Minnesota’s Post-Assimilation RealityOur country requires a common culture.What is unfolding in Minnesota cannot be understood without first confronting a difficult truth: some cultures arrive intact. They do not dissolve on contact with modern society, nor do they gently adapt—they replicate.Somali society is organized around the clan. Loyalty is not abstract, nor is it civic. It is biological and binding. The individual exists only insofar as he serves the group. Protection, marriage, honor, silence, and punishment are governed by this code. Obligations flow inward, sanctions flow downward. The clan precedes the individual and outlives him.This structure is pre-modern, but it is...

President Donald Trump should “calm” the escalating Minneapolis battle over migration by allowing states to import a new sub-citizen category of cheap foreign workers for U.S. jobs, says Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt. “We have to stop politicizing this [fight over immigration], we need real solutions on immigration reform,” Stitt told CNN on Sunday, adding: “And I believe that I’ve got a great solution that we should give the states the authority to do workforce permits.” He seemed to argue state-run immigration would end partisan fights over illegal migration: We have to enforce federal laws, but we need to know...

The international attention given to the Denmark Controversy (not the subject of this article) is an opportunity to look at Danish immigration policies. Denmark has some of the toughest immigration policies in the Western world — arguably the best, with the exception of the Visegrad countries, which don’t have much immigration to begin with. Consider this: Mette Frederiksen, current prime minister of Denmark, is not a right-winger, but a member of the center-left Social Democrat party (Socialdemokratiet) . Nevertheless, her party was elected in 2019 on a platform which included stricter immigration policies. In January of 2021, Prime Minister Frederiksen...

Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer spoke out against the anti-ICE agitators in his state. Unrest erupted in and around Minneapolis on Saturday after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot one of the agitators. Brewer called out the state's liberal leadership for inciting the unrest, arguing the Democrats are opposed to ICE because the agency is "deporting their voters." "We’re deporting their voters. That’s part of what’s happening and it’s blowing up their whole plan," Brewer told Fox News Digital. "You can’t allow people to come into your country who don’t carry the same...

President Donald Trump took a shot at Somalia and claimed that the investigations Minnesota faces into alleged fraud schemes are a reminder that the West cannot allow mass migration from "failed" societies. Minnesota has encountered heightened scrutiny in recent months as the state faces investigations into multiple alleged fraud schemes plaguing the state’s social services system. The majority of those charged are part of Minnesota’s Somali population, and Trump unveiled plans in November 2025 to end the temporary protected status for Somali migrants in Minnesota that offers protections against deportation. "The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot...

Fake asylum claims for illegals is a multibillion industry funded by taxpayers (via NGOs). Virtually 100% of illegals arrested in the interior will file fake asylum claims. This in turn creates permanent employment and income for the left’s most extreme and radicalized attorneys.

President Joe Biden is ready to warn Vladimir Putin during a video call Tuesday that Russia will face economy-jarring sanctions if it invades neighboring Ukraine as the U.S. president seeks a diplomatic solution to deal with the tens of thousands of Russian troops massed near the Ukraine border. Biden aims to make clear that his administration stands ready to take actions against the Kremlin that would exact “a very real cost” on the Russian economy, according to White House officials. Putin, for his part, is expected to demand guarantees from Biden that the NATO military alliance will never expand to...

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.”

In his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, bestselling investigative author and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer documents that jihadist leaders — led by the Muslim Brotherhood and aligned Islamist movements operating both overseas and inside the United States — have long treated mass migration, now weaponized through the exploitation of modern immigration systems, not as a humanitarian phenomenon but as a deliberate strategy of conquest meant to penetrate, subvert, and ultimately remake the United States from within. Schweizer grounds that conclusion in the movements’ own doctrine, tracing the...

More than 10,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Minneapolis since the start of the second Trump administration, with 3,000 cuffed in the last six weeks alone, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday. “PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS!” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem proclaimed in a post on X. Those arrested, Noem said, “were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals.” Frey raised eyebrows on Sunday when he compared ICE’s immigration crackdown in his city to an “invasion” by the federal...

