DENVER — It’s been nearly two months since Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in her car in Minneapolis. Neither President Donald Trump nor any member of his administration has been in touch with Good’s family since, they told NBC News on Thursday. “There’s a reason that we hired our own investigators — to make sure that the truth is transparent and available, to make sure that this is really taken seriously and to make sure that we know what occurred,” Brent Ganger, Good’s brother, said.

Fox News is reporting that the coalition of anti-Trump nonprofits that have been leading the Anti-ICE protests notified its network to mobilize against Operation Epic Fury.They knew about the strikes even before they were announced, likely because they were notified by their Chinese Communist Party allies overseas.

When politics becomes scorched earth, it is the nation itself that burns. I was raised to believe that democracy came with duties as well as rights. You voted. You accepted the outcome. You argued your case, made your peace with defeat when it came, and waited for the next election. Politics was competitive, sometimes bruising, but it was not meant to be an existential threat. The opposition’s role was to hold the government to account, not to weaken the country for political gain. That older civic instinct now feels rather quaint. In theory, the idea of the “loyal opposition” remains...

In the warped universe of today’s Social Justice Warriors, Trump is Hitler. Racism is baked into our DNA and lurking around every corner, Nazis are hiding under every bed, white supremacists run the show in our major institutions, and any inconvenient facts that punch holes in this nonsense just prove how sneaky and deep-rooted the evil really is. The more they scream it from the rooftops, the more it solidifies as “truth” in their echo chambers. Their sealed-off media bubble keeps the illusion alive, sucking believers into an endless loop where everything gets twisted to fit the narrative, no matter...

We wrote recently about the ongoing effort by Marxists in the United States to raise money on behalf of the Communist government in Cuba. That effort continues. Meanwhile, the same folks, in league with a whole raft of other radical leftist groups, are also working on sending a “flotilla” to Havana’s aid. “A growing coalition of international organizations, including Progressive International, The People’s Forum, CODEPINK, and allied movements across the Americas and beyond is coming together to launch the Nuestra América Flotilla to Cuba in March, 2026, a humanitarian and solidarity mission to the island at a moment of deep...

Susan Rice has a message for corporate America, and it sounds a lot like a threat. Obama’s scandal-plagued former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations sat down with former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara on his podcast Stay Tuned and laid out what Democrats have in store for businesses, law firms, universities, and media companies that have sought to accommodate the Trump administration. It was a disturbing promise of government retribution. Rice wasted no time getting to the point. "It's not gonna end well for them,” she promised. “For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act...

Peace officers, military personnel and prosecutors in recent years have faced a growing threat from the practice known as “doxxing” in which their personal, private information is obtained, sometimes through legal means and sometimes illegally, and spread online via a variety of social media. In most cases the information posted online has included home addresses, obviously putting law enforcement and military personnel, and their families, at great risk.Some states, particularly Alabama, have moved to protect America’s heroes with legislation outlawing the practice and imposing penalties on those who participate in the practice.There is also a federal statute to protect federal...

A federal judge has declared a mistrial in the high‑profile case accusing nine North Texans of attacking the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on the Fourth of July, after determining that a defense attorney’s shirt could improperly influence potential jurors. The mistrial was issued Tuesday during jury selection, after Judge Mark Pittman noticed that defendant Maricela Rueda's defense attorney, MarQuetta Clayton, was wearing a T‑shirt under her jacket with images tied to the civil rights era beneath her jacket. Clayton later exited the courthouse with the shirt turned inside out, which had depicted images of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Shirley...

The democrat party is old. It is a fact. Nancy Pelosi is 85 and although she is retired she still talks a lot and clearly wields some clout when not seeming drunk. Chuck Schumer is 75 years old and more and more frail in appearance. At 78 Jerry Nadler routinely falls asleep in hearings. Barack Obama says the democrat party is just too old. So, who comes next? Hakeem JeffriesHakeem Jeffries has a weird sounding voice. That might be why people have never really taken to him, and he cannot establish a gravitas about himself. I can't take him seriously....

