Anti-deportation rioters were seen on video vandalizing and stealing equipment from federal vehicles in Minneapolis, Minnesota’s streets Wednesday night, according to multiple reports.

Protesters mobilized against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attacked parked gray vans, which were reportedly law enforcement vehicles, and graffitied “Fuck ICE” on one of them, video footage from Human Events shows. Another video posted by journalist Nick Sortor showed rioters breaking into what appeared to be a weapons locker in a van.

In case you needed one for the level of proof, which you didn’t, here is reason 10 million as to why the left is the party of intolerance.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday on whether or not states should have the right to ban males from female sports. This should not be controversial. In fact, it should not even be an issue to begin with. But you see, the left doesn’t live by this little thing called “truth.” This is why they go to great lengths to force everyone to affirm their ideology, despite it not being rooted in reality.

When you are dealing with intolerable people, safety becomes jeopardized. So, while Riley Gaines was advocating in favor of girls’ sports across the nation, she had no choice but to wrap her three-month-old baby in a bulletproof blanket. She did this because the left is not the side of compassion, as they are anything but.

“You have a three-month-old baby that you have to wrap in a bulletproof blanket because of the threats that were present there.”

“They’re giving the middle finger to my little baby girl again, who you have to wrap in like a little bulletproof vest.”

Wisconsin activist Judge Hannah Dugan has finally stepped down, bowing to intense pressure from Republican lawmakers ready to impeach her over a felony conviction tied to obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

Dugan resigned on Saturday after being convicted on December 19, 2025, for aiding an illegal alien in evading federal officers, a move that sparked a GOP push for her removal.

For hardworking taxpayers in Wisconsin, this scandal is a direct hit to public trust and a financial burden as legal proceedings and potential impeachment processes rack up costs to the state.

It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

“Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

The Kristi Noem Impeachment Show is earning less than rave reviews from some Democrats.

“There’s a frustration with all these impeachments. Now, Noem is just soup du jour. So … yes, there is a general frustration with us,” a Democratic legislator whose name was not used told Axios.

“It’s all performative bulls–t,” the Democrat said. “And I think at some point people want to focus on affordability and not performative bulls–t.”

“My thought on this is that I’m absolutely not doing this. It’s stupid,” another Democrat said.

Former CNN host Jim Acosta furiously cursed over “CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil” stating “We love America” as one of its “five simple principles” during a Thursday episode of “I’ve Had It.”

“[W]e make no apologies for saying so,” the show’s X account posted on Jan. 2. Acosta suggested on the podcast that the statement should go without saying and used variations of the F-word five times in under one minute.

The left will blame the ICE agent for the shooting even though, once again, the agent legitimately felt in fear for his life.

Instead of summarizing the incident, here are the facts from DHS:

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.

In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

As Minneapolis police failed to respond to violent unrest Wednesday night, rioters smashed into ICE vehicles, ripped out weapons lockers, and — according to video posted online — made off with a rifle and ammunition before fleeing the scene. The video shows the tattooed face of a man making off with what appears to be a rifle case removed from the vehicle.

Rioters took to the streets with impunity Wednesday night after the second officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis in the past week. A federal law enforcement officer was forced to shoot an illegal alien from Venezuela after he allegedly violently assaulted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer attempting to make an arrest. ICE officials say the officer was attacked by three people armed with a snow shovel and broom handle and fired “a defensive shot to defend his life,” Breitbart’s Paul Bois reported.

Idiocy. That word best characterizes the national conversation regarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led crackdown on illegal immigrants. Democratic politicians and activist protesters are undermining the rule of law and the safety of federal law enforcement. But ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents and officers could also improve their interactions with the public.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is in a very special category: black, Muslim, and a refugee from Somalia.

It’s a triple-banger, like Karine Jean-Pierre, always touted as black, lesbian, and Haitian. Never question their prominence on the merits. It’s a born-on-third-base situation in national politics and media.

So, when Omar submits herself to television interviews from liberal networks, she knows she can say inflammatory things and not be seriously challenged.

