Insane Clown Posse To Discuss Fans, Gang Label

The rap-metal duo Insane Clown Posse is attending a Detroit news conference to discuss a dispute between its fans and federal authorities.

Insane Clown Posse fans are called Juggalos. In 2011, the FBI included Juggalos in a national report on gangs. Lawyers for Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit seeking documents that would explain how the FBI made that designation. The case is pending in Flint federal court.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is holding a news conference Wednesday to announce action on behalf of Juggalos. No other details have been released.
