It’s not about ICE. It’s about something much bigger.

Allan J. Feifer | January 25, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

If leftists can defeat ICE in Minneapolis, they will have set the stage for a power grab that will undo the liberty-based American Revolution of 1776.

Events in Minneapolis on Saturday lay bare a stark reality. The cabal of leftist politicians, Antifa, crazy women, and dedicated communists has decided to make a stand here, right now, in Minnesota. We are witnessing a boil in the process of bursting, and it won’t be pretty. Nowhere else in the country is ICE under attack as it is here. You must ask yourself: Why?

Governor Waltz and Mayor Frey believe they can beat back the federal government and force ICE out of Minnesota. It is not simply a symbol or a heartfelt belief that all Minnesotans are neighbors; it’s much, much more. Listen to other Governors apparently reading from the same script as they demagogue ICE and the Border Patrol in lockstep with each other. Importantly, this isn’t just pushback against federal authority. After all, Obama deported more illegals than Trump without the pushback. There’s something more happening here.

So, what’s going on? This is about acquiring permanent power.

Democrats believe they must have open borders and a steady stream of illegal aliens that can be bought off with freebies, special carve-outs, and, if that does not work, welfare and benefit fraud binds them to their Democrat benefactors. Once they are so enmeshed, the Democrats’ diabolical trap springs shut. The endgame is revealed as we see all the illogical subterfuge, lies, scams, and outright hatred of America was just a smokescreen for what they really have been planning for the last fifty years—total domination of the American political scene...forever.

You must admit, that’s worth an awful lot for them, and you don’t have to look too closely either, as they tell us what they want to do openly once they achieve the power necessary to fulfill their wildest wishes:

• Permanent open borders
• An enlarged Supreme Court that will resemble a baseball roster more than the height of jurisprudence.
• Two more states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, that are guaranteed to be reliably Democrat.
• Destruction of the Electoral College
• Control of the census to ensure “their” people are always counted
• Control of the purse strings so they can reliably buy votes and destroy our economic system
• Place internationalism and globalism over American laws

The list is endless and so disgusting that it’s difficult to contemplate.

All they need to make this happen is to prove that they have enough power to stop ICE and the Border Patrol from removing illegal aliens. When they have accomplished that, it will embolden all the hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, all the foreign flag-wavers you see at every demonstration, and all the hundreds of thousands of people on government and NGO payrolls that want the good times to continue forever. To inspire the footsoldiers, all they need to do is push out the federal officers emptying their cities of illegal aliens, whether they are convicted, accused, or simply economic migrants who want in on the gravy train and a piece of the looting going on.

This is the moment. We either do whatever is necessary to enforce federal law, or we lie down and let them overwhelm us. It was never going to be pretty. And that’s exactly what the other side seeks—spectacle.

Deny them a continuing spectacle by quelling the violence, restoring order, and, if a crime can be proved, arresting those politicians, up to and including the Governor of Minnesota, for fomenting rebellion and abetting the looting of his state and the American treasury.

There, I’ve said it, Democrats are doing nothing less than seeking the violent overthrow of our country. In law, we have the Doctrine of Clean Hands. Waltz and Frey certainly have plenty of dirt on their hands and can’t be part of any solution.

This is a fight we cannot avoid; the other side brought it, now we must finish it.

God Bless America!

 

 

Democrats and their cohorts are playing with fire when they weaponize immigration to fit their evil doings.

 

Democrats threaten to shut down government to protect illegal alien criminals

Eric Utter | January 25, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

So much for insensitivity and heartlessness, every time Republicans try to do this.

Senate Democrats recently signaled that they would be willing to shut down much of the government—again—rather than vote for a package that includes funds for immigration enforcement.

This seems a bit tone deaf, as securing the border and immigration enforcement were two of the main reasons President Trump was elected.

Several things are at play here.

Democrats are so scared of losing the new and burgeoning voting bloc they illegally imported into the U.S. that they will do anything to protect it, American citizens be damned. If a few thousand Americans have to be robbed, raped, or killed—and tens of thousands annually lose their lives to fentanyl and other drugs, well, that’s the way it has to be.

So, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (Asshat-N.Y.) said Democrats wouldn’t vote to advance the broader package if the current measure funding the Department of Homeland Security is included.

Translation: “If we don’t get what we want, we’ll take the ball and go home. We’ll shut the effing government down if you don’t give us what we want, even if we aren’t in power. Which means that we are always in power, which is how it should be, Allahu Akhbar! Ha, ha, ha, ha!”

Another shutdown to protect their fraud money and perpetual voter base? Funny, they didn’t use to like shutdowns of the vital, life-giving government. In fact, they continually blamed every shutdown on Republicans and made it seem as if thousands would die because of their insensitivity and heartlessness.

And now they pretend to be outraged at the deaths of the two protesters/terrorists shot by ICE, when, in reality, they are driven to peak arousal over each new death of the useful idiots they’ve essentially instructed to assault federal law enforcement. Why? Because each new death takes the focus off their corruption and is an opportunity to let the catastrophically compromised mainstream media convince people that they are somehow on “the right side of history.”

If Democrats should eventually succeed in shutting the government down to aid and abet alien criminals, Republicans must go to DEFCON 1, immediately nuke the filibuster, and do anything and everything else possible to stop this swelling Marxist insurrection.

Democrats in Minneapolis and their paid minions have turned what normally is the routine apprehension and deportation of violent illegal alien criminals into a civil war-level event. Playing with fire doesn’t begin to describe this. In days of yore, the likes of Walz and Frey could literally be “hung from the highest yardarm” for such treasonous actions.