Another violent attack on federal agents pushes the Insurrection Act from threat to necessity.

President Trump: If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ICE, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state.

Fox News host Griff Jenkins told Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey point-blank on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are in his city to detain illegal immigrant criminals.

Frey called on ICE to “get the f*** out” of Minneapolis in the aftermath of Renee Good’s death, who was shot by an ICE agent after she appeared to accelerate her car toward the officer during an enforcement operation.

Jenkins and Frey sparred on “Fox & Friends” while the host noted that ICE operations have ramped up across the U.S. to arrest illegal immigrants who crossed the border during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

This story starts with the report of a Department of Homeland Security employee who believes himself/herself to be a heroic “whistleblower” who leaked — doxxed — the identities, addresses, and other personal information from government personnel files of thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officials to a pro-open borders website. Leftwing anti-Trump media outlet The Daily Beast was given the earliest word of the planned leak from the so-called Ice List. The six-month-old website, run by a Netherlands-based third party, however, told the Beast that right before the story on government documents outing the agents was set to run, the website was stopped in its tracks by a sustained Russian-based DDOS attack.

The “love is love” crowd is turning increasingly hateful — and violent.

On Wednesday, an Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent was ambushed in Minneapolis by two suspects while the officer was trying to apprehend a violent illegal immigrant, the Department of Homeland Security said.

In a statement posted on X, DHS said that at about 6:50 p.m. Minneapolis time federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop of “an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022” when the subject fled in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car.

The White House hilariously trolled disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after he delivered a botched TV address urging Minnesotans to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are merely doing their jobs.

In the farcically glitchy, live broadcast Wednesday, Walz’s jumbled audio spoke over itself, making his statements sound more incoherent than usual.

The White House reacted by lampooning Walz and calling him a “loser” and a “buffoon.”

Federal agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deployed less-than-lethal crowd control measures after an ICE agent was forced to open fire in self-defense.

The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday, when ICE agents made contact with a Venezuelan illegal alien who was released into the country under the Biden Administration in 2022. The subject attempted to flee in a vehicle, but soon crashed into a parked car before continuing to flee on foot.

An agent soon caught up with the subject and became locked in a “violent” struggle, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — which oversees ICE and CBP — announced in a statement. Two additional individuals then came out of a nearby apartment building and proceeded to attack the agent with a shovel and a broom handle, DHS said.

A new video posted Wednesday by Minnesota’s scandal-ridden Democrat governor, Tim Walz, is blowing up on social media. In it, Walz is equal parts smug, condescending, and deceitful as he makes the absurd, repulsive claim that federal immigration officials are targeting “people of color” and “dragging pregnant women down the street.”

Offering no proof at all, Walz goes on to claim that Minnesotans have been marked for retribution for peacefully protesting against ICE agents as they carry out their duties. And he has a message for President Donald Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem: “End this occupation. You’ve done enough.”

Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin.

The family of Renee Good has hired a civil rights attorney who previously represented the family of George Floyd as they prepare to file claims against federal officials over her death.

Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin. Romanucci was among the attorneys who represented the Floyd family following George Floyd’s death in 2020, a case against the City of Minneapolis and four police officers that resulted in $27 million, a record settlement for a case involving claims of police misconduct.

“What happened to Renée is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America,” the law firm said in a statement to The Washington Post. The firm added that Good’s family wants “to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all.”

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who was rammed by a vehicle driven by anti-ICE activist Renee Good during a January 7 enforcement operation in Minneapolis is now reportedly suffering from internal bleeding, according to federal officials.

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent involved in the incident, was initially transported to the hospital and released the same day.

However, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told CBS News that Ross is now being treated for internal bleeding in his torso.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed the injury, though officials have not disclosed how severe the bleeding is.

More than five dozen House Democrats have now signed on to articles of impeachment targeting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, escalating a partisan push against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) confirmed Wednesday that 67 Democrats are co-sponsoring the impeachment resolution, according to her office.

Axios first reported the growing co-sponsor count earlier this week.

