Federal prosecutors served six grand jury subpoenas Tuesday to Minnesota officials as part of an investigation into whether they obstructed or impeded federal law enforcement during a sweeping immigration operation in Minneapolis-St. Paul area, a person familiar with the matter said.
The subpoenas, which seek records, were sent to the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and officials in Ramsey and Hennepin counties, the person said.
The person was not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The more you pull the thread on the chaos and corruption currently overtaking Minnesota, the more you see clearly the ways that the Democrat Party is both the beast and the feeder of the beast.
Take, for instance, Jamael Lundy. Lundy is a top aide to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty; he serves as her intergovernmental affairs coordinator, which means his job is to interact with local, state, and federal officials. Lundy also runs a company called, “Homes for Homies Property Management LLC,” which claims to “provid[e] affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.”
Oh, and Lundy is married to St. Paul City Council member Anika Bowie. He’s got the perfect progressive resume, including stints with Minnesota House Rep. Carlos Mariani (D), the Democrat House Caucus Campaign, Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-04), and the state teachers’ union.
Patricia Golder, a migrant from Mauritania, exposed her whole alleged racket buying off judges and exploiting fraud-enabling immigration laws that allows her to set up illegal immigrants for life on the U.S. tax dollar, which also makes them indebted to her forever because she could get them arrested by ICE anytime she wanted to.
At one point Golder revealed how she deals with Immigration Judges, “If I can get to the judge. You know, that’s the only person you want to talk to is the judge. I make conversation with them. You say, ‘I have this boy there and I need help. You work that day?’ If the judge says, ‘Yeah,’ Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you
In exclusive footage obtained by Townhall, evidence has emerged suggesting that migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania are exploiting the U.S. immigration and asylum system in Lockland, Ohio, raising serious questions about the integrity and oversight of the process.
The footage includes allegations that some migrants are being coached on how to navigate the asylum system, encouraged to fabricate claims to meet legal thresholds, and informed — according to sources on the ground — that favorable rulings can be secured through illicit means. These claims point to systemic vulnerabilities that make the immigration system susceptible to abuse and corruption.
At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants’ favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers.
In the 26-minute video, the undercover reporter is introduced to Golder by one of Golder’s friends, identified as Cindy Reis, who says Golder helps Mauritanian migrants get their papers.

The Trump administration’s new dietary guidelines urging Americans to eat far more meat and dairy products will, if followed, come at a major cost to the planet via huge swathes of habitat razed for farmland and millions of tons of extra planet-heating emissions.
A psychotherapist has explained Donald Trump’s recent controversial actions are driven by his need for stimulation, visibility and control of narrative rather than institutional restraint

A psychotherapist has exposed the grim motivation behind Donald Trump’s series of erratic actions throughout his presidency.
In recent weeks, he’s said Norway are responsible for him not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, overseen a major US military operation capturing Venezuela’s president, and unveiled proposals for a government-enforced ban preventing college football matches clashing with the annual Army-Navy fixture.
Democrats are launching a new effort to impeach Donald Trump as they claim the president is “mentally unwell.” Insisting the US president is “putting all of our lives at risk” Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, Representative for Arizona’s Third Congressional District, issued a scathing attack on X.
Congresswoman Ansari said: “The president of the United States is extremely mentally ill and it’s putting all of our lives at risk. The 25th Amendment exists for a reason—we need to invoke it immediately.” The tweet prompted thousands of comments, one X user said: “Him and the rest of his administration need to be impeached and removed.”
“I have a responsibility, not only as a journalist but as an American, to tell the truth, and to abide by the promises of the Constitution,” said then-CNN prime-time anchor Don Lemon on his responsibilities as a journalist.
“If you’re going to be in the business of news and telling people the truth, you’ve got to be honest. You’ve got to have the same rules for yourself as you do for everyone else,” Lemon also once said.
“I don’t consider myself a celebrity. I’m just a journalist,” is another great Lemon line.
The Department of Justice, through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has served grand jury subpoenas on six Minnesota government offices—including those of Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey—as part of a federal investigation into an alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement during DHS’s Operation Metro Surge. According to Fox News and the Associated Press, the subpoenas seek records and communications tied to state and local officials’ efforts to undermine or interfere with federal immigration enforcement, including public calls for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave Minnesota following a January 7 fatal shooting.
