DHS Drops the Hammer: Mahmoud Khalil's Algerian Vacation Is About to Get Real

Last week, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals did what appellate courts occasionally remember to do: side with sanity and smack down a lower-court judge who thought he could play king of the immigration hill. The ruling was a clean win for the Trump administration in the long-running deportation saga of former Columbia University darling Mahmoud Khalil.

Khalil, the 30-year-old Syrian-born so-called Palestinian activist who's spent the better part of the last year lawyering his way out of consequences, got nabbed by ICE back in March. He cooled his heels in a Louisiana detention facility until June, when a New Jersey judge decided he was special and ordered him sprung. 

Turns out, that judge was swinging way above his pay grade. The appeals court politely informed him that no, he didn't have the authority to issue such a ruling. Shocking, I know, but judges have been misjudging their absolute power since there had been laws on the books.

Now comes the fun part. A top Department of Homeland Security official spilled the beans to NewsNation's Katie Pavlich: Khalil's about to get rearrested and shipped off to beautiful, sunny Algeria.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Syrian-born activist the Trump administration has sought to deport over pro-Palestinian demonstrations he helped organize in New York, will be retaken into custody and sent to the North African country of Algeria, a top official with the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.

Khalil and his attorneys have spent months playing constitutional whack-a-mole with the White House's efforts to remove the green card holder, who is of Palestinian heritage, insisting it would violate the Constitution. An appellate court decision last week, however, was widely seen as a victory for the Trump administration.

"It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now," said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs.

"It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country, act like it," McLaughlin said.

The Trump team has been saying since early last year that Khalil was providing support to Hamas and that he got creative with the truth on his residency paperwork. Khalil, never one to go quietly, has countersued the administration for $20 million, claiming false imprisonment and "malicious prosecution." Because nothing says "I'm being persecuted" like organizing campus chaos and then crying foul when the bill comes due.

Look, this isn't rocket science. You come here as a guest, whether on a visa or a green card, and decide the best use of your time is helping organize protests that cozy up to terrorist sympathizers and generally make life miserable for everyone else, don't be surprised when the door hits you in the butt on the way out. McLaughlin nailed it: act like a guest. Or don't. 

But Algeria is waiting, and it doesn't do campus tents and chants.

FBI serves subpoenas asking for records and communications, source says

The Department of Justice has dropped the subpoena hammer on some Minnesota Democrats who apparently thought obstructing ICE was just another day at the office. Grand jury subpoenas went out Tuesday to five state and local government outfits, including the Governor's Office, the Attorney General's office, and the Minneapolis Mayor's Office, in a federal probe into what sources describe as a possible conspiracy to mess with or straight-up obstruct federal immigration enforcement during ICE ops in the Land of 10,000 Lakes (and apparently endless sanctimony).

The FBI handled the deliveries, demanding records and communications. The DOJ, in classic fashion, had no comment, because hey, why spoil the surprise?

Late last week, Fox News got the scoop that federal prosecutors were eyeballing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly throwing sand in the gears of law enforcement. U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche didn't mince words when he chatted with Fox:

"When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he's encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime," Blanche said.

Walz, never one to let a federal investigation pass without a dramatic pivot, immediately cried foul on X, accusing the Trump administration of "weaponizing the justice system."

"Two days ago, it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly," Walz wrote in an X post. "Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Frey chimed in with his own brave stand on social media, vowing he "will not be intimidated.""This is an obvious attempt to intimidate me for standing up for Minneapolis, local law enforcement, and residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our city," Frey wrote on X. "I will not be intimidated. My focus remains where it’s always been: keeping our city safe."

Sure, Jake. Because nothing says "keeping our city safe" like turning a blind eye—or worse—to federal officers doing their jobs while your rhetoric gets people whipped into a froth.

The White House wasn't having any of the chaos theater. After a mob of anti-ICE agitators reportedly barged into the Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, right in the middle of services, no less, disrupting worship because they decided the pastor was secretly an ICE honcho, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson unloaded on Fox News Digital.

"There is no low these radical leftists won’t stoop to," Jackson said Monday morning. "Jacob Frey and Tim Walz have whipped these rioters into a frenzy and turned them loose to wreak havoc on Minneapolis."

"Frey and Walz should be ashamed for inciting such chaos, but the Trump Administration will continue enforcing the law," she added.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon announced Sunday that the DOJ was launching an investigation into the church disruption, zeroing in on potential federal civil rights violations for "these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshipers."George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on the legal side of things, breaking down the potential ramifications of the Justice Department’s look into the agitators who targeted that Minnesota church they thought housed an ICE official.

All in all, it's another chapter in the ongoing saga of blue-state officials discovering that federal law doesn't come with a "sanctuary" opt-out clause. The subpoenas are out, the whining is predictable, and the left is once again shocked—shocked!—that there might be consequences for treating immigration enforcement like an optional suggestion. Stay tuned; this one's got legs. Or at least grand jury intrigue.

Donald LeMon may be in deep poo over disrupting church services

The Justice Department under the new administration isn't messing around when it comes to defending houses of worship from disruption — and former CNN host Don Lemon has found himself squarely in the crosshairs.