 

"Adopting the position of sanctuary cities is an abuse of the federalist system; our federal sovereignty and national security are at stake".

 

Sanctuary cities and states have leapt over the line

Susan Quinn | January 23, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

High-profile arrests are non-negotiable.

President Trump has once again condemned sanctuary cities, particularly regarding their irresponsible actions to ignore immigration law. Protestors have attacked, spit on, and screamed at ICE agents, convinced that their own violations of federal law are justified.

But the Democrats’ approach in Minneapolis against ICE is patently illegal, as they should have learned when they tried to nullify federal tariffs within their boundaries in 1832, fundamentally trying to nullify federal law:

What the Democrats of South Carolina did back then is essentially what the Democrats of Minneapolis are doing today, fomenting a 21st century nullification crisis by making it nearly impossible to enforce federal immigration law in the territory under their jurisdiction. Trump, who has ordered 1,500 active-duty troops stationed in Alaska to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, is well within his rights (and within historical precedent) to respond in the same vein as [President] Jackson did to what amounts to a nullification crisis.

Indeed, the whole point of so-called sanctuary laws is to make it difficult or impossible to enforce federal immigration laws — to nullify them. Sanctuary policies like the ones operative in Minneapolis (and many other Democrat-controlled cities) prohibit state and local law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities.

President Trump’s position against the chaos is clear; last year, he issued an executive order which laid out the (il)legality of such behavior:

[S]ome State and local officials nevertheless continue to use their authority to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of Federal immigration laws. This is a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law and the Federal Government’s obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States. Beyond the intolerable national security risks, such nullification efforts often violate Federal criminal laws, including those prohibiting obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), unlawfully harboring or hiring illegal aliens (8 U.S.C. 1324), conspiracy against the United States (18 U.S.C. 371), and conspiracy to impede Federal law enforcement (18 U.S.C. 372). Assisting aliens in violating Federal immigration law could also violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. 1961 et seq.).

Democrats are guilty of insurrection, and they may even be violating the RICO Act.

Trump’s order directed federal agencies to take decisive action against such lawlessness, and a few months later in August, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote to 32 sanctuary jurisdictions to let them know that she intended to use the power of the purse to compel lawfulness: the E.O. directed the DOJ to identify funds that could be denied to those jurisdictions for their non-compliance. Although the federal government’s ability to deny funds are limited, they do exist:

The federal government does have a mechanism for getting states and cities to voluntarily do what they can’t be forced to do. It’s called money. Congress could deny states or cities certain funds unless they abolish their sanctuary policies. There are limits to this strategy: Washington can’t shut off unrelated funds that states or cities need to keep functioning. But immigrant-related federal funding—for example, money devoted to sheltering new, legal immigrants—could presumably be denied to states and cities that maintain sanctuary policies.

The blue states may still pursue attacks on federal law, refusing to cooperate with ICE, and creating mayhem; three people were already arrested for allegedly violating the FACE Act, as they protested inside a church that was holding services this past Sunday.

The lawless encouragement by Democrat leaders reflects a blatant disregard for managing our borders, for removing criminal illegal aliens from the street, and for protecting ICE and our citizens from the agitators’ hysterical behavior.

Adopting the position of sanctuary cities is an abuse of the federalist system; our federal sovereignty and national security are at stake. The federal government must be allowed to implement immigration law, and take actions against any state to stop this abhorrent, illegal, and unconstitutional mayhem.

Maybe it’s time for state leaders to be charged with obstruction of justice, or worse.

Minnesota/Minneapolis/St. Paul - no end to the evil, demonstrative corruption that has taken control. Our Nation is at war with itself!

 

Wife of judge who shut down charges against Don Lemon is an assistant AG to Keith Ellison: Report

Carlos Garcia January 22, 2026 theblaze.com

Three others faced charges over their actions at the church.

The wife of the judge who refused to accept charges against Don Lemon for disrupting a church service is herself an assistant attorney general working for AG Keith Ellison.

Three alleged participants in the anti-ICE protest at a Saint Paul church were charged on Thursday, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

'We will protect our pastors. We will protect our churches. We will protect Americans of faith.'

While many believed the former CNN anchor would also face charges over his participation in the protest, sources told various news outlets that a magistrate refused to sign off on the charges.

The magistrate was later identified as Judge Douglas Micko, whose wife, Caitlin Micko, works in Ellison's office, according to some reports.

Lemon has claimed to have acted as a journalist when he joined the protesters against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They targeted the Cities Church because a senior pastor at the church has been reportedly identified as the leader of an ICE office.

Activist attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong said the pastor's ICE role posed a "fundamental moral conflict" with his church role.

"You cannot lead a congregation while directing an agency whose actions have cost lives and inflicted fear in our communities," Armstrong said. "When officials protect armed agents, repeatedly refuse meaningful investigation into killings like Renee Good's, and signal they may pursue peaceful protesters and journalists, that is not justice — it is intimidation."

The administration may pursue other alternatives to seek Lemon's prosecution.

One source said that Attorney General Pam Bondi was "enraged at the magistrate judge's decision."

Lemon's attorney, Abbe Lowell, released a statement defending his actions.

"The magistrate's reported actions confirm the nature of Don's First Amendment protected work this weekend in Minnesota as a reporter,” he said, according to Politico. "It was no different than what he has done for more than 30 years, reporting and covering newsworthy events on the ground and engaging in constitutionally protected activity as a journalist."

A Blaze News request for comment from Ellison's office was not immediately answered.
