Organized protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions across the nation have begun spilling over into public school classrooms as videos surface of teachers leading their students in walkouts.

In recent days, a wave of anti-ICE protests have taken place around the nation and public school teachers and their students are becoming participants in walkouts and rallies.

In Asheville, North Carolina, students were filmed streaming out of their school, carrying professionally printed signs as part of a protest against federal immigration enforcement raids.

Last Friday morning, former CNN Anchor Don Lemon was arrested along with three others, in connection with the January 18th anti-ICE attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was later charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violation of the FACE Act, and was released without bail. As expected the liberal media, led by his former CNN colleagues, immediately came to Lemon’s defense, portraying the arrest as vindictive, and a violation of the First Amendment. But that night on Fox, Jesse Watters Primetime laid out a strong case against Lemon.

Shocking video from Portland, Oregon shows staff at the Portland Montessori School leading very young children—some as young as five or six—in an anti-ICE protest, triggering widespread calls for the revocation of any licenses the school holds. Critics say the footage raises serious questions about professional boundaries, parental consent, and the politicization of early childhood education. Educators are entrusted with teaching basic skills and safeguarding children—not using classrooms as staging grounds for ideological activism or involving minors in political demonstrations they are incapable of understanding.

New York City is poised to significantly expand its sanctuary city policies after the City Council voted to override a veto blocking legislation that would prohibit federal immigration agents from operating inside city correctional facilities.

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the Safer Sanctuary Act into law in the coming days.

The new law makes all 19 city-run correctional facilities, including Rikers Island, off-limits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The bill was introduced last year by Democrat Astoria Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Members of the press were mobbed and assaulted by crazed anti-ICE agitators during a violent riot in Los Angeles Saturday night.

“ICE Out” demonstrations in Los Angeles devolved into violence over the weekend, prompting LA police and federal agents to deploy tear gas, pepper balls, and flash bangs to disperse the rioters outside the Federal Building in downtown LA.

Video footage taken by Traffic News Los Angeles (TNLA) during the chaos shows a female photographer being surrounded and harassed by an anti-ICE mob, with agitators yelling “get her!” and “punch her!”

Federal authorities arrested two more suspects in the Minnesota church invasion, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday.

“If you riot in a place of worship, we WILL find you,” Bondi wrote on X.

“We have made two more arrests in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota: Ian Davis Austin and Jerome Deangelo Richardson,” she added.

Both Austin and Richardson appear in the indictment that a federal grand jury handed down Thursday.

In a dramatic appearance on The Dan Bongino Show on Monday, President Donald Trump renewed claims about the 2020 presidential election and signaled that “something” is “about to come out” regarding election wrongdoing in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump’s latest comments come after federal authorities conducted a court-approved search at a Fulton County election facility, seizing ballots and election records.

On the live broadcast, Trump reiterated his long-standing assertions that the 2020 election was stolen. He told listeners that some states were “so crooked” in vote counting that results were manipulated, including in states he claims to have won. Trump said that evidence from the Fulton County search will soon reveal “interesting things,” and urged Republicans to consider “nationalizing the voting.”

For those of us who fled the Islamic Republic decades ago, watching the images of mosques burning across our homeland evokes a complex, visceral cocktail of emotions. To the outside observer, a mosque in flames is a tragedy of religious intolerance. But to the Iranian people – and specifically to those of us who have lived under the suffocating veil of theocratic absolute power – these fires are not acts of “terrorism.” They are acts of exorcism.

We are witnessing more than a political protest; we are seeing a definitive, civilizational uprising against the very concept of the Islamic state. As the smoke rises from Tehran to Mashhad, it signals the end of a forty-seven-year experiment in forced piety. The Iranian people are not just demanding a change in government; they are demanding the return of their soul – a soul that was systematically suppressed in 1979.

To understand why an ex-Muslim Iranian might cheer for the destruction of a “house of God,” one must understand what the mosque has become in the Islamic Republic. For decades, the regime has used the mosque not as a sanctuary, but as a command center.

America’s propaganda media have always applied two very different standards when judging the “ethics and conduct” of U.S. Supreme Court justices. While expending countless resources inventing nothingburger “scandals” of wrongdoing about the court’s originalists, these so-called “defenders of democracy” regularly go out of their way to glamorize the body’s leftist members — no matter how untoward or inappropriate their behavior may seem.

That’s the dynamic that was at play on Sunday evening, when Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended this year’s anti-ICE Grammy Awards. The Biden appointee made an appearance at the event following the nomination for “best audio book, narration and storytelling recording” for her 2024 memoir, according to USA Today.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A coalition of 47 conservative organizations is launching a campaign to challenge the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which the groups claim redefined marriage to emphasize the desires of adults over the needs of children.

The “Greater Than” campaign focuses on one message, which a handful of conservative leaders state clearly in a launch video: “Children are greater than equal, and it’s time we fought for their rights.”

