Free Republic

@SenRandPaul Just read the minibus Congress plans to pass this year. An unbelievable over $5 billion is going toward refugee welfare programs. I am going to fight like hell to get this removed. In the meantime, call your Senators and tell them to vote NO, and to put an end to the refugee rip-off.

A "racial equity" and "restorative justice" nonprofit funded by Minnesota taxpayers is calling for donations to a new bail fund that’s helping free anti-ICE agitators and illegal immigrants detained in Minneapolis. The Legal Rights Center, which Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison led for five years, is promoting the People’s Bail Fund of Minnesota through Know Your Rights MN, a Legal Rights Center project that provides legal information and resources for activists. The project’s website was updated Thursday to include a link to the bail fund, which only secured nonprofit status last week and is actively "accepting requests for ICE protest...

FLASHBACK: Bill Clinton in 1995: “Whether they're guilty or innocent of crimes, they are still here illegally and should be sent out of the country… Our plan will triple the number of deportable aliens.”

Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE. Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the crime. Parishioners and children were terrified as leftists, led by BLM activist Nikema Armstrong shouted down the pastor. WATCH: Don Lemon Livestreams as Anti- ICE Protestors Storm Church in St. Paul The Justice Department is currently investigating for potential violations of the federal FACE Act. “The FACE Act is a long-standing federal statute that prohibits force, threats, obstruction, any kind of interference with a...

A family in Long Beach said it has left the home and community behind as it feared the Trump administration’s immigration policies would eventually catch up with its family member. The Burgueno family, made up of a U.S. citizen matriarch, her undocumented husband and their teenage son, said Monday that it has taken the final steps to self-deport. “We crossed the border in Otay,” Sonia Burgueno told NBC Los Angeles at the U.S.-Mexico border Monday. “We packed as much as we could.” Calling it the hardest decision her family has ever made, Sonia Burgueno had deep roots in Long Beach:...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that federal authorities have arrested more than 10,000 “criminal illegal aliens” in Minneapolis. She added that investigators have opened what she described as sweeping fraud probes totaling at least $19 billion, sharpening her criticism of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for what she called a failure to protect public safety. In a statement, Noem said Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officers carried out the arrests and that about 3,000 were made in the past six weeks.

🚨NEW INDICTMENT: Two pedophile Illegal Aliens from El Salvador drugged and intoxicated a child in Virginia, carried her away, stripped her naked, took turns raping her and filmed it. INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT. NOW.

Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it. Homan is the Washington bureaucrat in charge of rounding up, detaining and kicking illegal immigrants out of the country. As Americans fight over whether the next president should build a wall on the Mexico border to keep migrants out or protect millions of them from deportation, Homan is actually hunting undocumented immigrants down right now, setting strategy for 8,000 officers on the front lines. He was honored last week with the government’s highest civil service award, bestowed on federal leaders whose work gets “extraordinary” results. According to his bosses at...

Allies to President Trump are furious with acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan for how they say he threw his boss and department officials under the bus in a recent interview. “At a time when President Trump is facing the most partisan attacks of his administration, one of his own Cabinet-level officials aired his grievances with the president in the court of public opinion,” said Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council. “Regardless of your readers' political leanings: Left, right, or in the middle, the airing of grievances by a Cabinet-level official must be considered dishonest and unforgivable.”...

OAKLAND, Calif. - A proposal to create "ICE-free zones" within Alameda County in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions, is heading for a vote before the full Board of Supervisors. The Alameda County Together For All ad hoc committee heard several hours of testimony and public comment on Thursday, before the two committee members Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas and Supervisor Elisa Marquez voted to forward the proposal to the board. At the meeting What they're saying: At the meeting, the committee chair Fortunato Bas, Alameda County Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson, and Public Defender Brendon...

