Hasan Mohamed was blasted after he posted the menacing anti-ICE tirade on social media, where he vowed to shoot immigration agents the next time they show up in his Owatonna neighborhood.
Somali man in Minnesota claims that ICE showed up to near him, threatens to “pop” them the next time they show up.

Canada’s Superior Court judges are taking the federal government to the Federal Court , where one of the esteemed justices will rule on whether Ottawa owes all senior judges a $28,000 pay rise.
So, no conflict of interest there then.
More accurately, he or she will adjudicate on whether Ottawa behaved in a “constitutionally defective” manner when it ignored the recommendation of an independent commission to award a pay increase, on top of index-linked raises.
The judges’ association claims the case is not about the money — a clear indicator that it is absolutely about the money — but, rather, it is about protecting Canadian democracy.
Only the terminally online can turn Pantone’s mundane ‘colour of the year’ announcement into a race row
As I’ve long maintained, the single most pressing question of the 21st century is this: has social media driven millions of people stark-staring bonkers, or were millions of people always stark-staring bonkers but we just didn’t realise it until they had social media?
I can’t say for certain. But it does very much feel as if the online world is growing barmier by the day. And for proof, look at the reaction to Pantone announcing its “colour of the year”.
Canada is making an aggressive effort to attract highly-skilled researchers from around the world, including H1-B visa holders in the United States who are coming under growing pressure because of the Trump administration’s restrictive immigration policies and cuts to research funding.
The Canadian government on Tuesday said it would spend more than $1 billion over the next few years to attract and retain scientists from around the world, including those at major hospitals and universities.
It also said that in coming months it would create an “accelerated pathway” for U.S. H1-B visa holders. H1-B visas are issued to highly skilled people working for American companies and are concentrated in major industries that compete for global talent, such as technology and medicine.
H1-B visas in the USA are just another way to hire cheap labour and otherwise skirt immigration scrutiny.
JESSICA VAUGHAN: Consular officers in India issued ~200 H-1B visas a day that were 80-90% fraudulent. Fake credentials, fake degrees, bribes paid; It is a deliberate scheme to replace American workers!

Imagine bragging about this – The University of Toronto, Canada’s top academic institution and one of the world’s highest-ranked universities, lured several top humanities and social sciences professors from Ivy League schools during the year.
I tell you what – Democrats and Somalis are going to rue the day the Senate Dems forced the government into that extended shutdown. That was the tipping point, and just the extra bit of time needed to bring this extraordinary, biblical amount of waste, fraud, and abuse into the public sphere, where it had been floating at the edges for decades.
Everyone has been watching the Minnesota Somali scandals get deeper, more sordid, and, oh, dear God – more expensive than we ever thought possible.
As U.S. President Donald Trump sticks with his campaign of tariffs on imports from Canada, some American industries are accusing Canadian competitors of using cheap materials from China in ways that violate free trade rules and undercut U.S. companies.
The accusations emerged during recent public hearings in Washington into the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). During the hearings, leaders from a wide range of business sectors urged the Trump administration to renew the trade deal when it comes up for review in July.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Egypt and Iran, two Middle East nations which target gays and lesbians, have complained to FIFA over a World Cup soccer match in Seattle that is planned to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride.
Leaders in the nation’s soccer federations publicly rebuked the idea of playing the match June 26 at Seattle Stadium, which local organizers say will include a “once-in-a-lifetime moment to showcase and celebrate LGBTQIA+ communities in Washington.”

Just as the Liberals were announcing their budgetary plans to cut the size of government, a Vancouver-area researcher was granted $600,000 in federal monies to figure out how to ensure more African food is made available in Canada’s major cities to serve growing populations of African immigrants.
Just say no to bugs.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that aspects of the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy paper are “unacceptable” to Europeans.
Last week, the White House released its formal National Security Strategy paper, which criticised European Union nations for engaging in mass migration and censorship, which Washington warned would lead the continent towards “civilizational erasure”.
Pro-Palestinian activist Yves Engler barred from running for NDP leadership
OTTAWA – Self-described “agitator” Yves Engler says he has been denied entry into the NDP leadership race.
Engler says in a statement this morning he wants the party’s federal council to overturn a decision from the leadership vote committee to disqualify his candidacy.
NDP leadership rules say this committee will approve or reject candidates based on their ability to meet eligibility rules and demonstrate integrity and honesty.
When the woman’s phone began to ring one morning in June, she did not know that the news she would receive would hurtle her and her teenage daughter into a “tunnel” of medical appointments, tests — and fear.
On the other end of the line, she said, was the head of the fertility department at a Belgian clinic she had visited in 2011 to undergo fertility treatment, which at the time was not available to would-be single mothers in France. After her daughter was successfully conceived, she said, she had never heard from the clinic again.
Liberal MPs on the House justice committee backed a Bloc Québécois proposal to remove a religious exemption from Canada’s hate speech laws — after the suggestion initially appeared to halt the government’s anti-hate legislation.
The Criminal Code currently includes an exemption for hate speech, “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”
On Tuesday evening, the justice committee added a Bloc amendment to the Liberals’ Bill C-9 — dubbed the Combatting Hate Act — that would remove the religious exemption.
Start counting the number of attacks against Christians as opposed to Islam.
Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine will soon enter its fifth year. Mysterious incidents of so-called “hybrid warfare” are mounting in Europe, increasing tensions. And in the UK, military chiefs have warned we must prepare for war if we want to avoid it. But if the unthinkable happened, and war with Russia broke out, could the UK fight for more than just a few weeks?
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s last-minute trip to October’s Gaza peace summit in Egypt cost Canadian taxpayers more than $736,466 — more than three times higher than it would have been if the Royal Canadian Air Force had been able to supply a plane.
While the government chartered a Bombardier Global 5000 jet from the Chartright Air Group, in an answer tabled in the House of Commons, the Department of National Defence estimates using a government-owned Challenger aircraft would have cost $198,800.
