Judgefare

Blurb:

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.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez pressed attorneys for Minnesota and the Justice Department on Monday about the state’s claims that federal government violated the Tenth Amendment by surging Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to Minneapolis.

Lindsey Middlecamp, a special counsel at the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, reportedly described ICE’s deployment as an “unlawful occupation” at the outset of the hearing.

She argued that the the administration of President Donald Trump is using the ICE deployment to pressure the state on policy.

“They are not letting the courts work this stuff out,” Middlecamp said, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney. “What they’re trying to get in court … they’re trying to get that same thing by putting 3,000 heavily armed agents on the streets of Minnesota.”

As evidence of alleged coercion, the state’s attorneys presented a Jan. 24 letter from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, to consider three major policy changes.

Bondi urged him to share Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs with the federal government; to repeal “sanctuary” policies restricting state and local law enforcement from assisting federal officers; and to allow the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to access voter rolls to confirm Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal laws.

Noncitizens demonstrating against the United States and Israel at U.S. campuses scored a legal victory over the Trump administration last week, as a Massachusetts federal judge halted the deportation of international students and faculty.

The case of American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, naming Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the lead plaintiff, concerns a State Department policy that allowed for the deportation of international students and academic faculty involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations that often involved anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment.

In a Democrat thugocracy, you can arrest a President or a 70 year old grandmother silently praying outside an abortion clinic, but attacking a church? All good.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the DOJ a stay of a lower court’s order that restricted agents in Minnesota, finding the limits were too broad and vague.

Judge Raymond Gruender partially dissented.

The stay will remain in effect until the Eighth Circuit fully reviews the case and issues its final decision. I don’t know when that will happen, but I read that the court expedited the case.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has confirmed that he would support articles of impeachment against Democrat-aligned activist federal judges who have repeatedly overstepped their constitutional authority to undermine President Donald Trump.

Johnson signaled that the House may move forward with the effort after months of growing frustration with what conservatives describe as judicial activism.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson was asked about Senate Republicans urging the House to pursue impeachment proceedings against specific judges.

Former special counsel Jack Smith couldn’t answer how much in tax dollars went to confidential sources in his nearly two-year investigation of President Donald Trump.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pushed Smith on the topic during the committee hearing on Thursday. Jordan noted that at least $20,000 went to a single source to review video and photos of the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, as part of Smith’s investigation into the incident.

Smith answered that he couldn’t remember if there were more such expenses.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is not having a good day today. He’s testifying before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss his investigations of President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, and to say it’s not going well for him is an understatement. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has already systematically dismantled Smith’s credibility by focusing on one of the January 6th Committee’s most explosive and dubious claims.

An appeals court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision in Minnesota that placed severe restrictions on federal immigration agents when it comes to handling violent and disruptive agitators.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued an administrative stay, pausing a lower court’s preliminary injunction that had limited the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against protesters and “observers.”

Wednesday’s decision comes amid Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in early December 2025, which has deployed over 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 10,000 individuals, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.

Former special counsel Jack Smith testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, January 22.

Smith was appointed by former Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and the January 6 Capitol riot.

In October 2025 it was revealed Smith had tracked phone records of Republican members of Congress in his “Arctic Frost” investigation.

Nick Shirley — the 23-year-old investigative journalist who exposed day-care fraud in Minnesota with a video that has now surpassed 140 million views — is back with part two.

“It’s a whole other aspect to the fraud scheme,” says BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler, who invited Shirley to “The Liz Wheeler Show” to share his latest discoveries.

In the first video, Shirley exposed numerous Somali-run day-care centers in Minnesota as fraudulent operations. Despite receiving millions (or even billions overall) in taxpayer-funded government subsidies through programs like CCAP and Medicaid, these centers provided no actual child-care services. Footage captures Shirley visiting multiple empty facilities with locked doors, blacked-out windows, no visible children, and sketchy “staff members.”

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is set to testify publicly before the House Judiciary Committee this Thursday. The former special counsel’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee follows the closed-door interview Smith sat for last month as part of Chair Jim Jordan’s investigation into the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department. A transcript of that deposition exposed several disturbing details concerning the targeting of Donald Trump, but also revealed how much remains hidden from the public.

While it is unlikely the House Judiciary Committee’s January 22, 2026 hearing will fully — or even mostly — address the totality of the weaponization of the justice department, or Smith’s complicity in that abuse of power, posing the following questions will provide a start.

Excellent! Now deport. Mahmoud Khalil is a thug.

Federal agents probing a Somali immigrant cash-courier operation that funneled massive sums through Minneapolis have uncovered a new stop along the route: Columbus, Ohio.

Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers have tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash packed into outbound luggage at passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023.

Officials said the cash was carried by U.S. citizens of Somali origin flying out of Columbus en route to Minneapolis or Atlanta. The couriers declared the money as required on federal forms.

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley blew up the internet the day after Christmas with a video that pulled the curtain back on massive Somali childcare fraud in Minnesota. In a single day, Shirley laid out evidence of an estimated $110 million in fraud, a bombshell that rocked the state and torpedoed Tim Walz’s political future, resulting in thousands of federal agents being sent into Minnesota, and HHS freezing more than $185 million in childcare payments.