Not so long ago, Sweden used to be leftists’ favorite example of effective government: It had a generous welfare system, boasted a highly educated population, and just seemed a little classier and cleaner than most parts of the United States. True, it then had a small, homogenous population of law-abiding, productive citizens, but most admirers conveniently ignored this key detail. In more recent years, far fewer people mention Sweden. If anyone mentions the country, it is usually to cite their soaring crime rates and terrorist attacks and the obvious connection with Sweden’s large number of unassimilated migrants from the Third...

Either the federal government exercises authority over immigration enforcement or the state of Minnesota does. It has been disconcerting to watch Minnesota governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey go out of their way to defend not only the violent actions of illegal aliens residing in their state but also the criminal behavior of citizens who endanger the lives of law enforcement officers and everyone around them by obstructing necessary arrests. The Department of Homeland Security has been spectacularly transparent about the targets of its operations in the North Star State. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are going after...

Investigative author Peter Schweizer alleges the Mexican government is operating a coordinated influence effort inside the United States, using diplomatic missions, education programs and migrant outreach initiatives in ways he argues go far beyond traditional diplomacy. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Schweizer said his forthcoming book, “The Invisible Coup,” available Tuesday, documents what he describes as “weaponized immigration,” a strategy he claims Mexican officials view as a means to exert political leverage inside the U.S. “Foreign powers are using migration as a weapon to undermine American sovereignty,” Schweizer said. “Mexico is a clear example of this.” Schweizer pointed...

WICHITA, Kan. — The Wichita Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred Thursday night in east Wichita during a reported home invasion robbery. On Jan. 15, 2026, at about 7:30 p.m., officers assigned to Patrol East heard several gunshots and then received a Gunshot Detection System (GSD) alert in the 5300 block of E. Funston. Officers arrived before 911 calls came in. When officers arrived, they found a 22-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers began life-saving measures until Sedgwick County EMS arrived. EMS transported the man to a local hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition....

Plans to house 70 asylum seekers next to a medical centre in the heart of a Welsh village have sparked uproar. Police officers kept watch and patrolled Rhosllanerchrugog, near Wrexham, today as around 500 locals queued for the packed public meeting. In the end so many people arrived that the event had to be held outdoors. Many say the former sheltered housing should instead be used by the under-pressure NHS to relieve bed-blocking in hospitals. They also fear that if the proposal goes ahead, it could house single men about whose backgrounds they know nothing, leaving them feeling unsafe in...

Nicholas Kristof has a column today about China's desire to seize Taiwan and what it might actually do to make that happen. The column opens with a scenario in which China goes all in on a military invasion of the island, including some kind of attack on nearby US bases as a way to hinder our response. But Kristof and the people he's spoken with (he's in Taipei at the moment) don't think that's the most likely scenario.The more likely scenario is going to be something like what China did with Hong Kong. Not an invasion, exactly, but a gradual...

Just five days before the election of 2008, which would catapult him into the presidency, candidate Barack Obama gave a speech in which he made what is now one of his infamous statements: “We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” In typical fashion, the press was too busy making goo-goo eyes at Obama to parse out what he meant by that statement, much less ask why a “fundamental transformation” of America would be necessary or desirable. Bestselling author and commentator Mark Levin asked what is perhaps the most salient question when he said,...

The State Department has announced a sweeping pause on immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries, effective January 21. This decision comes as the administration ramps up efforts to enforce long-standing rules against admitting individuals likely to depend on public benefits. Officials cite the need to overhaul screening processes that have allowed potential abusers of taxpayer-funded programs to slip through in the past. *** The affected nations include Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, and Yemen, among others. Consular officers have been directed to deny visas under existing law, with only narrow exceptions after thorough public...

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the Massachusetts-based Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood last month, issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday preventing the Department of Homeland Security from revoking the legal status of tens of thousands of foreigners. The Trump administration announced last month that it was terminating all categorical family reunification parole programs and corresponding work authorization for aliens from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras as well as for their immediate family members, effective Dec. 15. Per the announcement, the "temporary parole period of aliens who...