Schweizer said, “They have effectively bought off large portions of America’s elites … the problem is that these elites are either overlooking or ignoring the central fact of the U.S.-China relationship which is, China’s goal … is not about getting a better deal or maybe capturing a larger share of the market. Sure they want that, and they want the political leverage over the United States. What they really are engaging in is civilizational warfare.”
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” former White House special counsel Ty Cobb claimed President Donald Trump had “dementia.”
Cobb said, “I suspect one of the key guardrails this week, where I hope there is vigorous debate is with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the military over what Trump intends to do in Greenland. You know, today, he said he wouldn’t take, force off the table. They asked him how far he was prepared to go. He said, you’ll find out. You know, those are not the comments of a rational human being and certainly not presidential at all. Likewise yesterday you had the clearly deranged, demented and insane note that he sent to the to the leaders of Norway saying that because Norway, which has no control over the Nobel Peace Prize, hadn’t given it to him that he was free to disregard peace and very interested in Greenland. You know, I don’t think there’s anybody outside of the United States who believes that Trump is sane.”
Trump’s Greenland obsession didn’t emerge from nowhere. Behind the rhetoric sits a constellation of tech billionaires eyeing the island’s mineral wealth and regulatory vacuum, ZNetwork reports.

The Democrat who said he loved going to China so much that he exaggerated how often he went there was asked about being an agent of that country, according to sources from the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign.
The story is coming out amid reverberations over the Harris campaign’s question to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro about whether he was an agent of Israel, as noted by CNN.
“I told her how offensive the question was,” Shapiro wrote in his memoirs.
The fact that Harris supporters are using this experience as a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT which Shapiro inaccurately described as a 20 YEAR OLD and has since clarified as justification that it’s okay to ask him if he has ever been an Israeli agent is absolutely disgusting to me. 1/ pic.twitter.com/UG3N3gPoWW
The White House notified reporters that Donald Trump would be speaking at the press briefing to discuss his accomplishments during the first year of his second administration.
Any other president might have issued a statement or gathered reporters for a press conference. Trump spent nearly two hours torturing the world with his broken and depleted mind.
This is a sample of what Trump showed the world as he read from a book to reporters and held up made up wanted posters of immigrants:
These are rough characters. These are all criminal, illegal aliens. Set. In many cases, they’re murderers, they’re drug lords, drug dealers. They’re the mentally insane. There’s some of them who are brutal killers. They’re mentally insane. They’re killers, but they’re insane. These are just in Minnesota and California.
It’s worse. In other states it’s worse. No, Minnesota, the crime is incredible. The financial crimes are incredible. And the problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionists, whatever you want, troublemakers, but they’re paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians.
Americans looking for a glimpse of what a Democratic victory in this year’s midterm elections might mean got a sneak peek on Monday — and it isn’t pretty.
The country’s newest Democratic House member — Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona — made an appearance Monday on CNN’s “The Source” to opine on Sunday’s church invasion in St. Paul, Minnesota.
And with a revolting combination of ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy, she made it clear that for the contemporary Democrat, nothing is sacred.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at the National Action Network event for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday and said that there is a concerted effort to re-segregate America.
In the clip, which you can watch below, Holder invokes every anti-Trump and anti-ICE talking point you can imagine in under three minutes, but it is his remarks on re-segregation that truly boggle the mind.
The videos coming out of Minneapolis, of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers apprehending illegal immigrants in the streets while having to fight off aggressive and sometimes violent anti-ICE activists, are the predictable result of a Democrat strategy that amounts to nullification.
I mean nullification in the historical sense, like the Nullification Crisis of 1832 when South Carolina declared federal tariffs to be null and void within the boundaries of the state, and President Andrew Jackson threatened to send in the U.S. Army to enforce federal law.
Good news, everybody! We’re well on our way to making “The Purge” a year-long reality.
You know “The Purge” — the movie franchise in which, for one night a year, all lawlessness is tolerated so that humanity can get it out of their system. It’ll take a while to get there, sure. But for the second time in five years, leftists in general and Minneapolis leftists in particular want to give the theory that undergirds it a trial run by deciding which laws we can choose to obey.