A top DOJ official is signaling that federal charges could be coming for those who stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday, including Lemon for his embedded role with the anti-ICE protesters.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon laid it out plainly in an interview with podcaster Benny Johnson on Monday, warning of serious consequences and pointing to statutes that could bring lengthy prison time.

“I see various crimes that have occurred,” she told Johnson. “Exactly what they are I’m not going to flag, but the FACE Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked onto the FACE Act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences.”

Dhillon didn't hold back when turning to Lemon's involvement, dismissing any notion that "committing journalism" provides immunity.

“Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility, and then he began ‘committing journalism,’ as if that’s sort of a shield from being a part, an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy, it isn’t,” she said.

The potential charges could invoke the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act — which protects access to religious services just as it does abortion facilities — and the Ku Klux Klan Act (the Enforcement Act of 1871), which targets conspiracies to deprive people of their civil rights, including religious liberty. Violations can carry more than a decade behind bars and steep fines.

As Benny Johnson highlighted in his post:

BREAKING: DOJ Announces Intention to Charge Don Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act.The KKK Act makes it illegal to threaten, hurt, or intimidate people to prevent them from exercising their God-given rights.

HARMEET DHILLON: “The Klan Act is one of the most important federal… pic.twitter.com/GWnXAMtWc9— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 19, 2026

Dhillon noted that these same tools were once deployed against peaceful pro-life demonstrators outside clinics, a reminder that civil-rights enforcement cuts both ways, depending on who's in charge.

"The FACE Act is just the start," she continued. "Like I said, you have material support for disruptive activities, you have conspiracy to violate civil rights, you have potentially the use of other instrumentalities to commit crimes."

The incident stemmed from protesters targeting the Cities Church because one pastor reportedly works with a local ICE field office. Demonstrators entered the sanctuary, shouted at worshippers, and disrupted the service.

If you enjoy  Brain Flushings and would like to subscribe or Buy Me a Coffee, and check out the sponsors on this page, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work and my coffee drinking habit. No pressure and subscribing is free.

The DOJ, Dhillon said, is still putting its "ducks in a row," but the message is unmistakable. "Come next Sunday, nobody should think in the United States that they're going to be able to get away with this. Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long, long time," she added.

This is the Trump-era DOJ making clear: Houses of worship aren't protest zones, and claiming press credentials doesn't grant a free pass to join the fray. So sorry, Donny boy. Deal with it.

This story is still developing.

Trump says Ilhan Omar should be jailed or deported to "Make Somalia Great Again"

If you thought the Minnesota progressive squad couldn't get any more unhinged, Rep. Ilhan Omar just raised the bar to stratospheric levels.

During a Democratic field hearing in St. Paul on Friday, Omar didn’t mince words. She expressed outright horror at what she called the “U.S. god---- states.” Yes, you read that correctly. That’s the sitting congresswoman from Minnesota casually dropping an f-bomb on the entire country she was elected to serve.

Meanwhile, President Trump lit up Truth Social Sunday night with a flamethrower. "There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman' Ilhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!"

Boom. Mic drop.

For those keeping score at home, Omar was born in Somalia, came to the United States as a refugee, and became a naturalized citizen in 2000. She's been in Congress since early 2019. Trump clearly believes that résumé should come with a one-way ticket back to Mogadishu. The president wasn't done.

"ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country, and bring them back home, where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community? The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists. Is this really what Minnesota wants?"

And then, the cherry on top: "The crooked Governor and 'Congresswoman' Omar, who married her brother, don't mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State! Don't worry, we're on it!"

Trump is basically running the table here: fraud allegations, deportation threats, the infamous "married her brother" line (which Omar has repeatedly denied), and a not-so-subtle suggestion that the congresswoman belongs anywhere but the U.S. Capitol.

Over on the Republican side, Utah Sen. Mike Lee was equally livid after seeing Omar's "U.S. Goddamn States" remark. "No member of Congress should ever refer to our country as the ‘U.S. Goddamn States,'" Lee posted on X. "What should be the consequence of saying that?"

Elon Musk, never shy about weighing in, had the perfect one-liner reply. "Whatever the penalty is for treason."

So there you have it. In the span of a weekend, Ilhan Omar managed to call the United States a godforsaken dumpster fire, trigger a full Trump Truth Social barrage, and get the world’s richest man to casually drop the t-word.

Just another relaxing Sunday in American politics, 2026 edition.

DOJ Drops the Hammer on Minnesota Church-Storming Wackos After Anti-ICE Meltdown

Well, folks, the Trump administration isn't messing around when it comes to people who think interrupting a church service is the height of civil discourse.

A pack of anti-ICE screamers stormed the Cities Church in Minneapolis smack in the middle of Sunday worship, apparently convinced that one of the pastors moonlights as the head honcho of ICE's St. Paul office. Dozens of these geniuses burst in, turning a sanctuary into their personal protest stage. Churchgoers told Fox News Digital the mob even tailed them into the parking lot afterward, surrounding cars and playing human barricade.

President Trump's team didn't take long to respond with something stronger than a sternly worded tweet.

Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the situation. "I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law."

She then added, for those in the back: "If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt piled on via social media, after footage showed the crowd yelling through the service like it was open mic night at a bad comedy club. "President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship," she said.

The AG continued: "The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota."

And Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, chimed in with the kind of resolve we haven't heard from that office in years: "We will not rest until we are able to deliver justice."

Of course, while the feds are mobilizing to protect houses of worship from being turned into flash-mob venues, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is out there doing his best impression of a community organizer who never quite got over 2020.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Frey basically shrugged off the whole thing and defended the protesters as misunderstood patriots. He pushed back hard on any suggestion that local leaders might bear some responsibility for the chaos.

"This is not about safety. What this is about is coming into our city by the thousands and terrorizing people simply because they're Latino or Somali," Frey said. "People in Minneapolis are speaking up. They're speaking up peacefully. They're standing up for their neighbors. And this is not just about resisting Trump. This is about loving and caring for the people that call this city home. And it's been inspiring."

Sure, Jacob. Storming a church, chasing families to their cars, nothing says "inspiring" and "peaceful" like that.

The DOJ's civil rights investigation is officially underway, and it's nice to see federal law enforcement treating attacks on Christians and law enforcement personnel with the seriousness they deserve. In other words, the adults are back in the room, and the tantrum crowd is finally getting the timeout it so richly earned.

Ilhan Omar Drops an F-Bomb on America, Calls It the 'God***n United States' in Wild ICE Rant

If you're wondering just how far the anti-ICE hysteria on the left has gone, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) just took it to a whole new level. During a Democratic field hearing in St. Paul on Friday titled "Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump's Deadly Assault on Minnesota," Omar compared U.S. immigration enforcement to the authoritarian nightmares she fled in Somalia, and then she let slip that she never expected to see this kind of thing in the "goddamn" United States.

"I don't want to curse, but those of us who escaped places like that, the one place where we thought we would never experience this is the U.S. goddamn states," the woman who married her own brother said, clearly wanting to curse.

She didn't stop there, the witch doubled down, declaring that Americans should be ashamed. "And we should all be ashamed that it is the United States that is allowing for this to take place, and it is being… broadcast to the rest of the world, where people are calling and saying, 'Are you sure this is America?' I am ashamed, and we must do everything that we can to bring back the America we all escaped into."

This came amid escalating tensions in Minnesota, where thousands of federal agents have been deployed following a massive fraud scandal late last year. The flashpoint includes the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent, which critics have seized on to claim strong-arm tactics and intimidation. President Trump has even floated invoking the Insurrection Act to restore order, though he seemed to walk that back on Friday.

Omar didn't hold back on her GOP colleagues either, accusing Republicans of being fine with an "occupation that is terrorizing people in Minnesota that live in Minneapolis and St. Paul."

"When my constituents call for help, we don't ask them who they voted for, because that is what it means to be an elected U.S. representative," she said. "So it is appalling for our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to be OK for the president to carry out retribution here in Minnesota. "It is appalling for our Republican colleagues to be OK for there to be cell detentions in ICE for American citizens," she continued. "It is appalling for them to be OK for there to be checkpoints in American cities where people are asked for their papers. And it is appalling for Americans to have to carry their citizen papers only to be told they are not sure those papers are correct."

Needless to say, the comments lit up conservative corners of the internet. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) fired off on X: "No member of Congress should ever refer to our country as the ‘U.S. Goddamn States.' What should be the consequence of saying that?"

Elon Musk said in response: "Whatever the penalty is for treason," which can be as severe as execution. Trump administration's immigration crackdown. But dropping the "goddamn" bomb on the entire country? That's next-level garbage and it's not going over well with folks who think, that at the very least, members of Congress should show a shred of respect for the nation they swore an oath to serve.

Latest in Charlie Kirk Assassination Trial

The Utah judge overseeing the assassination case of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to rule on the defense's motion to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office from prosecuting the case over an alleged conflict of interest.

The defense team for the scumwafer, whose name will not be used here, has been charged with the murder of Kirk, the 31-year-old husband and father of two, on September 10 at Utah Valley University, says the office has a conflict of interest in the case due to a Utah County prosecutor's daughter being present at Utah Valley University when the assassination took place.

The prosecution says the family member saw nothing direct and a conflict of interest has not been established. They’ve also accused the defense of stall tactics.

Judge Tony Graf said on Friday that there's not sufficient evidence yet to warrant the expulsion of the office, but has allowed the defendant's team to begin examining witnesses in relation to the supposed conflict of interest.

Additionally, Judge Graf blocked a pool video camera from showing the defendant after his defense team complained that shots of the accused speaking with his legal team could potentially be seen by lip readers and unfairly impact the trial.

A court “decorum” order prohibits visual recordings of conversations at the defense table, even if they're inaudible, that could potentially be deciphered by lip readers. It also bars close-ups of written communications. The defense argued that the video feed photographer violated such a provision twice on Friday, NewsNation reported.

