Media Claim ICE ‘Detains‘ Child in Minnesota After Illegal-Migrant Father Arrested

ICE officers protected a single young child after the illegal-migrant father was arrested but establishment media outlets are claiming the sheltered child was “detained.”

“ICE detains 5-year-old Minnesota boy; school leader says agents used him as ‘bait,’” said the NPR headline.

“Preschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says,” claimed the Star Tribune newspaper in Minnesota.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start

Developments in Minnesota closely mirror a scenario explored in a 2024 exercise conducted at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, which I direct

Since January 6, roughly 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minnesota under the pretext of responding to a fraud investigation. In practice, these largely untrained and undisciplined federal agents have been terrorizing Minneapolis residents through illegal and excessive uses of force – often against US citizens – prompting a federal judge to attempt to place limits on the agency’s actions. The Trump administration is encouraging the lawlessness by announcing “absolute immunity” for ICE agents. But if the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, does not heed the court ruling, the consequences may be nothing short of civil war.


A civil war to protect criminal aliens is a lefty wish dream.

Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says

No, Canada is not selling out to Beijing

Well, that got their attention. Since the Prime Minister’s visit to China, the American media – and social media – have been filled with expressions of shock and amazement.

For critics of Donald Trump, it was payback for his bullying and abusive treatment of America’s nearest neighbour and historic ally. For the President’s supporters, it was a sign of Canadian perfidy, if not grounds for invasion. Canada will “surely regret” gives you the flavour of it.

Why this Canadian is deputy commanding general of U.S. troops in Alaska that could be sent to Minneapolis

Reports that U.S. troops based in Alaska are being readied for deployment to the streets of Minneapolis amid a turbulent immigration crackdown there could put a Canadian officer in a sticky situation. Brig. Gen. Robert McBride is those soldiers’ deputy commanding officer.

 

McBride was seconded to the U.S. 11th Airborne Division in 2023, replacing another Canadian, Brig. Gen. Louis Lapointe, as deputy commanding general of operations.

Look at that! CAF’s Matriarchy banished him to Alaska!

Motor Mouth: Do we really want to get into bed with Chinese EVs?

This last December, says Autocar magazine, one in five new cars registered in the United Kingdom was from a Chinese brand. Oh, officially Chinese automakers’ share of the 2025 British market was 9.7%, but the real eye-opener, says Nick Gibbs, the magazine’s business correspondent, was the 18.2% of the market they captured in December. And, just so we’re on the same page, that’s one-in-five of all cars sold, not just the battery-powered segment. In fact, they own 29% of Britain’s EV market, up 5% from last year. Yes, rather Tesla-like numbers.