Kelly announced her intent to impeach Noem last week following a fatal encounter in Minneapolis in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good, 37.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison spoke Wednesday at a student walkout and rally at the Minnesota State Capitol, where he condemned the “surge” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in the state.

Students in St. Paul held a walk-out and gathered at the Capitol to protest expanded ICE operations in Minnesota this week. Ellison addressed the crowd, telling students that as attorney general, he serves as their “lawyer.”

Border Czar Tom Homan has revealed the family of the ICE agent that shot a leftist insurrectionist has gone into hiding because of efforts by far-left activists to locate them and kill them. Homan revealed this claim in an interview with FOX News’ Will Cain. Media and DNC leadership rhetoric was rightly blamed as the major driver of the violence against ICE agents, including this agent’s family.

Homam told Cain, “And for this agent who was a part of this shooting, I think he’s going to wait for this investigation to paint itself out and wait for them to come out with actual facts of what happened that I think you may see him take action. Because I know for a fact that now he has to be in hiding. I seen a post this morning on my way to the studio here, with his picture, ‘Wanted for murder.’ It’s beyond the pale. So I think you’re going to see more of that happening now, because they’re way over the line.”

Blurb:

… The conversation with Homan began by discussing agents filing defamation suits against politicians and celebrities who have lied about their actions.

“When do I start seeing ICE agents, Border Patrol agents, sue for defamation? Mostly, I have been curious about and, really, honestly, in some ways, imploring the Border Patrol agents who were accused of whipping Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden and former President Kamala Harris…to sue them for defamation, it fits the classical, legal definition of defamation,” Cain said.

“And now to your point, you have all of these…celebrities and sports figures, like head coaches in the NBA, Doc Rivers and Steve Kerr, calling this agent in Minnesota a murderer. And I do wonder what’s holding back these agents for demanding accountability in the form of a lawsuit for defamation,” Cain added.

“I think things are so bad now, Will, you’re going to see that start happening,” Homan replied. “I’ve talked with two people, and I think you’re going to see it happening. And for this agent who was a part of this shooting, I think he’s going to wait for this investigation to paint itself out and wait for them to come out with actual facts of what happened that I think you may see him take action.”

“Because I know for a fact that now he has to be in hiding. I seen a post this morning on my way to the studio here, with his picture, ‘Wanted for murder.’ It’s beyond the pale,” Homan added. “So I think you’re going to see more of that happening now, because they’re way over the line.”

“Immigration enforcement’s always been controversial,” Homan continued, “it’s always been, you know, tugging at the heartstrings. I get it. But, you know what? They’re way over the line now, so I think you’re going to see a lot more lawsuits coming here in the near future.”

“So this agent right now, Tom, is in hiding?” Cain asked.

“Yes, for the safety of him and his family,” Homan replied. “I mean, there are wanted posters with his picture, his license plate number, you know. And death threats against him and his family.”

An undercover video from an ACTUAL muckraker (and we mean that in the best sense), James O’Keefe, is exposing a secret service agent who is more than willing to put Vice President JD Vance’s life at risk. The agent shared the Vice President’s future traveling and event plans in an undercover video by The O’Keefe Media Group. The agent is Tomas Escotto, a five-year veteran of the force who came in under the President Joe Biden Committee.

Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn responded to the video by stating, “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,”

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released a bombshell report detailing how a member of Vice President JD Vance’s protection detail shared sensitive information on Vance’s security with an undercover reporter.

The agent in question is Tomas Escotto, a five-year Secret Service veteran assigned to Vice President Vance’s protective detail. Escotto is described as a holdover from the Biden administration who had voted for the former president in the past.

His role involved direct responsibilities in Vance’s security, including participation in shift rotations, advance planning for movements, and on-site protection during travel. As part of Vance’s detail, Escotto had access to operational details critical to ensuring the safety of the Vice President and his family.

The Anti-ICE States of California, Washington, New York, and the far-left city-state Washington D.C. are seeing its tourist numbers drop precipitously as the violence they continue to foment and protect drives both domestic and international tourists away.

