DNC Insurrection

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.

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.

Grace Carol Brown is accused of smashing a window, unlawfully entering the Comal County Republican Party headquarters, and starting a deliberate fire inside.

A 21-year-old Texas woman has been charged with arson and burglary after allegedly breaking into and setting fire to a Republican Party headquarters in New Braunfels, an incident GOP leaders say reflects a troubling escalation of political extremism.

Newsmax reported that authorities identified the suspect as Grace Carol Brown, who was arrested on January 22, 2026, following a joint investigation involving local law enforcement and the FBI. Brown is accused of smashing an exterior window, unlawfully entering the Comal County Republican Party headquarters, and starting a deliberate fire inside the building.

According to officials, employees arriving at the headquarters on January 14 discovered broken windows and evidence of a small fire, prompting an immediate response from the New Braunfels Police Department and Fire Department. The fire caused minor damage, and no injuries were reported, but Republican officials emphasized that the act appeared intentional and targeted. Police said investigators from the New Braunfels Police Department, the New Braunfels Fire Marshal’s Office, and the FBI’s San Antonio office worked together to identify the suspect, gather evidence, and obtain search and arrest warrants.

There are a multitude of stories emerging from the ongoing unrest in Minnesota, but the Elitist Media have settled on one of them to put forward in furtherance of narrative at the expense of other, more inconvenient stories. One of those stories remained hidden from the broadcast nightly news until tonight.

Per Minneapolis’ own Fox 9:

Two women have been charged after allegedly biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol agents in the moments that followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Earlier this week, President Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to speak personally with leaders in Minnesota. In the latest update to those exchanges, President Trump called out a top official at the center of the controversy for refusing to cooperate with the administration.

On Wednesday morning, Trump issued a stern warning to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) after Frey indicated on Tuesday afternoon he was not going to enforce federal immigration law.

‘He is PLAYING WITH FIRE!’

Frey posted a short thread to X summarizing his position, stating that Minneapolis “will not enforce federal immigration law, and that we will remain focused on keeping our neighbors and streets safe.”

Trump noted his surprise at Frey’s apparent switchback following a “very good conversation with him”: “Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the Law, and that he is PLAYING WITH FIRE!”

Citizens of Virginia will face a key vote on whether to enshrine the murder of preborn babies into their state constitution.

After the Democratic Party achieved massive victories in Old Dominion during the 2025 off-year elections, they were able to pass House Joint Resolution 1 in a decisive vote.

The measure will place a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” ballot question before voters this fall, according to a report from The Christian Post.

If passed, the Virginia Constitution would be amended to say that “every individual has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including the ability to make and carry out decisions related to one’s own prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, abortion care, miscarriage management, and fertility care.”

Kirk Bangstad, the Wisconsin owner of Minocqua Brewing Company, has openly expressed extreme hostility toward President Donald Trump, conservatives, and anyone who does not share his far-left ideology.

Bangstad, who was ordered to pay a six-figure sum for defamation in 2023 and was charged with harassment last year, has a long record of incendiary rhetoric.

The beermaker is also treasurer of a far-left federal super PAC bearing the same name as his brewing company.

Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Bangstad wrote, “F**k Charlie Kirk.”

Rather than stand firm, crush the blatant insurrection against federal authority in Minnesota, and emulate his hero Andrew Jackson, President Donald Trump blinked.

Trump announced Monday that he had a “very good call” with Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and that the governor had requested they “work together with respect to Minnesota.”

That same day, Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey revealed he had also spoken with Trump and that they both “agreed the present situation can’t continue.”

This might shock you, but it’s true. A Soros-funded district attorney in a Democrat run city is threatening lawfare against ICE agents. He even called them “nazis” and threatened to hunt them down for their war crimes of *checks notes* enforcing existing immigration laws. We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website are sure his desperation, as well as his progressive peers, has nothing to do with a new map showing how many congressional seats his state is losing WITHOUT the past deportations.

First, the Soros-funded Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.

This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are. In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.

He sounds just like the commie officials in Chicago, and Minneapolis, and New York City, and California. They’ve gone all in on protecting illegal immigrants at the expense of actual American citizens.

The belief amongst many of us to the right of Karl Marx or Zohran Mamdani is that, among other reasons, it is because Democrats insist on counting illegals when it comes to the census to game the system. However, that’s one side of the argument. The other side would argue that, according to “experts” and “independent” “fact” “checkers,” there isn’t a signed affidavit admitting where democrats admit that they are doing this, so it’s not true.

