A disruption at a Minneapolis town hall has now turned into a serious federal case after authorities moved forward with assault charges tied to the incident involving Rep. Ilhan Omar. Federal prosecutors say Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, is facing a charge of assaulting a federal official after he rushed toward Ilhan Omar during a town hall event Tuesday night. A criminal complaint filed by the Justice Department alleges he used a syringe filled with apple cider vinegar during the confrontation. According to the affidavit, Kazmierczak charged the stage as Omar stood at the podium and later told authorities, “I squirted vinegar,” after being restrained by security. Images included in the filing show a syringe that investigators say was recovered at the scene. The incident happened as Omar criticized Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and called for her resignation. While being escorted away, Kazmierczak allegedly shouted, “She’s not resigning. You’re splitting Minnesotans apart,” according to the court filing. In addition to the federal case, Kazmierczak has been charged in Hennepin County with one felony count of terroristic threats and one count of fifth-degree assault. County Attorney Mary Moriarty described the incident as “a disturbing assault on Rep. Omar, who is frequently the target of vilifying language by fellow elected officials and members of the public.” The affidavit also states that a close associate told the FBI Kazmierczak previously said, “Someone should kill that b***h,” during a phone call about Omar several years ago. After the attack, Omar pointed directly to the political climate fueled by Donald Trump. “Blame is very interesting, but facts are more important,” she said at a news conference. “Every time the president of the United States has chosen to use hateful rhetoric to talk about me and the community that I represent, my death threats skyrocket.” She later added, “You know, I’ve survived more, and I’m definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think that they can throw at me because I’m built that way.” U.S. Capitol Police data shows threats against members of Congress rose more than 50 percent from 2024 to 2025, a trend officials say remains deeply concerning.

What looked like a closed chapter in Jordan Chiles’ Olympic journey is suddenly back on the table. The Team USA gymnast may ultimately be allowed to keep her Paris 2024 bronze medal after the Swiss Federal Supreme Court acknowledged issues in the way her case was originally handled. On Thursday, January 29, USA Gymnastics confirmed that the court granted part of Chiles’ appeal, reopening the door on a medal that was taken from her months earlier. Chiles was stripped of the bronze in August 2024 following a dispute tied to her floor exercise final. At the center of the controversy was a score inquiry submitted by her coach, Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, which pushed Chiles into third place. Romania later challenged that inquiry, claiming it was submitted after the one-minute deadline. The Court of Arbitration for Sport agreed, leading the IOC and FIG to reassign the medal to Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu. Now, Switzerland’s top court says there is reason to reconsider. “In the highly exceptional circumstances of the case in question, it considers that there is a likelihood for the audio-visual recording of the final on 5 August 2024 to lead to a modification of the contested award in favour of the applicants,” the Swiss Federal Tribunal said in a statement issued Friday, Jan. 23. The court noted that CAS could determine “that the verbal inquiry made on behalf of Jordan Chiles had been made before the expiry of the regulatory one-minute time limit.” USA Gymnastics made clear it is standing firmly behind Chiles. “We look forward to a fair arbitration that includes the clear evidence proving the inquiry into Jordan’s score was filed well within one minute as required by FIG rules,” the organization said. Chiles’ attorney, Maurice Suh, also praised the decision. “We are delighted that the Swiss Federal Supreme Court has righted a wrong and given Jordan the chance she deserves to reclaim her bronze medal,” Suh said. “As the Court recognized, there is ‘conclusive’ video evidence that Jordan was the rightful winner of the bronze medal.” Suh added, “We also appreciate the Court’s recognition that ‘extraordinary time pressure’ and notification defects prevented Jordan from presenting this important evidence in August 2024. We appreciate that Jordan will receive a full and fair opportunity to defend her bronze medal.” For Chiles, who once said she wanted to reclaim her own narrative, the fight for that bronze is far from over.