The sanction of the pool video camera pertained to Friday's hearing specifically, and is not permanent. The next hearing is scheduled for February 3, and will focus on the defense’s requests to boot the Utah County Attorney's Office from the case and limit video footage in the trial.

Separately, new reporting on Lance Twiggs, Robinson's roommate and alleged lover, indicates that Twiggs is no longer being protected by federal agents.

Twiggs, who lived with Robinson at the time of Kirk's murder, has been linked to text messages about the assassination. Relatives of Twiggs say the 22-year-old identified as transgender and was "transitioning" to female.

Twiggs had an FBI security detail due to threats before he moved out of state, according to media reports. He has not been charged with any crime in connection to the assassination.

This case continues to highlight the raw tensions in our divided nation, folks. Stay tuned for developments.

Trump Drops the Hammer on JPMorgan: Lawsuit Incoming, Dimon Edition

Look, the man never sleeps, never backs down, and apparently never forgets a grudge. President Trump just announced he's gearing up to sue JPMorgan Chase for what he calls the bank's "incorrect and inappropriate" de-banking of him in the wake of the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest. 

Because nothing says "welcome back to the Oval Office" like reminding the biggest bank on the block that actions have consequences.

It all kicked off with Trump torching a Wall Street Journal report claiming he dangled the Federal Reserve Chairman position in front of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. In a Truth Social post Saturday, the president shot that down faster than a bad tweet.

"A front page Article in The Fake News Wall Street Journal states, without any verification, that I offered Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan Chase, the job of Fed Chairman. This statement is totally untrue, there was never such an offer," he wrote.

Then came the haymaker: "In fact, I'll be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest, a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting — The Election was RIGGED!"

Quick recap for the memory-challenged: On January 6, 2021, Trump told his supporters to protest peacefully while Congress certified the 2020 results. Things went sideways, tear gas flew, barricades vanished, and the media turned it into the next Reichstag fire. 

Trump told the crowd to "go home in peace" on video and Twitter. Meanwhile, leaked footage has Nancy "Hands-a-Fire" Pelosi owning the lack of National Guard prep. But sure, let's pretend it was all Trump's master plan. 

As for Dimon? The JPMorgan boss has admitted the bank de-banks people, just not for politics or religion, he insists.

"We do not de-bank people because of religious or political affiliations," Dimon said.  "We de-bank people who are Democrats, we de-bank people who are Republicans, we de-bank different religious folks. Never was that for that reason.”

Trump, of course, isn't buying it. Back in August he signed an executive order cracking down on financial institutions that discriminate based on politics or faith, basically telling banks to stop playing woke hall monitor or face the music. At the time, he didn't mince words: "The banks discriminate against conservatives, they discriminate against religion, because they're afraid of the radical left, I suspect,"

Trump said in a White House statement. "We're going to get them. Nobody knows the banking industry better than me, and I’m not going to let them take advantage of you any longer."

So buckle up, folks. The president who turned "you're fired" into a national catchphrase is now aiming it at Wall Street's biggest player. Should be a fun couple of weeks.

Michael Cohen says he was "pressured" and "coerced" by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to testify against Trump

Here we go again with another chapter in the never-ending Trump legal soap opera, but this time the script flip is coming from the guy who used to be the star witness against him.

Michael Cohen, the former fixer who spent years singing like a canary with a grudge, is now admitting he was "pressured" and "coerced" by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to deliver the anti-Trump testimony they so desperately wanted.

In his latest Substack missive (because, of course, it's on Substack), Cohen drops this gem:"I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony . . .  against President Trump."

And just in case that wasn't clear enough, he doubles down: "I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump."

He says the pressure started right from the opening bell in his first meetings with the prosecutors working for Bragg and James.

Regarding James specifically, Cohen writes: "Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump. Her office made clear that the testimony they wanted from me was testimony that would help them do just that. Again, I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking."

Trump, never one to miss a chance to say "I told you so," called the whole thing proof of a "very corrupt investigation" in a Friday night chat with conservative media site The Daily Wire. He's been calling Cohen a liar since the beginning, and now the liar is basically agreeing that the fix was in to get him to talk. Cohen walks through the two big cases: the civil fraud suit from James' office about Trump supposedly puffing up asset values for loans, and the Manhattan DA's criminal hush-money extravaganza involving Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

Juries bought it both times, of course.

Cohen unconsciously covers his groin area

But now Cohen is out here saying: "Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook. Both used their platforms to elevate their profiles, to claim the mantle of the officials who 'took down Trump.' In doing so, they blurred the line between justice and politics; and in that blur, the credibility of both suffered."

And the reason he's finally speaking up? A federal appeals court just breathed new life into Trump's push to toss the hush-money conviction, and Cohen figures staying quiet would make him complicit.

"I am not writing this to defend Donald Trump, nor to re-litigate his conduct," he insists. "That ground has been plowed endlessly, often loudly, and rarely thoughtfully. I am writing because I have seen this system from the inside. . . . When politics and prosecution become indistinguishable, public trust erodes; not just in individual cases, like mine and/or Trump's, but in the system itself. That erosion serves no one, regardless of party, personality, or power."

Translation: The guy who helped build the cases is now telling us the scaffolding was rigged from the start.