“Nobody elected him to be [President Franklin Delano Roosevelt], they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos,” then-Rep. Abigail Spanberger harshly said of then-President Joe Biden in 2021, after her Democratic Party lost the governorship of Virginia. Her point was that Biden had followed a radical agenda that betrayed how he had run and how the media had presented him: as a moderate.

Biden’s sudden radicalism in his first year in office, she seemed to be saying, lost her party the election.

More than 100 community members, including parents, attended a meeting of the West Chicago City Council to demand they take action against an elementary school teacher who posted about immigration.

West Chicago Mayor Daniel Bovey also joined the mob in calling on Gary Elementary School to get rid of the teacher for showing support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

‘We want to ensure our schools are safe spaces, and we look forward to seeing all students back in school.’

“We have kids in our school districts, in this school specifically, who have lost a mom or dad or family member within the last three months. They’re going home wondering if they will ever see Mom or Dad again,” Bovey said.

The teacher’s outrageous statement was composed of only two words: “Go ICE.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has the opportunity to stifle Virginia Democrats’ tyrannical bid to restrict their constituents’ Second Amendment rights. The question is: Will they?

While much of the country was focused on the latest immigration-related news out of Minnesota on Monday, Virginia Senate Democrats quietly advanced an amended bill that would effectively criminalize hundreds of thousands of gun owners across the commonwealth. SB 749 seeks to outlaw the importation, sale, manufacturing, purchase, or transfer of an “assault firearm,” which the measure redefines as a “semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds.”

The Trump administration’s response to the weekslong insurrection in Minneapolis showed left-wing leaders across the country one thing: Riots work.

Weeks of left-wing rioting and obstruction of federal immigration enforcement operations have resulted in the federal government apparently giving major concessions to Minnesota Democrats, and now, Democrats in other states and cities are emboldened to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from doing their job.

As his first executive order after taking office on Jan. 1, Sean Ryan, Democrat mayor of Buffalo, New York, decided on Monday to prohibit “the use of City of Buffalo personnel or resources for federal civil immigration enforcement.”

Blurb:

President Donald Trump appears to be backing down in Minneapolis — not because the situation has improved, but because Democrat officials who are still openly declaring their opposition to immigration enforcement have apparently pressured him into retreat.

After months of open defiance of federal immigration law, weeks of unrest, and a second fatal shooting involving federal agents, the Trump administration demanded on Sunday that Walz, Frey, and other Democrat leaders “cooperate … to enforce our Nation’s Laws.” In part, he specifically called on state and local prisons to turn over illegal aliens in custody and called on local police to “assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.” But two days later, the president is reportedly planning to withdraw some forces in Minneapolis.

It was a wild weekend with the Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis on Saturday.

We don’t know all the facts in the case yet. But the Democrats were off to the races, declaring it “murder.” They’ve helped to incite the anti-ICE and anti-DHS agitators. Immediately, there was violence in the wake of the shooting, with an ICE agent having his finger bitten off by a rioter and protesters attacking a hotel they thought ICE agents were staying at.

Minnesota officials are considering filing state criminal charges against federal immigration officers involved in two deadly shootings in Minneapolis.

Federal agents typically enjoy a degree of immunity under federal law, which could complicate efforts to prosecute the officers.

The first shooting involved 37-year-old Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent earlier this month during an immigration raid. The authorities claim she tried to run the agent over with her vehicle. However, some dispute this claim, citing video evidence appearing to show Good trying to drive away from the scene before the agent opened fire.

The second involves a 37-year-old ICU nurse named Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot during an immigration enforcement operation near a protest in south Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed Pretti approached officers with a firearm.

A mob of anti-ICE agitators laid siege to a Minneapolis hotel Sunday night, smashing windows, trashing the lobby and injuring at least one federal law enforcement officer, after local police withdrew.

The city’s chaotic anti-ICE operations spiraled into a violent frenzy Saturday after an agitator was shot dead by a federal officer during an altercation. Alex Pretti, 37, was carrying a Sig Sauer P320-AXG COMBAT, a high-capacity 9 mm pistol as he filmed Border Patrol agents executing a targeted immigration enforcement operation.

Tricia McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the officers were responding to a man who had a gun with two magazines and fired “defensive shots.”

