When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn't the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there's plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.In the last year, ICE and CBP agents have been involved in more than 100 such incidents.There have been more than 100 vehicular ramming incidents targeting ICE and CPB agents in the last year. More than 100.For example, in October in Chicago, an ICE officer was hit by a car and dragged under...

A federal court has sided with a Christian ministry seeking to ensure it has the right to hire only employees who agree to abide by its religious beliefs, ordering the state of Washington not to enforce a nondiscrimination law against the organization. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion Tuesday, ruling that Union Gospel Mission of Yakima has the right to hire employees who align with the organization’s religious beliefs. The Christian ministry sued the state's attorney general and the Washington State Human Rights Commission, alleging that the Washington Law Against Discrimination...

Night show host Jimmy Kimmel sent a message to President Donald Trump following the ICE shooting of a 37-year-old unarmed woman in Minneapolis Wednesday evening. The incident has sparked outrage online, and Kimmel hit back against Trump’s claim that ICE killed the woman in self defense. "They were there under the guise of protecting us, and of course, our president weighed in with compassion," Kimmel said sarcastically before reading Trump’s comments on the matter. "I have just viewed the clip of the event… It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the...

VIDEOWatch the amazing change in attitude of Chavista thug Diosdado Cabello before and after the commie dictator of Venezuela was plucked out of that country in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026. First we see Diosdado on his weekly TV show, "Con El Mazo Dando" (Going At It With a Club) BEFORE the Trump force arrived briefly in Venezuela when Cabello was full of happy piss and vinegar enjoying himself along with his live Commie audience. Later we see a very different Diosado Cabello after the incursion in which poor leader of the violent Colectivos looks like a...

On Wednesday, an anti-ICE protester thought it would be a good idea to attempt to run over ICE agents in Minneapolis. She learned the hard way that attacking a federal law enforcement officer is not a good idea, and officers wound up shooting and killing her. Ever since, the left has been gaslighting the public, claiming that the ICE agent shot her without provocation, that he wasn’t in front of the car when she hit the gas, that she was just turning her vehicle when she was shot, and that she wasn’t even involved in the anti-ICE protests. An eyewitness...

Many AT readers will be aware that my judgment can be harsh regarding police-involved homicides and shootings. The reasons for that are simple: cops represent authority, and do so while bearing firearms. That being the case, the power dynamic is always tilted in the direction of law enforcement. So they had better have their ducks lined up perfectly in cases where things go south. That understood, it seems clear to me that Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis is completely justified given the circumstances. I would go so far as to say that the circumstances here override any particular details of...

n the wake of an ICE shooting that killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, academics have joined the chorus of left-wing radicals seeking to abolish the federal law enforcement agency. "Abolishing ICE is the moderate position," said Victor Ray, an associate professor of sociology, criminology and African American studies at the University of Iowa. In another social media post, Ray referred to the shooting, which killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, as a "murder." Nobody has been charged with murder in the case.

Tim Allen can’t be canceled, and he knows it. You can’t ostracize Tim from Tool Time, nor can you banish Santa Claus. Allen knows his range, he stays in his lane, and he’s great at it. The man will always find work, and he seems to have a knack for landing on hit shows, Last Man Standing being his latest, where he plays the father of three daughters, navigating family life with that of being the head of marketing for a Cabela ’s-like store in Colorado. Yes, it’s a conservative-ish show. While a guest on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast,...

Conan O’Brien warned comedians giving in to their anger at President Donald Trump that they are being “co-opted” and not making much of a difference. In a conversation with Oxford Union on Tuesday, O’Brien noted he often hears people say how “great” Trump must be for comedians. The one-time Tonight Show host argued the opposite, saying “talking crazy” is part of Trump’s brand and it makes it difficult to structure satire around it. O’Brien cited Trump’s construction of a White House ballroom as something sketch comedy writers would likely come up with to mock Trump — except it’s reality. “Comedy...

