DNC Watch

Blurb:

Minnesota’s Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison is rejecting assertions that anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators who stormed a church in his state over the weekend may have violated federal civil rights laws.

Ellison defended the mod, despite the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirming it is reviewing the incident, which appeared to be provoked by former CNN anchor Don Lemon.

Top DOJ officials have said they are examining whether activists who disrupted Sunday services at Cities Church in St. Paul violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act, both of which carry potential criminal penalties.

Gunfire erupted in strife-torn Portland, Oregon, late Monday as police launched a manhunt for a suspect after two officers were wounded in a shooting.

The incident unfolded around 9:36 p.m., according to a city statement.

“Two @PortlandPolice officers were shot in NE Portland as leftist and Antifa rioters occupied the ICE facility in south Portland. The officers’ conditions are not confirmed,” journalist Andy Ngo posted on X.

Both officers were taken to a local hospital and were listed in stable condition, Det. Jon Richardson said, according to ABC News.

A little over a year ago, the Democratic Party decided that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the kind of person we needed to be one heartbeat or one maleficent act away from the Oval Office.

Today, he’s not even running for a third term as governor of Minnesota because his state is mired in a welfare fraud scandal of gargantuan proportions. Worse, when the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice showed up at his doorstep to do what he could not — enforce the law, particularly as it pertains to the immigrant communities where the massive fraud was centered — he threw numerous hissy fits of abundant verbosity about that fact. He egged on activists taking to the streets in those good ol’ Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests™.

An Episcopal Bishop in New Hampshire says we are entering a new martyr era, where Christians may be called upon to martyr themselves. No, not in the name of God. In the name of protecting criminals and sex offenders in this country illegally. Not even American-born criminals and sex offenders. Just the ones that ICE wants to deport.

Granted, I am the least religious person here at Louder with Crowder and the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. So if someone else can quote the scripture back to me that validates Episcopal Bishop Robert Hirschfeld preaching at a Renee Good vigil (obviously) that Christians best be prepared to die in the name of politics, I’d be curious about the passage

I have told the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire that we may be entering into that same witness. And I’ve asked them to get their affairs in order, to make sure they have their wills written, because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies, to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable.

The Sunday invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minneapolis, brings Christians in America to another inflection point: Will Christian leaders and pastors stand up for believers’ freedom to worship or cower in the face of the leftist pro-illegal immigration onslaught? Worse yet, will they join in it?

Prominent Christian leaders and pastors (legitimate and otherwise) have often advocated vigorously for immigrants, both legal and illegal. In some cases, leaders affirm a commitment to rule of law but place such a heavy emphasis on compassion and kindness that actual enforcement of the law seems impossible in their framework. More often than not, these leaders present illegal immigrants as law-abiding, religiously faithful victims. In other cases, leaders support the violation of immigration law or its nullification. At the same time, religious groups have incentivized and supported illegal immigration while shuttling millions to migrants and migrant services.

Blurb:

This past Sunday, Democrat protesters stormed a church service in St. Paul, terrorizing mothers and children, accusing its pastor of supporting for immigration authorities.

Democrats are now defending these rioters by invoking the First Amendment—free speech protections they suddenly claim to cherish.

These are the same Democrats who tried to impeach a president over election-related remarks, who seek to criminalize so-called “hate speech” and who aggressively prosecute freedom-loving Americans for opposing their ideology or speak candidly about Islamic terror.

When mobs attack churches, it’s “free speech.”

Don Lemon, alongside anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota, barged into a St. Paul church during services on Sunday. The group of far-left activists disrupted the prayer service, chanting “ICE out,” all while Lemon live streamed the intimidation of Christians in their own sanctuary.

It wasn’t a spontaneous operation, as Lemon explained during a livestream. According to Lemon, the agitators — reportedly led by Nekima Armstrong, Daunte Wright, and others — had planned what they called “Operation Pull-Up.” Before the church invasion, Lemon live streamed a monologue previewing what was to come: These activists “surprise people, catch them off-guard, and hold them to account. And so that’s what we’re doing here, and then we’re — after that, after we do this operation, you’ll see it live. And these operations are surprise operations, again I can’t tell you where they’re going.”

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin wants to see the entire county’s prosecutorial team dismissed and the case moved to another location due to alleged bias.

The defense team for Tyler Robinson argues prosecutors must be dismissed because a daughter of one of the state’s attorneys was at the September 10, 2025 event at Utah Valley State University.

“Defense attorneys argue that personal connection creates a risk the prosecution could be influenced by emotion rather than impartial judgment,” KUTV reported on Jan. 13.

MS NOW White House correspondent Jake Traylor joined Tuesday’s Ana Cabrera Reports for a textbook example of how aspiring reporters should not do their job. Within the span of only one minute, Traylor would display an obvious hypocrisy on the usefulness of anecdotal stories and fail to fact-check President Trump on Sunday’s St. Paul church storming, because it was Traylor who needed to be fact-checked.