The situation in Minnesota is out of control, and finally, happy hands lunatic Tim Walz has chosen reason, deciding to cooperate with Trump officials in the wake of the recent shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday. It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed. Meanwhile, some conservatives claimed wrongly that he was about to commit mass slaughter before he was shot—Pretti was legally carrying a firearm at the protest. It’s created a total mess on messaging, and now Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, appointing Tom Homan, who I assume is going to be the point person, not just of the overall operation in the state, but with Walz personally in resolving this matter (via Fox 21/Associated Press):

For all Democrats bragged about Gov. Tim Walz’s years as an educator, it’s a good thing he didn’t teach English.

The Minnesota chief executive, whose watch included a welfare fraud scandal that robbed potentially billions from Minnesota and American taxpayers, launched a rhetorical salvo Sunday against President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement by using one of the best-known symbols of Holocaust history.

And — true to “knucklehead” form — he got the comparison completely wrong.

As Fox News reported, Walz was engaged in a lengthy discourse about Saturday’s shooting of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis — a discourse that was equally partisan and predictable — when he strayed into the dark days of World War II.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said.

“Somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now.”

“We look at all this stuff. As soon as Higby put that post out I opened an investigation on it.”

FBI Director Kash Patel has opened up an investigation into anti-ICE Signal chat networks in Minnesota after a report on the chats was published by independent journalist Cam Higby.

“We look at all this stuff. As soon as Higby put that post out I opened an investigation on it,” Patel said of the chats while speaking to Benny Johnson.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that federal agents were in the area executing a lawful operation to apprehend an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when they encountered armed rioter Alex Pretti.

DHS stated that Pretti was armed with a loaded nine-millimeter semi-automatic handgun and two magazines, posing an immediate and lethal threat to federal officers and the public. The agency later released a photograph of the weapon recovered at the scene.

After campaigning on “affordability,” Virginia state Democrats have introduced a measure to more than double their salaries, now that fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger is in the Governor’s Mansion, giving them control of all three branches of their state’s government.

“Virginia Democrats are now trying to give themselves a PAY RAISE after proposing thousands of dollars in new taxes hammering working families, the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus warned in a X.com post highlighting how the legislators’ pay raise would hurt taxpayers:

“They ran on ‘affordability,’ but all they’ve done is introduce insane left-wing policies and take from your pocket to line their own. TOTAL CON JOB!”

Democrats are getting people killed.

Governor Tim Walz was recently filmed on the gate of his Minnesota mansion inciting protesters to violence and to oppose federal ICE operations amid escalating violent unrest in Minneapolis after multiple shootings involving federal agents. In that same climate of defiance, an armed man — Alex Pretti — was shot and killed during a confrontation with federal agents, which has further inflamed tensions.

Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said during a Sunday morning CNN appearance that his party’s caucus cannot support a government shutdown-averting bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which he claimed was “murdering American citizens.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,  in a Saturday statement, vowed his party’s caucus “will not provide the votes” necessary to pass a spending package which includes a DHS funding bill. The declaration came hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Murphy appeared to agree with Schumer, saying on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash” that “Democrats are not going to vote” for the package — that if not passed by its Jan. 30 deadline would launch the country into a partial government shutdown.”

A federal agent had his finger bitten off by a far-left agitator amid the latest flare-up of unrest in Minneapolis.

Hundreds of protesters and agitators flooded the streets of south Minneapolis on Saturday after Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old anti-ICE activist, was shot and killed after allegedly pulling a gun on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that the incident occurred during an immigration enforcement operation targeting an illegal alien wanted for violent assault. Footage from the scene shows Pretti intervening as agents attempted to make an arrest, at which point a struggle ensued.

Intentionally or not, the PBS News Hour exhibited a liberal double standard in descriptions in a story by Liz Landers from Minneapolis, where residents are apparently being persecuted under ICE.

A long 13-minute Thursday segment, which was capped with two guests, one from the Trump administration and one from the Obama administration, twice underlined that anti-ICE protester Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, but the November murder of another federal law officer in Washington, D.C. was downgraded to a mere “shooting.”

An armed man the Department of Homeland Security says was determined to interfere with Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was killed in a struggle Saturday morning.

The incident, the second shooting involving federal efforts to round up illegal immigrants in Minneapolis, sparked riots.

“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun,” DHS said in a post on X.

“The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID — this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” the post said.

Donald Trump has agreed to pull ICE agents out of Minnesota after another fatal shooting of an American citizen in the state, Governor Tim Walz has said. The US President held a phone call with the Governor following the killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot dead during protests in Minneapolis on Saturday.

In a statement, Walz’s office said: “The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case.

“The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.”
