Inside Minneapolis’s ICE Watch Network
In less than a month, two “ICE watchers” have been shot and killed by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis. On January 24, a federal agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse. His death follows that of Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was killed on January 7.
Both Pretti and Good participated in “ICE watching,” an anti-immigration-enforcement tactic that can involve tracking ICE agents, filming arrests, and alerting other activists of enforcement actions. While participants frame ICE watching as a “community safety” measure, these tactics often place untrained civilians in direct, high-stakes confrontation with armed federal agents.

🚨 I can independently confirm that NO ARRESTS have been made as far-left radicals set up blockades and check drivers' license plates to identify suspected ICE vehicles.

The Urgent Need for the UK’s Muslim Rape Gang Inquiry and Lessons for the US
The United Kingdom’s grooming gangs scandal, recently cited by Elon Musk, serves as a warning to the United States as the nation deals with issues of sex trafficking and child exploitation due to immigration policies.
In 2025, Musk made nearly 200 posts, amplifying abuse allegations and paralleling U.S. concerns about exploitation and community influences.
On Monday, hearings began for U.K. Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe’s independent Rape Gang Inquiry. The inquiry is a crowdfunded investigation into the reported grooming, rape, and exploitation of up to one million vulnerable girls over five decades across the country.

Should floor-crossers resign? Sit as independents? Join the party they want? Nanos survey finds Canadians are split.
Canadians are virtually evenly split on how they believe MPs hoping to cross the floor should handle it, new data from Nanos Research finds.
According to the numbers, a third of Canadians — 33 per cent — believe MPs planning to cross the floor should resign their seat and trigger a byelection, running on the mandate of the party they hope to join.
‘Go Straight to Paradise’: Women’s Equality, Pakistan Style
The Army of Mohammed (Jaish-e-Mohammed — JeM), one of Pakistan’s too-many-to-count jihadist terrorist groups, recently launched its first-ever women’s wing.
The “Congregation of the Believing Women” (Jamaat-ul-Mominaat) was launched on October 9, 2025, and hosted by JeM’s training facility, “Center of Usman and Ali,” (Markaz Usman-o-Ali) in Bahawalpur, a city in the southeast of Pakistan’s Punjab Province.
Amy Hamm: How long before Canada has a suicide helpline (to help you commit suicide)?
The death of 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian by MAID on Dec. 30, 2025, is emblematic of what Canadians can expect to become commonplace in the coming years.
Vafaeian, who had diabetes and whose natural death was not foreseeable, found that Vancouver physician Dr. Ellen Wiebe was willing to end his life. The young man had been doctor shopping before he found her.
Behar Equates Don Lemon Storming Church to Press Documenting Nazi Concentration Camps
Finally back from a week-long unexplained absence, ABC co-host Joy Behar returned to The View as crazy as ever. Delivering her first public comments about the arrest of disgraced form CNN host Don Lemon, on Tuesday, Behar defended not only Lemon but the rioters who stormed the Cities Church in St. Paul Minnesota. She claimed they had a right to protest in the church and ludicrously equated Lemon being in the church to General Dwight D. Eisenhower bringing in journalists to document concentration camps and the Holocaust.
New federal grocery rebate will cost $12.4 billion, PBO estimates
Canadians have been dealing with sticker shock for years as grocery prices have shot up by more than 30 per cent since 2020, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada.
Last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a suite of affordability measures to help Canadian families who are struggling to cope with the rising cost of living. The flagship measure is the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.
We now know what that will cost. On Monday, the parliamentary budget officer announced that the federal government’s plan to increase the GST credit and offer a one-time payment to Canadians will cost Ottawa an estimated $12.4 billion over five years.
The Prince of Nigeria Grew Up: AI and Phishing Scams
Once upon a time, it was relatively easy to spot an email scam. They were flawed. Bad grammar, broken formatting, poor spelling and typos, and a sort of odd cadence often referred to as “Engrish” exposed them for what they were: attempts to extract money from “rich” Americans, most commonly by people outside America. Often the scams seemed reasonable, except when they weren’t, as with the famous Prince of Nigeria scam: send me a couple thousand dollars so I can release my $1.7 million account, and I’ll split it with you. And for a little while they worked, until people’s reason caught up with their greed.
U.S. envoy is making Canada’s F-35 decision a no-brainer
OTTAWA—Nobody likes a bully, and at his recent World Economic Forum speech in Davos, Switzerland, Prime Minister Mark Carney garnered international kudos in calling for middle powers to stand up to would-be super-power bullies.
Carney deliberately refrained from naming the United States in his brief address, but President Donald Trump was astute enough to know Carney’s words were aimed at him.
Grooming Gang Inquiry Victims‘ Panel Scrapped by Labour Government

Trump admin to withdraw 700 federal officers from Minnesota: Homan
The Trump administration will draw down 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota “effective immediately,” border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday.
After that partial withdrawal, around 2,000 federal agents will remain in the state — a roughly 25% reduction — with most concentrated in the Twin Cities area encompassing Minneapolis and St. Paul, Homan said at a press conference.
Homan announced the pullback after touting “unprecedented cooperation” between the federal government and state and local entities.