The messaging responds to the LGBTQ activist narrative that redefining marriage as between two people, rather than between a man and a woman, involves “equality.”

The man accused of attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar with a mystery liquid at a Minnesota town hall allegedly warned a neighbor in advance that he “might get arrested” at the event, a comment that now reads as a chilling prelude to Tuesday night’s disruption.

Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, is accused of rushing the Democratic congresswoman as she stood at the podium addressing constituents and calling for abolishing ICE, spraying an amber-colored, foul-smelling liquid from a syringe in her direction.

The incident unfolded Tuesday night as Omar was speaking at a town hall in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. Video footage shows a man in a black jacket lunging toward the podium and discharging the liquid. Omar appeared startled but was not reported to have been injured.

The TikTok deal has officially closed, with a “mostly American” investor group mutually led by Oracle and Silber Lake. ByteDance will still have a 20% stake, meaning TikTok will help fund the CCP. The venture will be led by a board that will have a majority of U.S. directors on it.

Deal for TikTok to Operate in U.S. Officially Closes, Desperate Dems of Course Call for an Investigation – RedState

For years, the fate of social media titan TikTok has hung in the balance, with potential deals falling through which would have overcome concerns about just how safe it was for people in the U.S. to use.

One of the concerns over the platform was that with the parent company ByteDance being based in China, it has entaglements with the authoritarian government and Chinese Communist Party. So, in the waning hours of the Biden administration, Congress passed a law that would ban access to the site unless it sold to a new owner outside China.

The new Trump 47 administration also took it up with the Supreme Court in an amicus brief, but SCOTUS chose not to stand in the way of the ban, something that President Trump delayed several times in hopes of making a deal.

Ilhan Omar was giving a speech at Minneapolis when a white man in his 50s approached her and doused her with juice. While the incident was called fake by some, including President Trump, there has been no clear evidence so far to confirm that accusation. The attack comes as news was breaking of a suspicious company Omar owns.

The suspect business is a winery in California that appears to have no infrastructure yet her husband’s stake in the company went from $15k last year to $1-5 million in only one year. Omar’s worth has ballooned from near zero when she took office to over $6 million (or more) today. Her finances are being investigated by the U.S. House Oversight Committee under James Comer (R-KY).

Omar’s 2024 disclosure lists her spouse Tim Mynett’s eStCru LLC stake in Santa Rosa, California, valued between $1 million and $5 million, up sharply from $15,001-$50,000 the year before. The winery shows signs of inactivity—no working phone, empty parking lot, dormant social media—while Mynett faced a settled investor fraud lawsuit and a separate debt claim. House Oversight Chairman James Comer launched a review of her wealth rise from near-zero to $6-30 million, tying it to Minnesota fraud reports, as Trump called for DOJ scrutiny; Omar calls the claims misreadings of broad disclosure ranges.

Signal Chats have been exposed from paid insurrectionists that have been coordinating with Minnesota state officials. The insurrectionists have been intentionally interfering with the legal prosecution of criminal arrests that have been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Now, Minnesota’s Attorney General has been directly connected to the chat. His office created a secret portal for the insurrectionists to use to coordinate their attacks and get information that was used to attack American independent reporters like Cam Higby. It should be noted the activity began shortly after the Somali Fraud scam was exposed by another independent journalist stalked with the help of Ellison’s secret web portal, Nick Shirley.

Anti-ICE Signal chat links members to AG Keith Ellison’s office to report feds in Minnesota – The Post Millennial

Participants were instructed to report federal agents directly to the Minnesota Attorney General’s office using the form.

Activists in a Minnesota Signal chat are reportedly encouraging each other to report federal agents to Attorney General Keith Ellison through a state-run reporting portal created by Ellison’s office. This comes as reports have revealed large, coordinated Signal chats where participants allegedly share real-time information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol movements, which federal authorities now say those activities are under investigation.

As the crucial mid-term elections loom, the Republican Party might break precedent and hold a party convention.

The Republican National Committee’s Rules Committee on Thursday approved the concept of calling a convention, according to Fox News.

The new rule would empower Chairman Joe Gruters “to convene a special ceremonial convention outside a presidential election cycle,” according to an RNC memo.

The memo discussed “the possibility of an America First midterm convention-style gathering aligned with President Trump’s vision for energizing the party this fall.”

Tuesday’s CBS Mornings sought to give viewers a look at “how things turn[ed] chaotic” in Minneapolis with correspondent Lilia Luciano, but she muddied the waters by blaming conservative journalist Nick Shirley for the deadly chaos and refused to acknowledge Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) had removed dangerous criminals from the Twin Cities.

Featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers had a similarly biased lead-in, including downplaying the reality of criminals taken off the streets:

Many Americans have been shocked by the images and stories coming out of Minneapolis these last few weeks. The White House says the surge in Homeland Security agents to the area was about combating fraud along with deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. But here’s the thing, many arrested people have no criminal record. Some say they were stopped at random. So, how did things turn chaotic?

The Minnesota-based federal judge who declined to issue arrest warrants for Don Lemon and several of the radicals accused of storming into Cities Church on Jan. 18 demanded on Tuesday that acting ICE Director Todd Lyons “appear personally before the Court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of Court.”

Despite U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz’s portrayal in the liberal media as a conservative-minded and “mild-mannered George W. Bush appointee,” it appears that Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin’s characterization of Schiltz as “just another activist judge” is more apt.

The weekend before last, a mob of Leftists, including Don Lemon, stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, MN. Three of the agitators were arrested and almost immediately released by judges, while another judge refused to sign off on the arrest warrant for Lemon. It turns out that judge, Douglas L. Micko, is married to a woman who reportedly works in AG Keith Ellison’s office.

Climate science has been hijacked by philosophical globalism and alarmism, psychology research is controlled by gender, anti-racism, and decolonization ideologies, and unorthodox studies are shunned and blackballed.

So say Breakthrough Institute senior fellow Patrick Brown, Benjamin Lovett from Teachers College, Columbia University, and Andrea Clements, the assistant chair of East Tennessee State University’s Department of Psychology, in interviews with The College Fix and panels they have taken part in over the last year.

Ideological, political, and corporate interests now influence research and its outcomes, say the trio of scientists representing the fields of psychology and climate science.

Washington state prison officials privately acknowledged that “trans” men could have more sinister motives for wanting to be housed with females.

A group of “gender affirming” mental health specialists discussed how to prevent inmates from requesting sex-changes for “secondary gain” rather than gender dysphoria during an internal monthly meeting. Secondary gain is a psychiatric term that describes the benefits a person with a mental disorder gleans from their neurosis such as “extra attention, sympathy, avoidance of work, and domination of others,” according to the American Psychological Association.

“The topic was on secondary gain and how certain individuals want gender affirming services, but it is not due to gender dysphoria,” the September 2024 meeting notes show. “The question was asked how to prevent that,” the records state.

Legal gun owners’ Second Amendment rights are under threat in Virginia after the Democrat-controlled government workshopped a bill that would effectively criminalize anyone who possesses a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.

Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger claims to “respect the Second Amendment and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” In the first days of the new gubernatorial administration, however, the Democrat trifecta and triplex under Spanberger committed the state to infringe on Virginians’ right to bear arms. Under SB749, countless “responsible” Virginia gun owners could be classified as criminals for possessing guns and magazines that they legally acquired.

The story of the Canadian woman, known as Mrs. B, who was killed by euthanasia after her spouse experienced care-giver distress, even though she had requested palliative care, has been reported by several media reports.

To provide greater context I went to the original MDRC committee report of the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario titled: Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions. This was the MDRC 2024 – Fourth report.

When examining Same Day or Next Day euthanasia provisions the MDRC report states:

A small proportion (4.8%) of all Track 1 MAiD deaths occurred on the same day or next day of a request for MAiD. In 2023, 65 MAiD provisions (1.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the same day of a request and 154 MAiD provisions (3.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the next day of a request.

A recent investigative report by Newsweek has exposed troubling connections between the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — America’s largest socialist organization — and officials linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These revelations demand serious scrutiny because the DSA has achieved growing political influence in recent years. This influence reached a new peak with the 2025 election of longtime DSA member Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

The Newsweek report drew on dozens of internal DSA documents, including meeting minutes and presentation materials dating back to 2021. These records show the DSA’s international committee actively pursuing closer relations with CCP-affiliated entities, often framed as solidarity in the fight against “U.S. imperialism.” In one striking example from a 2025 meeting of the DSA China Working Group, a New York-based member stated: “China wants to interface with the DSA … If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals, and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we’re golden.”

Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase on Wednesday agreed to match $1,000 contributions to President Donald Trump’s new “Trump accounts.”

Trump accounts include a $1,000 stipend for eligible children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028. The Trump administration has pitched it as an important pro-natalist move to help families financially. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, the two largest U.S. banks by assets, are the latest banks to throw their weight behind the measure.

“JPMorgan Chase has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the financial health and well-being of all of our employees and their families around the world, including more than 190,000 here in the United States,” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a release. “By matching this contribution, we’re making it easier for them to start saving early, invest wisely, and plan for their family’s financial future.”

A Virginia judge on Tuesday ruled that a Democrat-led effort to radically redraw the state’s congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections is invalid.

The ruling has dealt a major setback to plans that would have dramatically reshaped the state’s House delegation.

Another major hospital is throwing in the towel and ceasing to “transition” gender-confused minors thanks to conditions on federal funding, this time in the heart of pro-LGBT territory.
