referring to Noem.
Kazmierczak also pointed his finger at Omar, screaming, “You’re splitting Minnesotans apart.”
Omar was not injured and continued her town hall after Kazmierczak was arrested.

“I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong,” Omar wrote in a post on X at the time.

Since the incident, Kazmierczak has been held in custody. A magistrate judge ruled that the “exceedingly serious and dangerous circumstances” of the assault allegations make it impossible to ensure that public safety is not at risk if Kazmierczak is released on bail.
During the investigation, an FBI agent interviewed an associate of Kazmierczak, who claimed Kazmierczak once said “somebody should kill” Omar.

“Assaultive behavior and acts of intimidation directed at officers and employees of the United States will not be tolerated,” said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen. “Persons who engage in this criminal conduct can expect a swift response from law enforcement and federal prosecutors.