Investigators are reviewing body-camera videos from immigration agents in the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.Homeland Security investigators have videos recorded by cameras worn by multiple agents, department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” - a tribute and act of artistic dissent - at the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Memorial. The piece honored Renée Good and Alex Pretti. It was created by the advocacy arm of Hungryman Productions, led by Bryan Buckley, a two-time Academy Award nominated director, writer, and activist, as well as the director, writer and producer of the upcoming Fyre Fest the Musical, and choreographer Matthew Steffens, part of multiple Tony Award nominated productions. The troop consisted of dancers from multiple Broadway shows including Hamilton, MJ & Wicked, along with several Kennedy...

“But let’s not miss the fact that we have coordinated, well-funded, and I think insurgencies or terrorist organizations, however you want to call it, literally trying to prevent legal laws from being enforced in the United States.”U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott testifying before Congress on February 10, 2026. The man speaks truth.The mainstream media continues to push the narrative that all we are seeing are “peaceful protests”. Most conservative commentators remain content to ridicule participants in the ongoing anti – ICE actions around the country and dismiss them with derogatory comments and sarcasm. No one, it...

Acting ICE director Todd Lyons says newly reviewed video evidence contradicts officers' sworn testimony about January confrontation.

The violent deaths linked to the group known as Zizians stopped at six a year ago, after a U.S. border agent was killed and three members were arrested on trespassing and gun charges in the woods of western Maryland. Seven of the group’s members are jailed in three states, all awaiting trial.

The end of the Trump administration's Minnesota operation comes as immigration hawks have pushed Trump officials to avoid caving to Democratic policy demands. The Trump administration’s decision to end its immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis could undermine Democrats’ messaging leverage on the eve of an expected partial government shutdown.By pulling out of Minneapolis — the epicenter of the left’s fight to overhaul federal immigration enforcement after federal agents killed two American citizens — administration officials and allies argue that Democrats will lose political steam as attention gradually fades from the administration’s aggressive enforcement actions.“I know everyone was concerned about ICE’s...

The State Department has just reported to Congress that the far left group ‘Code Pink’ is linked to the Chinese Communist Party. This should come as a surprise to no one. Code Pink began making a nuisance of themselves during the presidency of George W. Bush. They portrayed themselves as an anti-war group. Of course, once Obama became president and continued most of Bush’s foreign policy and the wars, they became curiously silent. Some of them were even guests at Obama’s inauguration. Now that Trump, a Republican, is president again, they are back to their old tactics of showing up...

An anti-ICE agitator has been found guilty of committing a series of federal criminal offenses at the ICE facility in Portland last summer. David Pearl, 35, of Portland, Oregon, was convicted Tuesday for creating a disturbance at the ICE facility and failing to obey a lawful order. He was found guilty during a four-hour bench trial before US District Court Judge Jolie A. Russo. Pearl has been sentenced to one year of probation and must complete 10 hours of community service. He is the first of dozens of protesters to take his case to trial over alleged offenses committed at...

After five hours of printing T-shirts, Henry Reyes’ arms got tired. All day, a steady stream of locals filed into Fleetwood Fine Goods, the small shop in the Inner Richmond where Reyes works. They came with T-shirts, crop tops and bandanas in their hands. One by one, Reyes laid the garments out on the store’s screen printing press, squeezed paint onto a screen and, applying force with his arms, dragged a rubber squeegee across it. When he was done, the words “F—K ICE” were printed in bold capital letters.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are detaining and arresting “legal observers” using their vehicles to follow agents during federal immigration enforcement operations. ICE is reportedly detaining and arresting thousands of Minnesota protestors under Title 18, Section 111 of the US Code, which prohibits citizens from interfering with a federal officer conducting official duties, according to Reuters. A recent trend began amongst protestors to follow ICE agents in their vehicles as “legal observers” of federal law enforcement operations following the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January. “When agitators willingly involve themselves and...

Foreign-born Rep. Shri Thanedar openly threatened to prosecute his political enemies this week — a reminder of what Democrats plan to do if they get power back. During a committee hearing Tuesday, Thanedar — struggling to speak English — threatened to prosecute Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott when President Donald Trump is out of office. “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year,” Thanedar threatened. “Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to...