California Joins Washington, New York, Oregon, Washington DC and More US States Facing Deep Tourism Crisis Amid Political Tension in American Skies, New Update is Here  Travel And Tour World
from news.google.com

California, Washington, New York, Oregon, Washington D.C., and several other key US states are now facing an alarming tourism crisis, as political tensions continue to shake the very foundation of their once-thriving tourism industries. Political unrest, border issues, and immigration disputes have triggered a significant decline in tourist arrivals, affecting local economies across the nation. California, traditionally a major draw for international tourists, is seeing its visitor numbers plummet as political instability spreads like wildfire.

US States like Washington, New York, and Oregon are not far behind, with federal policies making their mark on the travel sector. Major tourist destinations in Washington D.C., including historical landmarks, are also suffering as visitors steer clear, unsure about the safety of traveling during these turbulent times. The ripple effect is undeniable, with businesses across tourism-dependent regions feeling the strain. Washington D.C., New York, and Oregon are all facing the same grim reality: a deep tourism crisis that shows no sign of improving.

After the hiring of Bari Weiss to remove the far-left propaganda from CBS News, doubt has remained as to just how hard Weiss would push and what she could accomplish. The jury is still out, but a recent interview by CBS News Anchor Tony Dokoupil of President Trump reveals a news standard that is aligned, once again, with Americanism.

Newsbusters’ assessment of the interview should please CBS News. They claimed, “The dust has settled on the second Trump interview of the Bari Weiss Era at CBS News. It is another positive step in the right direction, away from the usual talking point-laden gotchafests… Anchor Tony Dokoupil acquitted himself well, being firm but respectful. He brought questions, not talking points. He engaged, rather than scolded. This resulted in meaningful conversation, rather than performative confrontation.”

The dust has settled on the second Trump interview of the Bari Weiss Era at CBS News. It is another positive step in the right direction, away from the usual talking point-laden gotchafests. For the chattering classes, they will most certainly hate it and hysterically point to it as further proof of Trump’s supposed erosion of the hallowed norms of the journalistic profession.

In keeping with CBS practices, the totality of the interview was quickly made available. In this instance, by airing in its entirety on the CBS Evening News.

Sales of Bibles have jumped over the past year, according to The New York Times.

Bible sales in 2025 have surged about 12 percent over last year, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. The report comes after sales of Bibles in the U.S. were also up in 2024, rising 22 percent through the end of October that year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Meanwhile, total print sales hit around 707 million units during 2025 through mid-December, The New York Times reported, citing recent data from Circana BookScan. By comparison, that number is just three million less than the pandemic-era peak in 2021, and 57 million copies more than in 2019, per The New York Times.

“The [book] industry itself is in transformation, which is always very challenging,” Dominique Raccah, the publisher of Sourcebooks, told the outlet.

Moreover, sales of romance books have also continued to rise during 2025, according to The New York Times. Romance sales have increased about 5 percent this year, the outlet reported, citing data from BookScan.

The Department of Justice is looking into ties between Renee and Becca Good and far-left activist groups that have been courting mayhem in the state as both the fraud investigation and federal efforts to remove illegal immigrant criminals ramp up.

Six federal prosecutors resigned on Tuesday rather than conduct an investigation into Becca Good, the activist wife of Renee Good, who was killed while ramming her car into an ICE agent last week. Becca Good was outside the car at the time of the shooting filming the action between her wife and the officer while taunting law enforcement.

The New York Times reports that “the Justice Department launched an investigation to examine ties between Ms. Good and her wife, Becca, and several groups that have been monitoring and protesting the conduct of immigration agents in recent weeks.” These prosecutors were reluctant to look into Good, who said after the shooting that it was all her fault.

GENEVA: The United Nations demanded on Tuesday (Jan 13) a swift and independent investigation after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a protester in the US city of Minneapolis last week.

The UN rights office voiced deep concern at the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot dead in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the Midwestern city last Wednesday.

“Under international human rights law, the intentional use of lethal force is only permissible as a measure of last resort against an individual representing an imminent threat to life,” UN rights office spokesman Jeremy Laurence told reporters in Geneva.