After three hours of parsing American case law, for once I share Donald Trump’s exasperation. See, many a naif, including yours truly three hours ago, would have thought the Democrats’ “sanctuary cities” unconstitutional. A sanctuary city instructs its local police force to cease all co-operation with federal immigration agents. The constitution’s supremacy clause dictates that federal law overrules local law, just as rock crushes scissors in the hand game. For subjurisdictions to offer refuge from big meanie federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the aptly cold-hearted sounding ICE) should not, legally, be possible.It’s possible. The work-around is the 10th Amendment’s “anti-commandeering...

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) revealed that he was going to be introducing a bill that would abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming that ICE was “beyond reform.”

[Assembly Paul Kanitra rips these psychotic bills (A6308: A6309: A6310) to protect illegals from deportation.]

“Squad’ Rep. Ilhan Omar implored the public to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and blasted the Trump administration for making judgments about the shooting of Renee Good before an investigation into it. “It is really important for Americans to record, to create the level of accountability and transparency that we need,” the far-left Minnesota congresswoman told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “What we’ve seen in Minneapolis is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out of their cars, these are unmarked cars, oftentimes they’re wearing a mask, they’re approaching, running towards cars ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who shot Good after she...

Yesterday, federal authorities released mugshots of dozens of individuals taken into custody during a major ICE enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Rapists. Murderers. Sexual predators. Violent offenders. These were not traffic violators or people who simply overstayed a visa. These were hardened criminals with records that made them priorities for removal because their continued presence posed a clear danger to public safety. And yet, that reality has been almost entirely buried beneath a single, emotionally charged narrative. The national media has chosen to focus nearly exclusively on the fatal shooting of Renée Good during that same enforcement operation — portraying her...

Authorities have arrested 54 individuals in New York under Operation Salvo, an immigrant enforcement operation that was launched in July 2025 following the shooting of a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement on Jan. 9. “Those arrested are from violent transnational gangs, including members of the Trinitarios, who, in addition to the July shooting of the off-duty CBP officer, are responsible for: weapons trafficking, human smuggling, narcotics distribution, armed robberies, and previous violent attacks across New York City,” DHS said. The unnamed officer survived the attack. “Roughly 60 percent of...

Here’s a clear, sourced summary of the organizations and groups identified as leading or involved in the Minneapolis “ICE resistance” movement (largely in response to federal ICE enforcement actions and the fatal shooting of a local activist): ⸻ 1) Indivisible Twin Cities • A local chapter of the national Indivisible Project — a progressive activist network originally formed after the 2016 election. • Reportedly a key organizer of anti-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, including resistance to enforcement actions and broader calls to end ICE operations locally.  2) ICE Watch / Minnesota ICE Watch • A local activist network focused on...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 35-year-old Chinese national was charged this week with taking pictures of B-2 bombers and other “vital military installations” at Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB) back in December, according to federal court documents. According to court documents, Wu admitted to investigators that he had taken videos of the B-2 bomber, as well as Whiteman’s perimeter fencing, gate and military equipment. He then showed investigators his phone and the photos he had taken. Further in the court documents, Wu is described as a Chinese national who illegally entered the country on June 22, 2023, near Nogales, Arizona....

In response to the crimes being committed in Minnesota by immigrants, the Trump administration has ordered 2,000 federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to conduct a 30-day crackdown in the Twin Cities area. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) said "while Gov. Walz and I might very well end up as rival contenders for the 2028 Democratic nomination for president, this intrusion on state sovereignty is unwarranted. Tim is a man of character, strength, and compassion. The fact that he has suspended his bid for reelection so he can focus on finding and prosecuting the daycare fraud...

BREAKING: New Footage of a full 3 minutes on the road before Renee Good’s final moments. She’s lucky she didn’t get hit by another car. Also, Some Very Insightful Takes Her name was Renee Good. She was from Colorado, not Minnesota. She was also a mother. WAS. She left her kids to protest ICE. Was she was a paid protestor? Needless to say, Liberals are plenty upset and protesting. Meanwhile, conservatives and many others stand with the ICE agent.
