Far-Right Activist Threatens January March on Minneapolis City Hall
A far-right activist who recently clashed with city officials in Dearborn, Michigan is now claiming online that he will lead an anti-Islam march on Minneapolis City Hall early next year—though there is no independent confirmation or permit record showing the event is scheduled.

Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 rioter who has since become a frequent presence at anti-Islam demonstrations, posted on social media this week that a group he calls “Americans Against Islamification” will “march on the City Hall of Minneapolis” on January 17, 2026. In the same post, Lang referred to Minneapolis as a “Somalian dictatorship” and claimed federal immigration authorities would soon be deployed to Minneapolis and Dearborn. No federal agency has issued any announcement supporting that claim.
Local Minneapolis media, city-permit databases, and public-meeting notices show no filings, approvals, or advisory notices connected to any protest or march involving Lang or his organization. Minneapolis officials have also not issued alerts regarding any planned demonstration for that date.
Lang’s new claim comes days after a widely covered confrontation in Dearborn, where he led an anti-Islam protest on November 18. During that demonstration, Lang attempted to burn a Quran, according to reports from local outlets and national wire services. When the book did not ignite, video shows him striking it with a strip of bacon, prompting an angry response from counter-protesters and a significant police presence.
Following the street demonstration, Lang and several supporters entered the Dearborn City Council meeting, where he spoke during public comment while wearing a tactical vest. Video from the Detroit News shows Lang being escorted out after exceeding his allotted speaking time and disrupting the meeting. Dearborn’s mayor later condemned the group’s behavior, and Lang has since filed a $200 million lawsuit against the city and its police department over the incident.
As of now, Lang’s January march on Minneapolis exists only as an online claim, with no verification from city officials, law-enforcement agencies, or local newsrooms. Minneapolis community groups and residents have begun circulating screenshots of the post, but authorities have not issued warnings or public statements about any potential unrest.