Traylor was on to discuss Trump’s reaction and state of mind when it comes to all that is going on in Minnesota when he declared, “We’re continuing to get different, you know, citizens sending in different images and videos of ICE agents acting in ways that appear to be unlawful, or at least quite confusing. And so for the president, in a lot of ways, it continues video after video to be difficult things to defend.”

Alluding to a recent Trump Truth Social post, Traylor continued, “We do know, though, that the president himself is watching a lot of this take place. Early this morning, the president posted about a recent protest that took place in Minneapolis at a church saying that the protesters, the president, alleged they were paid agitators, which is, of course, as you know, a baseless claim. But he said that they should be not just put in jail. But he said some of them should be kicked out of this country in entirety.”

Blurb:

This is precisely the chaos the Democrats want—a nation pushed toward internal conflict, civil war. Those maniacs would relish nothing more than declaring, ‘The orange man drove the country into civil war!’”

One could argue that reacting plays into their hands. But surrender is not an option. Refusing to defend our country and our way of life is not prudence; it is abdication. Forfeit is not a strategy—it is a fait accompli. And history shows that what is not defended is eventually lost.

The conditions that would merit such an action continue to exist. Indeed, the protestors have become increasingly violent.

“Only Good Agent Is A Dead One”: It’s Time for The Insurrection Act, Trump Prepares To Act

While President Trump overzealously obsesses about acquiring Greenland and other foreign policy ventures, AI, and swapping RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy with a RINO House member, a major American state is continuing its rapid descent into Third World despotism.

By now, most Americans have seen the viral incident of anti-ICE agitators — which included media hack Don Lemonstorming a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, over the weekend in apparent violation of federal law. While Lemon harassed the church’s pastor about why he wasn’t OK with demented leftists infringing upon his congregation’s worship service, the group’s other members screeched in the faces of attending families (including minors).

On Monday’s edition of The View, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, actress Pam Grier was teed up by co-host Sunny Hostin to recall the racism she experienced while growing up in Columbus, Ohio in the 1950s. According to her, her mom would often have to get her and her siblings to avert their eyes lest they see a body hanging from a tree. But according to the Ohio Lynching Victims Memorial, the last lynching was in 1911. Other details about the story were questionable as well.

Fresh from defending discrimination against white people earlier in the show, Hostin teed up Grier to share her experiences with racism, specifically during her time in Columbus, Ohio:

But let me ask you this: because you’ve been the first so many times, but you were the first black woman on the cover of Ms. magazine in 1975. You paved the way for black female representation in the stunt industry as well. But before breaking all of those barriers in Hollywood and other places, you faced a lot of racism growing up in Columbus, Ohio. How did that shape you?

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his civil war-like rhetoric against the Trump Administration by declaring the surge of federal immigration agents in the city as an “occupying force.”

“We are doing the work to keep people safe in our city, and specifically, it is our local police officers. It is the state of Minnesota and our governor. We are doing everything possible to keep the peace, notwithstanding this occupying force that has quite literally invaded our city,” Frey told CBS News’ Margaret Brennan on Sunday morning.

Blurb:

Who would want to risk his life for a cause if he is still going to be an indelible racist even after giving up his life for that cause?

It could be the premise of a Monty Python sketch or a Mel Brooks movie, but it’s a question every leftist insurrectionist in Minneapolis, etc. should ask themselves.

As others have noted, the left wanted Renee Good’s death to be the second coming of George Floyd. But there were problems. There was the footage of the incident, especially from the ICE agent’s bodycam, that clearly showed him being struck by Good’s 4,000-pound Honda. There was Elon Musk’s ownership of X, which allowed actual facts to stand against leftist lies like Good was just dropping off her kids at school. And there’s the problem that Good was white.

The video, which was originally posted to TikTok, shows the man opening the trunk of a white Chevy Suburban as a woman inspects its contents. Another woman noted that the man, who later in the video said that he worked for a media outlet, “has a lot of camera equipment” before accusing him of being an ICE agent.

Larry Krasner, the radical District Attorney of Philadelphia, threatened Wednesday to prosecute and jail any federal immigration officer accused of harming the city’s residents.

Krasner and a number of Democrat elected officials and community leaders gathered at Salt and Light Church in Philadelphia to discuss strategies to combat ICE activity in the city and in its court system.

Framing the issue as a battle of “good versus evil,” Krasner sent the following message to federal immigration enforcement: “We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I’m going to ask for it to be appropriately high.”

Philadelphia’s newly infamous Sheriff Rochelle Bilal echoed Krasner’s message, promising to bring “smoke” to ICE agents if they think they can come to Philadelphia and enforce immigration law without the Sanctuary City’s permission.

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, said Monday that “the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down” on the anti-ICE agitators—including former CNN host Don Lemon—who stormed a Minneapolis church and harassed Sunday worshippers.

The agitators, led by local Black Lives Matter activist Nekima Armstrong, entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, chanting long discredited BLM slogans like ‘hands up, don’t shoot’, and attempting to shame churchgoers over their pastor’s alleged position as the acting ICE field office director.

