Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability."

Some celebrities donned anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pins displayed slogans like “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT,” introducing a political angle into the awards show after last year’s relatively apolitical ceremony. Mark Ruffalo wore one such pin on the red carpet, and other celebrities were expected to have them on display as well.

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers addressed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis this week during a postgame press conference on Friday. "What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder, in my opinion," Rivers said when asked about athletes participating in politics. "It’s awful. This lady was probably trying to go home, and she didn’t make it home, and that’s really sad. The whole ICE thing is, it’s a travesty." Rivers then accused ICE of racism. "It’s clear to me we’re attacking brown people, and I just happen to be brown," Rivers said about the death of Renée Nicole Good. "I don’t...

U2 frontman and activist Bono has publicly backed a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti from an Israeli jail. Barghouti has been serving multiple life sentences since 2002 for orchestrating murderous terrorist attacks against Israelis. He is widely believed to have planned the Second Intifada, which claimed thousands of Israeli lives from 2000 to 2005. Barghouti has continued inciting terrorism from his jail cell. Despite his convictions, he is viewed by many Palestinian Arabs as a unifying figure and potential future leader. In a personal essay published in The Atlantic, Bono described Barghouti as “a leader of vision,...

More than one thousand people crammed into a Minnesota church Saturday for “training” in how to deal with ICE in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting — during which the radical leftist organizer urged participants to annoy the agents like “mosquitoes.” Program sponsor Monarca trains so-called “upstander legal observers” to follow, track, report, and record Department of Homeland Security officers while they are in the midst of operations, and urged the mostly white, middle-aged and elderly attendees to attend protests with gas masks, sunglasses and phone chargers. “And a pencil,” they said. “In Minnesota, bring a pencil; a...

Jimmy Kimmel drew backlash online after a monologue in which he accused President Donald Trump of enabling deadly force through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a segment aired on Wednesday, Kimmel referenced the recent fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Nicloe Good by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis. "Donald J. Trump is going to kill you," Kimmel said, holding up a T-shirt with that message. "He isn't just killing people overseas." Kimmel questioned Trump's response to the shooting, quoting the president's claim that the victim was "a professional agitator" and that the shooting occurred after she...

Somali-born Oregon state Senate senator Kayse Jama criticized federal immigration enforcement officers Thursday night following a federal agent’s shooting of two people in Portland, telling them they were not welcome in the community. Speaking at a news conference alongside Portland’s mayor and other state and local leaders, Jama, a Somali‑born refugee and Oregon Democrat, addressed federal agencies, including US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying, “This is Oregon.

“Given the option of being able to kidnap any world leader, U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey told the Kyiv Independent he would "take (Russian President Vladimir) Putin into custody and hold him account for war crimes.”

The far-left ladies of The View suffered yet another on-air meltdown this week after longtime anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro dared to break ranks and inject reality into a discussion about U.S. policy toward Venezuela, triggering a full-blown freakout from co-host Sunny Hostin and snide interjections from Joy Behar. As President Trump’s Operation Absolute Resolve continues to secure freedom for the Venezuelan people and protect American interests, the legal “experts” on the Left are mourning the loss of a Marxist regime. The segment, which was supposed to be another routine Trump-bashing session, quickly spiraled out of control when Navarro refused to...

Michael Fanone, the Democrats' insufferable foul-mouthed J6 mascot, says citizens need to start shooting ICE agents. "It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what is clearly becoming unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans.” Fanone is trying to incite the murder of federal law enforcement for doing their jobs. Arrest this man.

How come no one ever challenges buffoons such as Jesse Ventura?

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal slammed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as "madeup, fake, wannabe law enforcement," asserting that ICE's actions violate both "legal law" and "moral law." Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned that law enforcement officials who commit crimes in Philadelphia will be arrested and charged. "So I'm with the DA," Bilal declared. "You don't want this smoke. Cuz we will bring it to you," Bilal said. In a dig at President Donald Trump, she warned that "the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep" ICE agents from heading to jail. Fox News Digital reached...

Furious over the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura slammed President Donald Trump as a “draft-dodging coward” who has “destroyed the Constitution.” Ventura, an independent, former wrestler and Vietnam veteran, was at his high school alma mater Thursday to show support for it after ICE descended on the school the same day Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent. “He’s the draft dodging coward, who when it was his time to serve his country, he did what all rich white boys did. I wasn’t a...

Night show host Jimmy Kimmel sent a message to President Donald Trump following the ICE shooting of a 37-year-old unarmed woman in Minneapolis Wednesday evening. The incident has sparked outrage online, and Kimmel hit back against Trump’s claim that ICE killed the woman in self defense. "They were there under the guise of protecting us, and of course, our president weighed in with compassion," Kimmel said sarcastically before reading Trump’s comments on the matter. "I have just viewed the clip of the event… It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the...

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.

A prosecutor previously criticized for targeting law enforcement is asking to lead a probe into a shooting by an immigration agent in Minnesota. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Wednesday that she made the demand after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a driver who drove toward him during anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Conservatives blasted Moriarty over the past year for giving no jail time to a Somali rapist and a Tesla vandal and for attempting to prosecute a state trooper who shot a belligerent felon. We’re aware of the shooting at 34th and Portland. We’ve been...