Color me shocked. Just kidding. This is New York justice we're talking about, after all.

Smiling anti-ICE agitator accused of punching FL trooper as Gov. DeSantis declarers, "This is not Minneapolis"

Smiling Cruz seen allegedly resisting arrest

Jennifer Cruz is seen allegedly resisting arrest in Florida. She was detained after allegedly punching a trooper in the face during an immigration enforcement operation, according to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.  

James Uthmeier

"This is Jennifer Cruz of Jacksonville," Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wrote in an X post, sharing an image of the woman, who appeared to smile as law enforcement restrained her, but of course, it could have simply been gas.

Moments before she cracked a grin, video [below] shows Cruz kicking toward a female officer while other law enforcement members had already placed her hands behind her back.

"Jennifer disagrees with immigration enforcement and decided to commit a few felonies by getting out of her car and punching a Trooper in the face. But unlike Minnesota, we don't put up with this nonsense. Not today, Jennifer," Uthmeier wrote.

Footage shows a chaotic scene as authorities attempted to detain Cruz. As several officers placed her hands behind her back and walked her toward one of their vehicles, Cruz is seen attempting to kick another female officer nearby. Cruz then smirks as the officers detaining her place her on the hood of a vehicle. Once placed in the back of the vehicle, she is seen flailing her corpulent legs and continuing to shout at officers until the doors are slammed.

A News4JAX reporter spoke to Juan Alvarez, the owner of the Mi Pueblo grocery store which was near where the incident occurred. He said he witnessed a traffic stop involving a state trooper.

"ICE agents showed up with the state trooper. They detained the driver," he said.

"And so yeah, they had an operation going on. And after that, they had detained another person. But it seems they got into an altercation with that person. It turned violent," he said, noting that more law enforcement showed up.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shared Uthmeier's post and wrote, "Really bad decision to attack one of our troopers. This isn't Minneapolis…"

DeSantis also mentioned the incident at an unrelated press conference on Thursday.

"I do know that there was a woman who came out and assaulted one of our troopers," DeSantis said. "Let me just tell you guys this is not Minneapolis. That is not going to end well for you in Florida."

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, (R-FL), quipped in a post, "Never go full Jennifer." [Jennifer is the new Karen.]

"This is how it's done. In Florida, we respect law enforcement and have no patience for far-left extremists who choose to defend dangerous criminals instead of their fellow Americans. This isn’t Minneapolis. In Florida, if you break the law, you will pay the consequences," Rep. Greg Steube, (R-FL), asserted on X.

Homan Vows to Expose Lefty Agitators: Reveals New Plan to 'Make Them Famous'

White House Border Czar Tom Homan just dropped the kind of line that makes red-meat conservatives want to stand up and cheer. He told Laura Ingraham on Fox that he's pushing the Trump team to build a database of the street radicals who think harassing ICE agents is a personality trait. His words? Straight fire.

"These people who want to say 'follow ICE' and 'film ICE,' you know what, you can protest, they have that right," Homan said. "But when you cross that line ... if you interfere or impede (with) some ICE officer, you will be prosecuted."

"And one thing I'm preaching for right now, Laura, we're going to create a database," he continued. "People that are arrested for interference and impeding, assault, we're gonna make them famous."

"We're going to put their face on TV. We're going to let their employers and their neighborhoods and their schools know who these people are."

Inject that directly into my veins, please, we need more of this.

Here are a few of the fine upstanding citizens we're talking about, the ones who apparently think pointing cameras at federal officers is the height of civic engagement.

Homan chuckled as he pointed out the obvious: a lot of these heroes are probably calling in sick to their day jobs. "A lot of these people, they say they're taking time off work to protest—I betcha a lot of them are calling in sick," he said. "I bet you a lot of their employers don't know what they're doing."

"But we're going to make sure everybody knows who they are."

Can't wait for the moment these brave souls start scrambling to put their masks back on after spending years mocking law enforcement for wearing them. The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast.

Speaking of masks and hypocrisy, take a look at these masked marvels who suddenly discover the value of anonymity when the consequences come knocking.

This all kicked off because Tampon Tim Walz decided to pour more gasoline on the fire. The governor posted a video egging on the mob to "film ICE agents" so they "can create a database of these atrocities against Minnesotans ... to bank evidence for future prosecutions."Homan's response: two can play that game, Governor. And we're better at it.

And the man himself, Tom Homan, who clearly isn't in the mood for any more poppycock.

Whether the administration actually follows through on the "make them famous" plan remains to be seen. But why not? If you're getting arrested for impeding federal officers, your mug deserves the same viral treatment you tried to give ICE.

President Trump already warned Walz on Truth Social: "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."

Homan called it "certainly an option. A viable option." He added, "I think it's something that needs to be on the table because this cannot continue. There is going to be more bloodshed. I'm telling you. I hope I'm wrong ... There's going to be more bloodshed if something isn't done."

The Democrats' outrage machine runs on exactly that: more chaos, more headlines, more fundraising, more calling those who disagree with them 'racists'. They don't want calm. They want blood and ballots.

