There Is No "Nice" Way To Do Mass Deportations
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 1/16/2026 2:42:31 PM
Predictably, a fresh wave of outrage against President Donald Trump and his administration's immigration policies followed the shooting in Minnesota of anti-ice activist Renee Good. Viral videos of alleged outrages committed by ICE agents are bolstering the case against the ongoing raids and deportations. While the majority of those speaking out against them are on the left, some on the right are also falling prey to the pressure campaign. These queasy conservatives now claim that their objections to the ICE raids are grounded in a suspicion that they may be detrimental to the goal of mass deportations.

A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative narrative (snip) congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military raids (snip) and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence (snip.) Obviously that narrative has gone into overdrive since the unfortunate killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis (snip) Notably we're not seeing many ugly situations like what happened in Minneapolis in red states because the police and authorities there have been directed to cooperate. So Democrats have a simple choice before them: They can choose to (snip) cooperate with ICE, or they can choose to make their communities more dangerous.

Washington Post staffers have responded to the silence of the newspaper's owner, Jeff Bezos, on the FBI's raid of a reporter's home, calling it "nauseating and irresponsible."

Reports circulating on social media alleging sexual assault, excessive force and kidnapping of U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents during recent enforcement operations in the Twin Cities gained widespread attention this week. But the Department of Homeland Security is pushing back on those claims and saying they don't withstand a review of the facts. In one case, cellphone video captured agents escorting a detainee into a portable toilet during an arrest in Minneapolis. TikTok activists immediately implied it was a sexual assault (snip.)
Governor Tim Walz encouraged Minnesota residents to carry their phones at all times to record federal immigration actions, promising during a statewide address on Wednesday night that "accountability is coming" for abuses by Federal officers. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution" (snip.) "News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities," Walz said.

Minnesota and Maine are two different states, but have a lot in common when it comes to Medicare fraud.

Americans who remember how an incident in Minneapolis six yeas ago plunged the whole country into a summer of rioting -- then years of elevated criminal violence -- should think carefully about where the protests over the death of Renee Good are leading. Like the killing of George Floyd, Good's tragedy is being exploited for a political purpose with the radical activists (snip) demanding an end to (snip) not only the agency, ICE, but the enforcement of the nation's democratically enacted immigration laws. It's the protesters veto, an assertion by activists of a right to cancel laws they don't like.
President Trumps said Tuesday that he's preparing to halt federal funding to sanctuary cities and states on Feb. 1 -- potentially yanking billions in revenue in response to laws barring cooperation with immigration agents. "Starting February 1, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," Trump said during a speech in Detroit. "It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come. So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.
The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (DPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred living in Minnesota under the protection. Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17. "Temporary means temporary," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirements for Temporary protected Status." "Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests," Noem added. "We are putting Americans first.

Judge rules feds in Minneapolis immigration

operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters 22 replies
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren’t obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez’s ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month.
Federal agents and demonstrators have repeatedly clashed since the crackdown began.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, has its priorities out of order.
As chaos unfolds due to leftist agitators and rioters harassing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers trying to apprehend illegal aliens, city officials are offering employees healing circles and baby “therapy goats.”
In an email screenshotted and uploaded to social media platform X on Thursday, Minneapolis City Attorney Kristyn Anderson announced that a healing circle would be provided “as a quiet, supportive environment for connection and presence.” After mentioning the goats were also available, she warmly told her colleagues they are “welcome to simply sit, listen, and be in community with another.”
Minnesota residents of Somali descent and Hispanic heritage are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to effectively shut down federal immigration enforcement across the state.
On Thursday, the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), representing Somali immigrant Mubashir Khalif Hussen, Mahamed Eydarus, who is American and of Somali descent, and Javier Doe, a Hispanic American, filed suit against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons, among other agency officials.
The lawsuit is asking a federal court to issue a statewide injunction to stop what it calls “unlawful policies and practices” being carried out by ICE agents, including allegations of racial profiling.
The President Receives a Historic Gift

On Thursday afternoon, I wrote about how María Corina Machado visited the White House and had lunch with Donald Trump. While I was writing that article, some rumors were circulating about a big gesture she made, but I couldn't confirm them at the time. Now I can. The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.
Canada’s globalist Prime Minister Mark Carney’s long-anticipated trip to Beijing appears to be marked by a striking pivot away from Canada’s traditional alliances and toward deeper engagement with Communist China.
Claimed by Carney as a necessary adjustment to a “new world order,” the visit instead underscored Ottawa’s growing willingness to accommodate Beijing—and push away the United States—at a moment of geopolitical upheaval.
The prime minister of America’s neighbor to the north gushed over Chinese President Xi Jinping, praising his “leadership” during public remarks—language that raised eyebrows both at home and abroad.
If Minnesota officials don’t like President Donald Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act, maybe they should do more to tamp down the insurrectionary activity in their state.
After an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was violently attacked by two illegal immigrants while making an arrest Wednesday night and shot one assailant in the leg in self-defense, anti-ICE activists — predictably enough — rioted.
In response to the unprovoked attack on the officer, Mayor Jacob Frey once again blasted ICE.
Imagine, he implored,
The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.
Canada and China are forging ahead with a new strategic partnership and both sides stand to make “historic” gains as they leverage each other’s strengths, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday.
“Particularly in agriculture and agri-food, energy, and finance,” Carney said. “That is where I believe we can make immediate and sustained progress.”
Carney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China since 2017, was on a mission to Beijing this week to forge a new partnership with Canada’s second-largest trading partner after the United States, building on months of diplomatic efforts to turn the page on previous tensions and conflict.

A billionaire's yacht was renamed after the media mogul didn't realize that the ship's title, spelled backwards, was a vulgar antisemitic phrase.
Larry Ellison, once the world's richest person and the co-founder of the media and entertainment conglomerate, Oracle, renamed his German-built yacht the Izanami, which, spelt backwards, reads: 'I'm a nazi'.
The 81-year-old chose to name the enormous, 191-foot vessel after a Shinto deity in Japanese mythology, the goddess of creation and death, seemingly without realizing the phrase it spelled in reverse.
Ellison, whose family has strong ties to Israel, became aware of the vile phrase and renamed the yacht, according to Futurism.
The yacht owner has repeatedly shown his support for Israel,

tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland 14 replies
— U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital.
Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”
During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.
A far-left, race-baiting mayor of a small Missouri town of less than 2,400 people has been busted on nine incredibly heinous crimes after perpetrating a disgusting race hoax.
As First Alert 4 news reported, Riverview mayor Mike Cornell Jr. has been charged with four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, three counts of first-degree sodomy or attempted sodomy, one count of first-degree harassment, and one count of possession of child pornography.
There were four victims involved in these incidents, including two minors under the age of 17. The alleged crimes occurred between December 2016 and 2026.
The Somali “daycare” grift continues, with YouTuber Nick Shirley giving his audience more viral video that should open American eyes.
The latest from Shirley, published to YouTube on Wednesday, shows him back in Minneapolis, as there is unfortunately no shortage of fraudsters raking in tax dollars while the rest of us go to work. In one segment, he paid a visit to Hopkins Childcare Center, a facility reportedly receiving $2.25 million a year in assistance.[snip] The others in his group began recording Shirley, with one speaking on a phone, possibly to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s office or Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey.
Comments:
It bears repeating (and remembering) that virtually all of the alleged "outrages" are occurring in "blue" jurisdictions. There are almost none in "red" jurisdictions because local authorities neither foment nor tolerate harassment by activists and the many illegal aliens apprehended for other lawbreaking are tuned over to ICE without drama.