A lot of what we cover here at the Media Research Center consists of bias by omission. Specifically, when media outlets omit narrative-unfriendly stories in their entirety, or omit selected details from within those stories that are inconvenient to liberal narrative. Tonight on NBC Nightly News, we saw the exact opposite.

A prosecutor previously criticized for targeting law enforcement is asking to lead a probe into a shooting by an immigration agent in Minnesota. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Wednesday that she made the demand after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a driver who drove toward him during anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Conservatives blasted Moriarty over the past year for giving no jail time to a Somali rapist and a Tesla vandal and for attempting to prosecute a state trooper who shot a belligerent felon. We’re aware of the shooting at 34th and Portland. We’ve been...

Spain is ready to send troops to Palestine for peacekeeping “when the opportunity presents itself,” just as it is willing to deploy forces to Ukraine, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Thursday. “I will propose to parliament, when the opportunity presents itself, that we send peacekeeping troops to Palestine, once we can see how to advance this task of pacification,” he told a gathering of Spanish ambassadors in Madrid. “Of course, we have not forgotten Palestine and the Gaza Strip… Spain must actively participate in rebuilding hope in Palestine. The situation there remains intolerable.” …

Leftist groups quickly mobilized to protest Wednesday after a woman was fatally shot during an incident involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis.Socialist, communist, “climate change,” anti-Israel, and groups aligned with the Democrat Party appeared to coordinate protests online and urge people to hit the streets, Fox News reported.According to Brandy Shufutinsky, director of the Education and National Security Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, “It’s the same network of people that have thousands of Americans blocking the streets, waving communist and terrorist flags and attacking law enforcement and innocents. They are stoking the grievance...

Did Obama really deport more people than Trump? On the surface, the answer is yes. During his two terms in office from 2009 to 2017, Barack Obama’s administration oversaw roughly 2.7–3.2 million deportations (removals and returns), making him, by some measures, the president with the highest total deportations in modern US history. Since Obama’s era included a higher share of border returns counted as deportations, his total figures appear higher even though the populations targeted were different. Under Trump, enforcement has increasingly focused on interior arrests and removals but these often lag in official numbers due to legal backlogs and...

Afederal judge on Thursday disqualified the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York and blocked the subpoenas his office issued against New York Attorney General Letitia James. John Sarcone III, the judge ruled, was illegally serving in the post, Politico reported. The decision from the Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield marked the latest such opinion over controversial Trump appointees to U.S. Attorney positions. “When the Executive branch of government skirts restraints put in place by Congress and then uses that power to subject political adversaries to criminal investigations... it acts without lawful authority," Schofield wrote. Sarcone had...

The U.S. Department of Transportation is proposing a ban on traffic safety cameras in Washington, D.C. The move could impact public safety programs and cost the District millions in revenue. D.C. leaders and advocates are pushing back, calling the proposal federal overreach. The proposal would outlaw speed, red light and stop sign cameras throughout the city as part of the upcoming surface transportation bill, which Congress is aiming to pass this year.

WASHINGTON — The Senate fired a warning shot at President Donald Trump, voting Thursday to advance a bipartisan resolution to block him from using military force “within or against Venezuela” unless he gets prior approval from Congress. The vote of 52-47 on the war powers measure came after an unsuccessful plea by Republican leaders to sink it and preserve Trump’s authority, as he threatens a “second wave” of attacks on Venezuela. Trump has declared that the U.S. would “run” the country temporarily after he ordered a military operation last week to capture and extradite leader Nicolás Maduro. Five Republicans joined...

It has been disappointing but not entirely surprising to see the widespread hysteria in Europe in support of the illegitimate Maduro gangster regime in Venezuela, and the new round of anxiety about a possible US military seizure of Greenland. The pedantic fuss-budgetary about the legality of the American action in Venezuela is nonsense. Former President Maduro and his wife were authentically indicted in New York during the Biden administration as drug traffickers intimately involved in illegally bringing into the United States large quantities of lethal narcotics. President Trump is correct in his conclusion that this traffic caused the death of...

Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state. "Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening. Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