Hey, you know those Somali immigrants who just stole a few billion dollars from taxpayers up in Minnesota? They’re not going anywhere.

Well, OK, maybe prison — but likely for sentences that make slaps on the wrist look painful by comparison. And then they’ll be back in the Minneapolis area, likely with the same contacts in the grift community that they had before and with the same rights as any other convict.

Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn and other Republicans want to change that.

The growing Somali Fraud scandal has already triggered Tim Kain, the Progmerican governor of Minnesota to declare he is not running for re-election and appears to be threatening Minnesota’s Islamist anti-Americanist Progmerican representative Ilhan Omar. Nick Sherley, an independent reporter, broke the story of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of U.S. tax dollars being stolen through fake dare centers run by Somalis.

Now Ilhan Omar’s recent effort to earmark $1 million for an ISIS-linked Somali ‘Non-Profit’ has triggered a call to investigate the organization and Omar’s connections to it. Trump has responded by suspending Somali immigration and revoking the legal status of thousands of Somali “asylum seekers.” More action is being taken to strip new Somali naturalized citizens involved in the fraud, which includes Ilhan Omar.

Republican Sens. Joni Ernst and Mike Lee are asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to probe a Minnesota-based non-profit that “exhibits a troubling pattern of red flags around its legitimacy” and is run by a Somali man whose brother was arrested for allegedly trying to join ISIS.

Ernst and Lee are asking Bondi to “initiate suspension proceedings to protect ongoing federal interests pending full investigation” and to refer “relevant matters to other DOJ components for further inquiry” in relation to Generation Hope MN, a tax-exempt organization founded in 2019 that is focused on addiction recovery and substance abuse disorder, according to a copy of the letter obtained exclusively by The Federalist.

Somali-born Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith tried to earmark $1 million in congressionally appropriated Department of Justice funding to Generation Hope MN. The funding was exposed by Ernst and Lee, and removed by the House.

46 RINO Progmericans within the GOP betrayed Americanist standards once again by helping the party of sedition, the party of Progmerica, the DNC-CCP, protect two of its most egregiously insurrectionist judges from having their office defunded.

Americanist Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) pushed forth the amendment as part of the appropriations package. The two judges targeted were James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman. Boasberg enabled Operation Arctic Frost and Boardman gave a would-be SCOTUS Judge assassin a lenient sentence. Both judges have consistently ruled outside the bounds of common-sense Americanist interpretations of the constitution, siding with leftist standards over American law.

Forty-six House Republicans joined their Democrat colleagues on Wednesday in defeating a bill amendment that would have stripped funding from two activist judges and the D.C. federal courts.

Proposed by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, as an amendment to an appropriations package considered by the House for the 2026 fiscal year, the measure sought to cut the budgets of the D.C. District Court and Court of Appeals by 20 percent. Roy cited the D.C. courts’ overreaching activism in stifling President Trump’s policy agenda as the reason for the amendment during a floor speech ahead of the vote.

“One of the issues that we’ve been addressing is the extent to which the president, who was elected to fulfill a mandate, has been carrying out policies that he believes fulfills the mandate the American people gave [him and] that … my colleagues on this side of the aisle believe should be fulfilled,” Roy said. “And yet, there have been judges who have been putting their personal preferences and their activist tendencies in front of the will of the people and in front of the policies that the president is putting forward in such a way that raises questions about whether they’re carrying out their jobs responsibly and in accordance with normal judicial ethics and procedures.”

President Donald Trump’s administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalia, ordering thousands of Somali migrants to leave the United States by March 17, including hundreds currently living in Minnesota.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the designation no longer meets the statutory requirements under federal law.

Noem emphasized that TPS was never intended to be permanent.

“Temporary means temporary,” Noem told Fox News.

The State Department is freezing all immigration from Somalia after an internal investigation found that the “vast majority of Somali migrants take welfare once present in the United States,” the Daily Caller has learned exclusively.

The freeze is expected to remain in place while the State Department reassesses immigration processing procedures. The effort is meant to “prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would become a public charge on the American people,” the State Department shared with the Caller.

The State Department will freeze immigration from approximately 75 countries, including Somalia, on Jan. 21.

Iman Osman, a native of Somalia and recent addition to the Lewiston City Council, has resigned from his position representing Ward 5 just days after being sworn into office. The resignation comes in the wake of a felony indictment related to firearm theft and an ongoing investigation into his residency status within the district.

Osman, who also leads the Lewiston Auburn Youth Network, a nonprofit organization, submitted his resignation less than 72 hours after taking office on January 5.

The career prosecutor overseeing the sprawling federal investigation into social program fraud in Minnesota resigned abruptly this week.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson was one of at least six senior lawyers to leave the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota on Tuesday, according to the New York Times and other outlets.

Thompson was the top lieutenant of Daniel N. Rosen, an appointee of President Donald Trump. He served as the acting U.S. Attorney for Minnesota last year before Rosen’s confirmation.
