A federal jury on Wednesday convicted an undocumented immigrant of dragging a federal immigration agent in his vehicle in June, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. RELATED: 39-year-old facing federal charges after dragging ICE officer 300 feet in his car Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, 40, was convicted on one count of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon, causing bodily injury. Federal agents tried to arrest Munoz-Guatemala on an immigration order on June 17. Court documents note he was convicted of sexually abusing a minor in 2022. Munoz-Guatemala was “uncooperative and refused to...

The ICE agent who opened fire in Minneapolis Wednesday was dragged 100 yards by an illegal migrant in Minnesota last June after his arm was trapped inside the vehicle during a traffic stop, The Post can reveal. The attack on the officer, whom The Post is not naming, happened June 17 in Bloomington, Minnesota, exactly a month after embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz labeled ICE agents “modern-day Gestapo” while speaking at a University of Minnesota Law School graduation in May. ICE agents conducted a traffic stop on Roberto Carlos Munoz, a serial illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a lengthy rap...

Amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities, federal agents have threatened to arrest onlookers, following through on that threat at least once. Social media is also full of videos of civilian watchdogs blowing whistles and honking car horns to alert others as agents attempt to stop or detain people they believe to be illegal immigrants. One of them is Lucia Webb, who was boxed in and confronted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after following them in her car last week.

Federal officials say the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent during a chaotic confrontation in Minneapolis had been interfering with immigration enforcement efforts for hours before the deadly encounter. According to the New York Post, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem identified the woman as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good and said her actions escalated throughout the day, culminating in what authorities described as a violent vehicle attack on federal officers. Good was shot and killed on Wednesday after allegedly attempting to ram an ICE agent with her car during a protest in a Minneapolis neighborhood. The scene unfolded roughly one...

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...

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.

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...

10 second short. She was dead 4 days later.

Top Minnesota Democrats are condemning President Trump for amplifying false claims about the murder of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman. Driving the news: On Saturday, Trump shared a Truth Social post and video that promotes unsubstantiated conspiracy theories tying Hortman's June 14 slaying to Gov. Tim Walz and alleged fraud in state programs. What they're saying: Walz, who considered Hortman a friend and political ally, blasted the post as "dangerous, depraved behavior from the sitting president of the United States." "In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed," the DFL governor wrote...

The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city. She was a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who was there as a legal observer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, city leaders have said. But the Trump administration has called her a "domestic terrorist". Good's death has sparked protests across the country, with many people holding signs that read "Justice for Renee". ... A fundraiser for Good's family, which was set up with a target of $50,000...

A blood-covered woman who identified herself as the wife of Renee Nicole Good hysterically blamed herself for her partner’s killing at the hands of ICE agents, gut-wrenching footage shows. The woman was filmed distraught and sobbing just steps from Good’s wrecked car in Minneapolis Wednesday morning, as a neighbor who heard the commotion asked her what happened. “I made her come down here, it’s my fault,” the woman said through sobs. “They just shot my wife.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is facing new scrutiny over a 2021 audio recording of him meeting with members of the Somali community who would soon be convicted of defrauding millions of dollars in taxpayer money. In the recording, now obtained by Fox News, the would-be fraudsters can be heard asking Ellison to help them secure more funding, before the conversation then turns to campaign donations. "The only way that we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena. Putting our votes where it needs to be. But most importantly, putting our dollars in the...

Crowds gathered again in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Jan. 7, marching through the same streets where some of them were protesting five and a half years ago after George Floyd’s murder. The full force and fury of the federal government landed on Minnesota this week. “You will be held accountable for your crimes,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Jan. 6, as the largest immigration enforcement action in agency history surged into the state. It felt like she was addressing all Minnesotans, not just the handcuffed man she paraded before the cameras. Minnesotans reeled as masked ICE agents descended on the...

Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed a Minneapolis woman was hit by her car in the episode. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him,” Noem said. “He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he’s going to spend some time with his family.” She said there would be no pause in the Trump administration’s immigration actions in the city. Earlier in the day, outgoing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) railed against the Trump administration after an Immigration and...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the state "doesn't need any further help from the federal government" after federal officials reported a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis.

Conservative backlash to an earmark for a Somali-led organization in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district is creating a speed bump for a package of three funding bills, delaying the package’s advancement. Tucked into a funding “minibus” funding several departments and agencies, the requested community project funding would give $1,031,000 to the Somali-led organization Generation Hope’s “Justice Empowerment Initiative.” The earmark had also been backed by Sens. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Conservative opposition to the Omar earmark held up the package’s advancement in the Rules panel overnight as conservatives and GOP leaders hashed out a solution. The House Rules...

Tim Walz wants a third term. Donald Trump and Mike Lindell want to beat him. Minnesota has been the white whale for Republicans in the Trump era. And 2026 could be the year they finally break through — if President Donald Trump and one of the most prolific peddlers of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election don’t sink their chances. Republicans are growing optimistic about their chances of unseating Democratic Gov. Tim Walz next year, as he seeks a historic third term. But Trump’s increasingly caustic attacks on Walz and disparagement of Minnesota’s Somali community — and MyPillow CEO Mike...

Tim Walz’s DHS fabricated records, had zero internal controls, and employees ignored oversight on more than $400 MILLION in grants. The fraud and corruption continues.
