Trump Administration Begins Criminal Inquiry Into Minnesota Leaders

The Trump administration has opened a criminal investigation into elected Democrats in Minnesota, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter, a major escalation in the fight between the federal government and local officials over the aggressive immigration crackdown underway in the city.

The investigation would focus on allegations that Gov. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, had conspired to impede thousands of federal agents who have been sent to the city since last month. Last week, one of those agents killed a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good.

The Tides Foundation Model: Power Without Visibility

The Tides Foundation rarely appears prominently in public debate, yet it occupies a critical position in modern American civic life. It is not a political party, a campaign committee, or a government agency. It does not pass laws, issue rulings, or command police forces. And yet, through its structure, it exerts influence over how laws are enforced, how public norms are shaped, and how activism is sustained.

US protests condemn ICE killing of Renee Good and ‘a regime that is willing to kill its own citizens’

On a rainy Saturday in Philadelphia, two separate protests, both with a few hundred people, marched from city hall to the federal detention center. They differed slightly in solutions as well as crowd makeup – white older adults dominated the morning’s march organized by the groups behind the No Kings protests, while a more racially diverse crowd swathed in keffiyehs and N95 face masks led the afternoon’s, planned by the local Democratic Socialists of America chapter. However, both groups shared a goal: for ICE to get out of American communities and to put an end to Donald Trump’s warmongering in Venezuela.

“From Venezuela to Minneapolis, all we’re seeing is a regime that is scrambling, willing to kill its own citizens, willing to kill foreign citizens, to maintain its power,” said Deborah Rose Hinchey, co-chair of the city’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter.

Meet the Group Behind the Pro-Maduro Protests

The People’s Forum is an “incubator” for leftist radicals—and eerily reminiscent of a cult.

Within hours of Delta Force’s extraction of Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, far-left activists flooded the streets with premade signs and polished talking points. The protests’ speedy appearance and apparent organization should have been no surprise. For years, groups like The People’s Forum (TPF) have cultivated a cultish following, capable of activating scores of organizations at a moment’s notice—always in service of the interests of America’s adversaries.

Here’s the damning email that confirms the CIA overthrew the US govt. in 2020…

In the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election, bumbling Joe Biden was struggling. He was unpopular, uninspiring, and clearly not firing on all cylinders. Then the Hunter Biden laptop from hell made an appearance, and suddenly the election was at real risk of slipping out of his shaky hands. The laptop wasn’t rumor or speculation. It was real and verifiable, and it contained information that any sane voter would want to know before casting a ballot for president.

When Can We Start Uprooting Domestic Terror Cells Attacking Law Enforcement?

By now, most people have seen about six different angles of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s encounter with left-wing radical Renee Nicole Good, proving he was fully justified in using lethal force to stop her from bulldozing over innocent people.

Good was reportedly a member of an insurgency cell called “ICE Watch,” where she received training as a “warrior” to act against ICE agents conducting lawful enforcement operations against illegal aliens.

Here’s who’s really behind the Minneapolis ICE resistance movement

Radical leftist groups, including one financed with $7.8 million from progressive billionaire George Soros, are behind the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, The Post has learned.

Indivisible Twin Cities, which describes itself as a grassroots group of volunteers, has led many of the protests against ICE raids in Minnesota, where Renee Macklin Good was shot dead Wednesday after allegedly trying to mow down an ICE agent with her vehicle.

Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the “Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.

Legal experts weigh in on deadly Minneapolis ICE shooting — and whether charges are possible

The Minneapolis woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a deadly confrontation Wednesday likely committed a serious felony offense — even if she did not intend to ram the federal officer with her vehicle, according to a former federal prosecutor and legal scholar.

Andrew C. McCarthy, the former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York, noted that to him, video footage of the events leading up to the shooting does not appear to show Renee Nicole Good, 37, trying to intentionally run over the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots.

Deadly ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Draws Trump Reaction, Angry Response

President Trump says video of an ICE officer fatally shooting a woman — later identified as Renee Nicole Good, 37 — in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning is “a horrible thing to watch” but says the woman “viciously ran over the ICE officer,” a claim disputed by witnesses.

The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, used a coarse expression to describe any claim of self-defense. ICE officers have flooded the city in recent days in show of force, and Homeland Security says they were carrying out “targeted operations” on Wednesday when the deadly confrontation played out.

Meet the Anti-Cop Activists Who Will Advise Mamdani on Criminal Justice

Many members of the mayor-elect’s Committee on Community Safety have long histories of anti-law-enforcement radicalism.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants to reimagine public safety in New York City. On the campaign trail, he promised to devote more than $1 billion to the “Department of Community Safety,” a new agency that will “tak[e] a public health approach to safety.”

But what will his agenda look like in practice? Late last month, the mayor-elect released the roster of his transition team’s Committee on Community Safety, a 26-person group that will advise him on criminal-justice and related issues. The list contains several activists who are not only openly hostile to law enforcement but also reject the very concept of carceral punishment.