So yeah, Homan will be meeting with Trump. Maybe they'll talk databases. Maybe Insurrection Act. Maybe both.

One thing is for sure: the lefty agitators who thought doxxing ICE was cute are about to find out how it feels when the spotlight swings the other way.

Famous? Oh, they're gonna be famous.

Minneapolis Mayor sings a different tune, now calls for peace after telling ICE to eff off

Democrat Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, who told ICE to "get the f**k out" [of his city] now calls for peace after another shooting incident. Frey's tone shift comes after an illegal immigrant was shot by a federal agent following an alleged ambush shovel attack.

On Wednesday he called for peace amid escalating protests, a sharp shift in his previous tone.

Frey appeared at a late news conference after an illegal immigrant from Venezuela was shot in the leg after he allegedly ambushed a federal agent with a shovel.

"I'm calling for peace," Frey told reporters. "Everybody has a role in achieving that peace, and we're going to try and do everything we can to keep it."

This comes as tensions remain high in the streets of Minneapolis. Here are scenes from the ongoing protests against ICE operations in the city.

Frey has repeatedly condemned ICE's immigration enforcement operations and again called for ICE to leave Minneapolis.

"There's still a lot that we don't know at this time, but what I can tell you for certain is that this is not sustainable," he said. "This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in.We're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street," he added. "We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another."

He said ICE and U.S. Border Patrol agents were "creating chaos" despite many being confronted, sometimes violently, by protesters upset at the Trump administration's immigration enforcement campaign.

"I've seen conduct by ICE that is disgusting and intolerable," the leftist said.

He urged protesters not to "take the bait" from President Trump.

"And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop," he said. "That is not helpful. … You are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city. You are not helping the people that call this place home."

The mayor's tone was a stark difference from the tirade he unleashed last week following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.

"To ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here," Frey said during a press conference after the shooting. "Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite."

On Wednesday, Frey maintained that he has not engaged in violent rhetoric.

"Show a single place where I have encouraged anything other than peace. Show me a single place where we have encouraged violence," Frey added.

The Department of Homeland Security said a federal agent opened fire on an illegal immigrant who allegedly fled a traffic stop and then beat the agent with a snow shovel.

On Thursday, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if local authorities failed to restore control.

"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," he raged in a Truth Social post.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday pleaded with Trump to "turn the temperature down."ICE responded with a post on X.

"The buck stops with you, Governor," the post states. "Tone down the hostile, inflammatory anti-ICE rhetoric. Honor our immigration detainers. And work with ICE to remove criminal illegal aliens from MN streets."

Here is another shot of Frey at City Hall, addressing the media amid the chaos.

This situation in Minneapolis continues to unfold, folks, with strong words flying from all sides. Stay tuned.

US Attorney's Office looking back at case of Philly teacher's 20 stab-wound "suicide" by then-AG Josh Shapiro

The feds have finally decided to poke around the truly bizarre 2011 case of Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg, who somehow managed to "commit suicide" by stabbing herself 20 times, including several in the back of her neck and base of her skull, a feat that would make even the most flexible contortionist raise an eyebrow. Seriously!

The medical examiner originally called it a homicide, then, for some crazy reason, flipped to suicide faster than a speeding bullet. That ruling has stood ever since, despite the family's relentless pushback and mountains of skepticism from anyone who's ever seen a crime show. 

According to sources speaking to NBC10, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is now sniffing around. They've requested, and last month actually obtain documents tied to Ms. Greenberg's death. The scope isn't crystal clear, but it seems focused on how various local agencies handled (or mishandled) the investigation over the years, with whispers of possible criminal corruption in the mix.

Greenberg was just 27 when found dead by her fiancé Sam Goldberg in their shared apartment, a 10-inch blade protruding from her chest like some grim exclamation point. Her parents have long insisted this was murder, accusing local authorities of covering up a botched homicide probe.

Of course it was murder. It was as obvious that there are only two genders.

Adding fuel to the fire: the original medical examiner signed a sworn statement in January 2025 saying the death should be ruled something other than suicide. A doctor who treated Greenberg beforehand noted she was "not suicidal" and documented bruises that "suggest domestic abuse sufficient to account for her anxiety." 

Oh, and at least one stab wound reportedly came after she would have already been dead, because nothing says "self-inflicted" like postmortem enthusiasm.

Josh Shapiro, then Pennsylvania's Attorney General, backed the suicide call, and the case sat dormant for years. It only started getting fresh side-eye when Shapiro was floated as a potential VP pick for Kamala Harris in 2024.

So is Josh Shapiro culpable, shady or stupid? You make the call.

The parents sued Philadelphia, eventually settling after the city coughed up $650,000 and promised an independent review by a new medical examiner. 

The October report still calls it suicide.

Because apparently in this town, 20 stab wounds, many in impossible spots,  plus signs of possible abuse and a flipped ruling add up to a textbook self-exit. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along before the feds start asking too many uncomfortable questions.

And imagine if she shot herself 20 times and they couldn't find the weapon.