A member of the violent Latin Kings gang was arrested after allegedly stealing government property from an FBI vehicle vandalized during unrest in Minneapolis Wednesday night, federal authorities said.

Fox News confirmed that Raul Gutierrez, 33, was arrested Thursday in a joint operation involving the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The FBI said multiple government vehicles were vandalized and broken into Wednesday night in Minneapolis while agents were responding to a reported assault on a federal officer, adding that federal property was stolen from inside the vehicles.

Jake Lang, an anti-Islam activist, was attacked in Minneapolis and assaulted by left-wing agitators on Saturday. Lang, who was also pardoned from his criminal activities on January 6, was in Minnesota for his “March Against Fraud” event and was met with violent pushback.

Photos and videos showed blood on Lang after he was dragged from a ledge and then beaten by a mob of left-wing agitators in Minneapolis. Lang then attempted to get away from the scene in a red sedan. Video posted to X showed the left-wing protesters trying to attack him as he entered the car.

A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative, narrative about ICE’s enforcement of immigration law congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military-style raids in otherwise peaceful communities, and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence that accompanies their enforcement activities.

Obviously, that narrative has gone into overdrive since the unfortunate killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Facts don’t really matter here; anti-ICE hysterics are impervious to the fact that Good and her partner were specifically engaged in illegal activity. One can argue law enforcement should have behaved differently, but you cannot say Renee Good was an innocent bystander — she put herself in harm’s way. You can’t impede federal officers enforcing the law, let alone suddenly lurch toward them in a two-ton vehicle.

The anti-American terrorist Renee Good was killed when she attempted to murder an ICE officer attempting to arrest illegal aliens who also happened to be wanted for murder. What unfolded afterward you can read about in our Final Thought on pg. xx.

Good’s family has hired the George Floyd attorney to use lawfare to terrorize American officers and officials. The injured ICE agent is still recovering in the hospital, his family in hiding for fear of being murdered by DNC voters. The video now clearly shows the agent was struck by the vehicle, a fact the DNC media and its anti-American fanbase continue to deny.

Calling all rational Americans: Here are the thieves, child rapists, and murderers the left’s latest false martyr was fighting for.

Renee Good, the 37-year-old radical fatally shot last week by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent she appears to have struck with her SUV, was part of a leftist resistance movement that tried to stop ICE from arresting criminal illegal immigrants like Hernan Cortes-Balencia. The Mexican foreign national, who had a final order of removal dating back more than nine years, has been convicted of sexual assault against a child, sexual assault-carnal abuse and four DUI’s, according to DHS.

And then there’s Sriudorn Phaivan, a criminal illegal alien from Laos. Phaivan, outstayed his welcome by nearly eight years. He’s a felon with a long rap sheet, including strongarm sodomy of a boy, strongarm sodomy of a girl, another aggravated sex offense, nine counts of larceny, four counts of fraud, vehicle theft, and two counts of drug possession.

The assaults in Minneapolis against ICE agents by DNC-paid insurgents are only increasing and getting more deadly. Against that backdrop, DNC government leaders, from Tim Kain to Chuck Schumer, and DNC supporters, from celebrities to influencers, keep spreading lies intended to get ICE agents killed. So far, Pam Bondi has made zero arrests.

Now, the terrorists have seized FBI papers, destroyed vehicles, seized an ICE vehicle and took a rifle out of it, all while Minneapolis police, under the order of Progmerican Mayor Jacob Frey, stood down and allowed it to happen. President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to put down the Minnesota revolt, but some Americans are wondering why that isn’t being declared at the national level.

Blurb:

During riots in Minneapolis, protesters forced open a weapons locker in a federal vehicle, stealing a rifle and ammunition before fleeing in a black Ford Taurus with Minnesota license plate SMV 596. Video footage captured the thief’s face, including a man with facial tattoos, and the getaway vehicle details, which were forwarded to the FBI for identification. Some reports indicate additional theft of sensitive documents containing DHS agent information.

History is clear: these actions come before civil war.

The violent unrest surrounding ICE operations—particularly in Minneapolis—is not a spontaneous grassroots protest but a coordinated political campaign designed to delegitimize federal immigration enforcement and provoke confrontation. It contends that activists and sympathetic Democratic officials knowingly spread false claims that ICE lacks lawful authority, despite federal courts reaffirming ICE’s powers, thereby encouraging people to obstruct federal officers.

Top White House advisor Stephen Miller is claiming the work to identify, arrest, and prosecute the network of insurrectionists supporting the anti-ICE terror assaults is nearly complete, so Americans should expect results soon. Miller claimed they have begun the work already of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks…” Trump followed up soon after with a Truth Social post that declared, “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”

Miller also told ICE officers, “You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony, he stated. “You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

The Insurrection Act allows a president to send military troops onto U.S. soil to restore order during civil unrest.
