The Freedom Center covered Zaynab in our previous ‘Election Jihad’ report. Her claim to fame was being the first Somali Muslim female state senator in Minnesota. More recently, the Somali settler has been active in the anti-ICE campaign to protect Somali illegal alien criminals from federal law enforcement. State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed and local CAIR leader Jaylani Hussein have been handing out red cards in Somali telling Somalis that they refuse to open doors or answer questions. And aggressively pushing the open borders rallies. At least once a day for the last week, Minnesota State Senator Zaynab Mohamed, a 28-year-old...

🚨 WOW. It was just exposed that Mexico has 53 consulates in the United States and are setting up ANTI-ICE PROTESTS and RIOTS with the Democrat Party, per Peter Schweizer This should be BANNED! They are foreigners on OUR soil, undermining us! x.com/i/status/20148… "They've got a consulate up in the Twin Cities right now that's neck deep in what's going on in Minneapolis!" "They were meeting with Democratic Party activists in 2024 saying, 'how are we going to stop Trump? We got to stop Trump. We turned California from red to blue. We turned Arizona from red to blue.'"

On Monday’s broadcast of WBUR’s “Here and Now,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that he wouldn’t protest in a church, and “it doesn’t take place in Minneapolis. What I can say is, in Minneapolis, we’ve had tens of thousands of peaceful people peacefully protesting.” And “If the goal here is peace and order, then there’s a very easy antidote to achieve it, which is for ICE and the troops and anyone else to leave.” He also stated that violent protesters in the city have been punished.Frey said, “I can’t speak for the church protest, and, obviously, it doesn’t take place...

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...

Catholic personnel in the US military could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland, according to the bishop responsible for their pastoral care. The Archbishop of the Military Services Timothy Broglio said personnel “could be put in a situation where they’re being ordered to do something that’s morally questionable” if the US acted on President Donald Trump’s threats of military action to take control of Greenland. Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday programme on 18 January, Archbishop Broglio said it would be “very difficult for a soldier or a marine or a sailor by himself to disobey an order...

By conducting repeated, non-authorized “hearing-like” events across multiple states, Democratic lawmakers are substituting narrative judgment for formal oversight — a practice that weakens institutional norms without formally breaking them. They explicitly disclaimed constitutional authority while theatrically imitating it — which tells you they understood the limits and chose to step around them anyway. This hearing asserts criminal guilt against federal law enforcement outside the courts while enforcement is ongoing, effectively placing Congress in an extra-constitutional adjudicatory role. By moving a self-described “sixth hearing” out of Washington and placing it under the control of ideologically aligned senior members, Democrats are asserting...

Sunrise is bankrolled by a who’s who of deep-pocketed left-wing organizations. Open Society Foundations has sent it $2 million since 2019, according to its grant database. Half of the money supported general “social welfare activities.” The Ford Foundation contributed $150,000 in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, while the MacArthur Foundation—the 12th-largest private charity in America—gave $250,000 in 2024, according to tax filings and grant disclosures.

In Seattle, the new socialist mayor Katie Wilson urged people to sign up for 'Washington for All ICE Mobilization Alerts', a group which is training to 'mobilize a unified response' to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. 'This will take all of us,' the Seattle Mayor said in a rallying call to residents via a video message posted on her X account, while she also joined protests in the city. 'We already have laws in place that forbid our local police from aiding ICE in most instances. The police will adhere to these laws. That's an important step,' added Wilson,...

The video is a conservative commentary piece discussing recent incidents in Florida (a "red state") involving opposition to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) operations. It covers two main stories in Jacksonville: A city employee (Hispanic Outreach Coordinator Yanita Cardona) who posted a video advising the Latino community on handling potential ICE raids (e.g., preparing powers of attorney), leading to her being placed on administrative leave for policy violations (using work resources without approval). It notes Republican calls for her firing and contrasts Florida's approach with "blue state" policies. Jennifer Cruz, a woman arrested and charged with over a dozen counts...

A Minnesota judge issued a ruling Friday barring federal officers from detaining or deploying tear gasb against peaceful protesters who are not obstructing authorities while participating in Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. The order from U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez restricting the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and federal agents comes amid ongoing protests and heightened tension in Minneapolis after an ICE agent fatally shot Minnesota resident Renee Good earlier this month. The ruling prohibits officers from retaliating against anyone peacefully protesting or observing the actions of immigration officers, adding that federal agents must show probable cause or...

Of course, it’s a Biden-appointed judge. For now, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will be hamstrung in how they respond to deranged leftist protesters who harass, assault, and, in the case of Renee Nicole Good, 37, accelerate their vehicles into federal agents. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters. — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) January 17, 2026 That January 7 shooting has led to mayhem in the city that’s run amok with violent protesters and a local political leadership that’s insane and inept.

Gavin Newsom backtracks on outrageous ICE claims made by his own team. SNIP “Your press office tweeted out that it was state-sponsored terrorism,” Shapiro said, before pushing back on the characterization of federal agents. “Our ICE officers obviously are not terrorists,” Shapiro added. “Yeah, I think that’s fair,” Newsom agreed. The governor also said he “disagreed” that ICE should be abolished. SNIP Newsom also squirmed when Shapiro praised President Trump as the greatest foreign policy president in his lifetime and demanded to know why he wouldn’t “radically” reduce income tax for California

🚨 HOMAN drops the hammer: ‘We’re creating a database of people interfering with ICE. We’ll make ‘em famous, put their faces on TV, notify their employers, neighborhoods, and schools. Bet a lot of bosses don’t know what they’re up to!’ Make’m famous!

The Brief A federal judge declined to bring an immediate end to the ICE surge in Minnesota during a court hearing on Wednesday. However, the judge did fast-track arguments in the lawsuit, demanding federal authorities submit its response by Monday, Jan. 19. The State of Minnesota argues that the ICE operation has caused "serious harm", citing incidents like the shooting of Renee Good. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A federal court judge is allowing the ICE surge in Minnesota to continue for now amid a legal challenge by the state, but is demanding federal authorities respond to the lawsuit by early...

Customs and Border Protection agents began an immigration enforcement operation Saturday in Charlotte. Leaders of North Carolina's largest city have said the federal operation is causing fear and uncertainty. Charlotte real estate agent Tabatha Andonian has been tracking federal agent sightings and sharing information with the city's Latino community. “Right now, I’m just driving around to see if I spot any vehicles that are ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), seeing if they have out-of-state plates,” she said.

Left-wing activists in Minneapolis are targeting ICE with a highly organized on-the-ground harassment and tracking operation, complete with hotel and license plate lists, “noise demonstrations,” and training on how to “stop ICE.” The extremist groups at the forefront of this operation have received millions of dollars from the left’s most powerful money machines, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found. At the center is the Sunrise Movement, which has shifted from climate activism into anti-ICE agitation in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Sunrise operatives...

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...