Trump Cheers as Minnesota Judge Refuses to Hamstring “Highly Successful” ICE Operations

President Trump is singing the praises of a "highly respected" Minnesota federal judge after she shot down the state's desperate bid to slap a temporary restraining order on I.C.E. operations in the heavily Democratic-controlled state.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez, a Biden autopen appointee, flat-out rejected Minnesota's request to freeze I.C.E.'s work while the state's lawsuit against the Trump administration crawls through the courts.

"A highly respected judge declined to block I.C.E. operations in the very politically corrupt State of Minnesota. I.C.E. will therefore be allowed to continue its highly successful operation of removing some of the most violent and vicious criminals anywhere in the World, many of them murderers, from the State," Trump declared. "The great patriots of Law Enforcement will continue to make our Country safe. RECORD LOW CRIME NUMBERS!!!"

Judge Menendez was careful to note that her ruling on the emergency motion wasn't a preview of how she’ll ultimately decide the bigger case. As CBS News reported, she said: "I think the issues are really important and I don't want to suggest by not acting immediately one way or the other that I think they are unimportant. To the contrary, I understand this is important to everybody."

Minnesota had begged for a quick two-week timeout, claiming the state needed breathing room to prepare its legal challenge and insisting that the 3,000 federal agents flooding Minneapolis and the surrounding areas were somehow trampling on citizens' rights.

The feds are required to respond to the lawsuit by January 19. Menendez also turned down a federal prosecutor’s request to push back that deadline because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, telling both sides the matter was simply too urgent for any delay.

The whole circus kicked off Monday when radical Minnesota AG Keith Ellison announced the state was suing the Trump administration to halt what he dramatically called an "invasion" of federal agents. The timing was no coincidence: the lawsuit dropped just days after Minneapolis resident Renee Good was fatally shot by an I.C.E. agent following a confrontation in which she drove her vehicle toward him. That incident has fueled nonstop protests for more than a week now, prompting the administration to pour even more agents into the city.

Then, on Wednesday night, another I.C.E. shooting sent Minneapolis spiraling further into outrage. According to DHS, a federal agent was ambushed and attacked by three individuals while attempting to take a suspected Venezuelan illegal immigrant into custody on the city’s Northside.President Trump isn’t backing down.

On Thursday he fired off a warning shot on Truth Social, threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota's "corrupt politicians" don't rein in the chaos: "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., 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. Thank you for you [sic] attention to this matter!"

Bottom line: Trump is thrilled, I..C.E. keeps rolling, and the left’s attempt to kneecap federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota just hit a brick wall. 

You can bet there's more to follow.

Articles of Impeachment Filed Against Democrat Gov. Tim Walz

A Minnesota lawmaker just filed articles of impeachment against Gov. Tim Walz, a far-left Democrat.

Walz has drawn ire and national heat after reports exposed a huge fraud scandal in his state, mostly tied to Somali residents. Federal prosecutor Joseph Thompson held a bombshell press conference last month confirming that $9 billion (or possibly more) in taxpayer dollars may have been stolen on Walz's watch, and many believe that he knew about it and may have possibly personally benefitted from the fraud.

GOP state Rep. Mike Wiener announced on Facebook Monday that he officially filed the articles. "I have officially filed Articles of Impeachment against Governor Tim Walz, initiating the impeachment process in the Minnesota House of Representatives," he posted.

The articles charge Walz with corrupt conduct and violating his oath of office.

The four specific articles claim Walz knowingly concealed widespread fraud in the Department of Human Services despite repeated warnings, interfered with lawful oversight and investigations into the fraud, put political considerations ahead of lawful administration, and failed to faithfully execute state laws, especially those protecting public funds. If true, Timmy is in deep poo.

"Democrat control of our state has led to 9 billion dollars of fraud that we currently know about," Wiener told Newsweek. "Governor Walz said ‘the buck stops with him.’ Since he refused to resign the next step is impeachment. Our taxpayers are demanding this, and if the Democrats don’t support the impeachment they are complicit with the fraud."

This impeachment push needs to pass the Minnesota House and Senate, where control is split 67-67. Wiener says he'll need at least one Democrat in committee to vote with him just to get it to the full House.

Thompson outlined how 14 taxpayer-funded programs have been hit hard by fraud since 2018. Those programs total $18 billion, and he said half or more could be fraudulent claims.

"I think we're an outlier in a bad way," Thompson said of Minnesota. "You don’t see fraud on this scale in other states. … Every day we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme. That shouldn't be the case in a state of our size. Certainly other states have problems with frauds, but I think our problem is unique."

Walz, who's squarely in the hot seat, calls Thompson's comments "sensationalism" and insists there's "no evidence" the fraud hits $9 billion or higher.

Earlier this month Walz, knowing he has a snowball's chance of winning, said he won't run for reelection as governor. In a long-winded statement, the man who put Tampons in the boys' bathrooms across the state, claimed Minnesota is being unfairly targeted by the Trump administration and, rather than yelling "squirrel," pointed to the ongoing fraud scandals the Justice Department is investigating and prosecuting.

"Like many Minnesotans, I was glad to turn the page on 2025. It was an extraordinarily difficult year for our state. And it ended on a particularly sour note," Walz said.

