U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the organizers and funders behind the ICE-hunting groups in Minnesota will be held accountable, declaring, “justice is coming.”

Homan, who now leads President Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities, held a morning news conference in Minneapolis to discuss his progress following discussions with Governor Tim Walz (D), Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D).

“Jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities are sanctuaries for criminals,” Homan stated. “It endangers the residents of the communities.”

The leftist worldview just got a lot shakier.

The names of the federal agents reportedly involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti in January were publicized Sunday by a leftist website.

And if the names are correct, they destroy the narrative Americans have been fed for more than a week.

Both men are Hispanics hailing from South Texas. One is an agent for Border Patrol, the other is with Customs and Border Protection, according to Pro Publica.

There has been over a 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE since the Trump administration started the president’s second term.

Antifa militants who have usually taken to identifying and doxing people on the right side of the political aisle have switched gears, working to identify and dox ICE agents in recent months.

An ICE agent who pepper-sprayed an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis was filmed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune in Minnesota recently, and now the “Pacific Antifascist Research Collective” has claimed to identify the ICE agent. The Antifa cell, which claims to be an “autonomous group of anti-fascist researchers dedicated to providing communities from the Rockies to the Pacific with research and tools to protect themselves from fascism,” posted the reported identity of the ICE agent to Bluesky.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has warned his fellow Democrats that a government shutdown would not halt Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, noting that the agency is already funded under existing law.

Fetterman issued the warning as Democrats refuse to support a broader spending package that includes ICE funding.

Speaking on Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing,” Fetterman said it is “absolutely true” that a shutdown would have little effect on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE.

“This is my daughter’s middle school. I’m pulling my child today… being allowed to protest ICE agents, disrupting traffic… This is f*cking unbelievable.”

An Auburn, Washington mother recorded herself removing her seventh-grade child from Olympic Middle School on Friday after learning that students had walked out during the school day to protest federal immigration enforcement. In the video, she described the walkout disrupting traffic, interfering with learning, and creating an environment she did not believe was safe for her child or for parents approaching the campus.

Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s “documented history of inflicting significant harm on immigrant communities and communities of color nationwide,” prompted the Stanford University student government to support a nationwide “walkout” last Friday.

The Undergraduate Senate accused ICE agents of creating harm via “aggressive raids, family separation, prolonged detention, racial profiling, and the use of force in civilian spaces, resulting in lasting psychological, economic, and physical harm to students and their families.”

The resolution passed the student senate 11-0 on Wednesday and the Graduate Student Council 11-0-2 on Thursday.

‘Basically a war on journalists that are trying to gather information and provide it to the public’

A trio of Minnesota university law professors says the arrests of former CNN pundit Don Lemon and a local journalist for “documenting” the disruption at a recent church service represent an “attack on a free press.”

Lemon and Georgia Fort were indicted last week by a federal grand jury for their alleged role in a January 18 anti-ICE protest inside Cities Church in St. Paul, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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!”

The leftist media cabal constantly imagine themselves as the grand embodiment of Democracy and Freedom of Speech, even as they seek to put Republicans in jail and hope to censor them out of speaking on social media. They don’t live up to their First Amendment boasting.

For example, there’s CNN International host Christiane Amanpour, whose leftist ravings are also broadcast on PBS stations. On January 23, Amanpour led off her show with this attack on President Trump: “He says he’s bringing free speech back to America, but one year into Trump 2.0, few presidents have done as much to degrade civil liberties and muzzle the free press. Former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron joins me to discuss how American journalism can survive.

The Trump administration notified Congress on Tuesday that it has completed a “preliminary review” of the fatal Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti, laying out a minute-by-minute account of the encounter and identifying the two federal agents who fired their weapons.

Pretti, 37, a U.S. Veterans Affairs intensive care unit nurse, died after a confrontation with Border Patrol agents during federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis on Saturday.

According to the report, agents with Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection were conducting enforcement actions near the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street as part of Operation Metro Surge. Officials said several civilians were present in the area, some of them “yelling and blowing whistles” as agents worked.

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.”

A Democrat running to be Ohio’s attorney general promised to kill President Donald Trump if he wins the November election.

Elliot Forhan, a former state representative and current attorney general candidate, posted a plan outlining how he would “kill Donald Trump.”

“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said in a video. “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment. That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump.”

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.

In a hilarious turn of events, the anti-ICE agitators have now begun demonstrating outside the offices of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for considering working with federal agents.

Dozens of protesters were seen screaming “justice delayed is justice denied” outside of the Walz’s office. Many were wielding homemade signs condemning ICE and federal law enforcement.
