The Democrat Sheriff of Charlotte NC, Gary McFadden, was just completely unable to answer: a) What the 3 branches of government are. b) Which branch he serves under. This is genuinely painful to watch... completely shocking. Representative Chesser: What branch of government do you operate under? Sheriff McFadden: Mecklenburg County. Chesser: What branch of government do you operate under as sheriff? McFadden: Constitution of the United States.

Minnesota police arrested anti-ICE protesters outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove on January 26, 2026, after the demonstration escalated with objects thrown at officers and property damage, leading to an unlawful assembly declaration. Demonstrators targeted the hotel because they believed it to be the one in which Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was staying.

Walz backing down to President Trump, during which the MPD apparently agreed to resume aid to enforcement efforts. Regardless,...