Tampon Tim's legacy keeps getting worse.

Trump admin freezes visa processing for 75 countries, including Iran, Russia, and yes Somalia

The State Department is slamming the brakes on immigrant visa processing for 75 countries. The goal? Crack down hard on applicants likely to become a public charge and drain American resources.

A State Department memo, obtained first by Fox News Digital, orders consular officers to refuse visas under existing law while the department reviews and strengthens screening and vetting procedures.

The affected countries include Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, Yemen, and dozens more.

Somalia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Thailand among nations hit by indefinite pause starting Jan. 21.

Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda are on the new restrictions list from the Trump administration over concerns with their Citizenship by Investment programs. Here's a look at the stunning Antigua coastline that draws so many visitors.

This pause kicks in January 21 as mentioned, and continues indefinitely until a full reassessment of immigrant visa processing is complete.

Somalia has been under intense federal scrutiny after a massive fraud scandal exploded in Minnesota. Prosecutors exposed widespread abuse of taxpayer-funded benefit programs, with many involved being Somali nationals or Somali-Americans.

Back in November 2025, a State Department cable went out to posts worldwide, directing consular officers to enforce tough new screening rules under the "public charge" provision of immigration law.

The guidance tells officers to deny visas to anyone likely to rely on public benefits. They weigh everything: health, age, English proficiency, finances, and even potential future need for long-term medical care.

Here are views of the Quality Learning Center in Minnesota, which sat at the heart of the alleged childcare fraud scandal rocking the state.

Older or overweight applicants could face denial, as could anyone with any past use of government cash assistance or institutionalization.

"The State Department will use its long-standing authority to deem ineligible potential immigrants who would become a public charge on the United States and exploit the generosity of the American people," State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggott said in a statement.

"Immigration from these 75 countries will be paused while the State Department reassess immigration processing procedures to prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would take welfare and public benefits."

This image shows the sign at Quality Learning Center, [formerly known as the Quality Learing Center] where manager Ibrahim Ali denied any fraud despite explosive reports from independent journalist Nick Shirley. The scandal broke right before the State Department hit pause on visa processing.

The pause starts January 21 and runs indefinitely until the department finishes reassessing visa processing.

While the public charge rule has been on the books for decades, enforcement has swung wildly depending on the administration. Consular officers have historically had broad discretion.Exceptions to this new pause will be "very limited" and only granted after an applicant fully clears public charge concerns.

The 2022 Biden-era version of the rule narrowed things down, mostly to cash assistance and long-term institutional care, while excluding programs like SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, or housing vouchers.

The Immigration and Nationality Act has always allowed consular officers to block applicants on public charge grounds. President Donald Trump expanded the definition in 2019 to cover a much wider range of benefits. Courts challenged that expansion, parts got blocked, and the Biden administration rescinded it.

Here are more images from the Minnesota childcare fraud investigation that helped fuel this crackdown.

The full list of affected countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen. And a partridge in a pear tree.

America First means protecting our generosity from exploitation. This is a big step in that direction.

Woman deftly removed from car by ICE after impeding enforcement ops in-- guess where

The dolt in the hat with sign obviously doesn't understand physics: light vs. heat

A video blowing up on social media shows ICE agents dragging a woman out of her vehicle after she allegedly used it to block a lawful enforcement operation Tuesday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This mess comes less than a week after Renee Good was fatally shot by agents when she tried the same stunt, interfering with operations and striking an ICE agent with her vehicle.

The driver (still unidentified) parked her car across multiple lanes, clearly trying to stop ICE vehicles during an anti-ICE protest. As agents moved in to clear protesters off the road, they approached her after she tried to wedge them between her car and another vehicle."Go, go, go, go," people yelled at the driver as agents surrounded the car.

Agents reached through the open window, unlocked the doors, grabbed her, and dragged her out.

She resisted hard as they pulled her from the vehicle, screaming that she had been "beaten up by police before" and that she was disabled. She claimed she was just trying to reach a doctor's office and that's why she hadn't moved her car.

Clinging to her open car door, she shouted to bystanders that she was an "autistic, disabled person." Agents pried her hands loose, pushed her against the vehicle, and slapped on the handcuffs.

Bystanders blew whistles and yelled "Stop," "That’s so f**ked up," and "All you do is hurt."A few minutes later, protesters and black-clad agitators swarmed ICE vehicles and started pounding on them. Agents had to hit back with pepper spray and pepper balls to disperse the crowd. Several people ended up on the ground in cuffs as officers restored order.

Protesters kept calling the ICE agents "Nazi's," with one yelling, "You will pay for your crimes." ICE ERO Acting Executive Associate Director Marcos Charles said at least 60 protesters who had "impeded us or assaulted an officer" were arrested.

This Minneapolis clash shows the real danger federal immigration officers face doing their lawful jobs. Less than a week after Renee Good struck and injured an ICE agent with her vehicle (leading to the fatal outcome), agents are still dealing with nonstop defiance. Protesters keep putting themselves and officers in needless danger. The tragedy with Good should have been a wake-up call. Clearly, it wasn't.
