Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a small Oregon city turned violent on Friday night, prompting President Donald Trump to threaten to send more manpower to protect federal property around the country. The protest in Eugene, a city roughly 110 miles south of Portland, was part of yesterday's 'National Shutdown,' meant to be a nationwide rallying cry to demand ICE leave cities. In Eugene, protesters gathered outside a federal building at around noon, with many of them holding signs showing their distaste for the Trump administration's immigration enforcement strategies. As day turned into night, federal officers began intermittently deploying...

Philadelphia’s top prosecutor, a George Soros-backed district attorney, is facing scrutiny and backlash after vowing to "hunt" down federal immigration agents as city leaders move to curb ICE operations. Speaking during a morning event outside City Hall tied to newly unveiled "ICE OUT" legislation, District Attorney Larry Krasner sharply criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. "This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are," Krasner said. "In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will...

After introducing himself, Forhan walks listeners through what he specifically means when he says, “I am going...

A Minnesota-based nonprofit focused on aiding Somalis and other East Africans is hiring someone to follow immigration agents and prevent them from making arrests. The Awood Center, named after the Somali word for “power,” released a job posting on Facebook Jan. 14 seeking an employee to assist in “rapid response,” a term activists use to describe following or recording suspected Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in-person. The group’s rapid response program will “reach hundreds of Somali residents within days,” “prevent unlawful or coercive detentions” and conduct outreach at relevant facilities such as mosques, the job posting says. The Awood...

U.S. Sen Ted Cruz is urging the Trump administration to rethink its handling of the recent shooting of protestors by Immigration and Customers Enforcement officers in Minnesota. While Cruz praised the administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, he is taking issue with labelling victims Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. "What I think the administration could do better is, is the tone with which they're describing this," he said on his podcast Verdict Monday. "We took out a violent terrorist, hurray. And the problem is, particularly for someone not paying attention, if you're being told this is a mom...

While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where leftist agitators screamed obscenities and threatened young Christian families as they left Sunday services.

Christ Church in D.C. is an offshoot of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which...

An Antifa-affiliated website is on local and federal law enforcement’s radar after years of promoting anarchistic crimes and doxxing. The “Rose City Counter-Info” blog, focused mainly on Portland, Oregon, hosts numerous posts purporting to show immigration agents’ home addresses, advocating for attacks on law enforcement infrastructure and taking credit for crimes, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis. The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) told the DCNF that it is “aware” of the site and similar ones, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) twice promised consequences for the doxxing in recent months. Rose City Counter-Info promotes activism and ideological...

Foundation. “It’s time to take the battle to the actual people responsible for kidnapping, disappearing, and shooting our neighbors,” reads the post. “Behind the masks, ICE agents have names and addresses, and some of them feel comfortable enough to live in the same city they terrorize on a daily basis.”

The Democrats are desperate to maintain the narrative that Renee Good was an innocent woman gunned down by a fascist ICE agent. We all know it's not true, and we've all seen the multiple videos from different angles showing Good hit that ICE agent with her vehicle. But that's not stopping the Democrats from scraping the bottom of the barrel for support, and that includes getting a statement from Casey Anthony, the Florida mom accused and later acquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Anthony was convicted of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement, but was credited...

A non-binary researcher at the University of Washington is under investigation after she allegedly called for conservatives to be assassinated like Charlie Kirk in disturbing social media posts.

Jamie Pedersen refusing to acknowledge biological advantages men have over women in sport, Fox News Digital reported. “May there be Tyler Robinsons for you all,” Maughan wrote in the comment, in response to the clip, in...

The whistle blows in short bursts: PHWEEE! PHWEEE! PHWEEE! PHWEEE! Code: ICE is nearby. Then comes the long blast: PHWEEEEEEEEEEE! Code: ICE has taken someone. These are the codes immigrant rapid responders are using to alert their neighbors and co-workers to ICE sightings and kidnappings. Federal agents are armed with military-style weapons. Up against them, everyday people have whistles, boundless courage, and the acronym S.A.L.U.T.E. for information to gather: the size of deployments of federal agents, the actions they are taking, the specific location, the uniforms they are wearing, the time, and the equipment, or type of weapons. At trainings...

The family of Renee Nicole Good has received more than $1.5 million in donations after she was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

She died doing what was right,” a...