Leaders of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, are actively evaluating legal action following a disruptive protest that interrupted their Sunday worship service on Sunday. The disruption occurred after anti-ICE activists, accompanied by former CNN anchor Don Lemon, targeted the church due to a member’s affiliation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
In an official statement released by the church elders, they described the incident as “shameful, unlawful, and [that] will not be tolerated,” confirming they are “evaluating next steps with our legal counsel.”
After ICE Agent Jon Ross was injured when a leftist insurrectionist hit him with her car, death threats came in from the insurrectionist’s fellow insurrectionists, along with condemnation by DNC party leaders, including the Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, and the Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey.
To help the agent recover from his injuries, as well as deal with the security his family now needs due to DNC activists threatening to murder them, Americans started online campaigns to fund them. So far, the two major funds, GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, have exceeded $1 million in donations, a figure that continues to climb.
Online fundraisers for ICE agent Jon Ross have surpassed $1 million in total funds.
Online fundraisers for Jon Ross have surpassed $1 million in total funds going to the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis after the left-wing activist rammed him with her car on the street. It is rumored that Ross, as well as his family, have gone into hiding since the incident and federal agents were recently seen taking items out of his home.
Two main online fundraising campaigns for Ross have crossed the $1 million mark combined. One GoFundMe campaign organized by Clyde Emmons, which stated, “After seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist getting go fund me. I feel that the officer that was 1000 percent justified in the shooting deserves to have a go fund me.” That has raised $762,767.

Over the past couple of weeks oil—specifically, Venezuelan oil—has been all over the headlines.
It started late on January 2, when President Donald Trump ordered U.S. military forces to enter Venezuela and capture the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, which they did early the next morning. Last week the country’s interior minister said the action killed 100 people.
NUUK, Greenland — U.S. President Donald Trump has turned the Arctic island of Greenland into a geopolitical hotspot with his demands to own it and suggestions that the U.S. could take it by force.
The island is a semiautonomous region of Denmark, and Denmark’s foreign minister said Wednesday after a meeting at the White House that a “fundamental disagreement” remains with Trump over the island.
The crisis is dominating the lives of Greenlanders and “people are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days. And we can’t really understand it,” Naaja Nathanielsen, a Greenlandic minister said at a meeting with lawmakers in Britain’s Parliament this week.
BEIJING — Faced with new global challenges, the leaders of China and Canada pledged Friday to improve relations between their two nations after years of acrimony.
Xi Jinping told visiting Prime Minister Mark Carney that he is willing to continue working to improve ties, noting that talks have been underway on restoring and restarting cooperation since the two held an initial meeting in October on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in South Korea.
“It can be said that our meeting last year opened a new chapter in turning China–Canada relations toward improvement,” China’s top leader said.
Carney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China in eight years, said better relations would help improve a global governance system that he described as “under great strain.”
He called for a new relationship “adapted to new global realities” and cooperation in agriculture, energy and finance.
One Maryland lawmaker has a great idea: Ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents hired to enforce President Donald Trump’s deportations from ever getting jobs in state law enforcement.
“It says something about the morals of the person—the character of the person—if they see what’s happening on TV, they see what happening in the streets and say, ‘You know what? I want to join that,’” Democratic Del. Adrian Boafo, the bill’s sponsor, told The Washington Post
Minnesota State Sen. Omar Fateh (D-MN) is calling on Democrat Gov. Tim Walz to impose a statewide eviction moratorium, arguing that residents are too “terrified” to go to work due to heightened immigration enforcement.
Fateh claims Minnesota residents are struggling to make ends meet because of the increased presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state.
However, ICE operations only target illegal aliens, most of whom are criminals, and not law-abiding American citizens.
Fresh off of the church invasion, Don Lemon is here to explain what Christianity is and how, if you don’t agree with him, you are not, in fact, a Christian. That’s not so much Christianity as Lemonism. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon assured members of the media that charges are coming for the group of anti-ICE protesters who barged into a church over the weekend. We’ll see what shakes out. Ben Shapiro appeared on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast and said some stuff about the housing market. Here’s what he missed. Europeans are really mad at the United States about Greenland. Let’s talk a look at why Greenland is where it is.
