Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s “documented history of inflicting significant harm on immigrant communities and communities of color nationwide,” prompted the Stanford University student government to support a nationwide “walkout” last Friday.
The Undergraduate Senate accused ICE agents of creating harm via “aggressive raids, family separation, prolonged detention, racial profiling, and the use of force in civilian spaces, resulting in lasting psychological, economic, and physical harm to students and their families.”
The resolution passed the student senate 11-0 on Wednesday and the Graduate Student Council 11-0-2 on Thursday.
‘Basically a war on journalists that are trying to gather information and provide it to the public’
A trio of Minnesota university law professors says the arrests of former CNN pundit Don Lemon and a local journalist for “documenting” the disruption at a recent church service represent an “attack on a free press.”
Lemon and Georgia Fort were indicted last week by a federal grand jury for their alleged role in a January 18 anti-ICE protest inside Cities Church in St. Paul, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Organized protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions across the nation have begun spilling over into public school classrooms as videos surface of teachers leading their students in walkouts.
In recent days, a wave of anti-ICE protests have taken place around the nation and public school teachers and their students are becoming participants in walkouts and rallies.
In Asheville, North Carolina, students were filmed streaming out of their school, carrying professionally printed signs as part of a protest against federal immigration enforcement raids.
Last Friday morning, former CNN Anchor Don Lemon was arrested along with three others, in connection with the January 18th anti-ICE attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was later charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violation of the FACE Act, and was released without bail. As expected the liberal media, led by his former CNN colleagues, immediately came to Lemon’s defense, portraying the arrest as vindictive, and a violation of the First Amendment. But that night on Fox, Jesse Watters Primetime laid out a strong case against Lemon.
Shocking video from Portland, Oregon shows staff at the Portland Montessori School leading very young children—some as young as five or six—in an anti-ICE protest, triggering widespread calls for the revocation of any licenses the school holds. Critics say the footage raises serious questions about professional boundaries, parental consent, and the politicization of early childhood education. Educators are entrusted with teaching basic skills and safeguarding children—not using classrooms as staging grounds for ideological activism or involving minors in political demonstrations they are incapable of understanding.
New York City is poised to significantly expand its sanctuary city policies after the City Council voted to override a veto blocking legislation that would prohibit federal immigration agents from operating inside city correctional facilities.
Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the Safer Sanctuary Act into law in the coming days.
The new law makes all 19 city-run correctional facilities, including Rikers Island, off-limits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The bill was introduced last year by Democrat Astoria Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Election integrity is the Democrat party’s death sentence.
Where the hell is the GOP Congress? Pass the SAVE Act and impeach Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has just PERMANENTLY BLOCKED President Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections

INSANITY.

Members of the press were mobbed and assaulted by crazed anti-ICE agitators during a violent riot in Los Angeles Saturday night.
“ICE Out” demonstrations in Los Angeles devolved into violence over the weekend, prompting LA police and federal agents to deploy tear gas, pepper balls, and flash bangs to disperse the rioters outside the Federal Building in downtown LA.
Video footage taken by Traffic News Los Angeles (TNLA) during the chaos shows a female photographer being surrounded and harassed by an anti-ICE mob, with agitators yelling “get her!” and “punch her!”
California is facing mounting calls for a sweeping audit after MASSIVE fraud was exposed — a staggering 18% of all U.S. home health activity comes from just one place: Los Angeles County.
That single county now has more hospice agencies than 36 states combined.
Federal authorities arrested two more suspects in the Minnesota church invasion, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday.
“If you riot in a place of worship, we WILL find you,” Bondi wrote on X.
“We have made two more arrests in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota: Ian Davis Austin and Jerome Deangelo Richardson,” she added.
Both Austin and Richardson appear in the indictment that a federal grand jury handed down Thursday.
In a dramatic appearance on The Dan Bongino Show on Monday, President Donald Trump renewed claims about the 2020 presidential election and signaled that “something” is “about to come out” regarding election wrongdoing in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump’s latest comments come after federal authorities conducted a court-approved search at a Fulton County election facility, seizing ballots and election records.
On the live broadcast, Trump reiterated his long-standing assertions that the 2020 election was stolen. He told listeners that some states were “so crooked” in vote counting that results were manipulated, including in states he claims to have won. Trump said that evidence from the Fulton County search will soon reveal “interesting things,” and urged Republicans to consider “nationalizing the voting.”
The Syrian army has moved into the northeastern city of Hasakah, which was formerly under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a first step towards implementing a US-backed ceasefire deal.
A large convoy of trucks was seen entering the city on Monday hours after the SDF declared a curfew there.
Syrian government forces were also expected to enter the cities of Kobane and Qamishli.
The SDF reached a comprehensive agreement with the government on Friday to integrate with the Syrian army, after Kurdish-led forces ceded territory to advancing government troops in recent weeks after months of tensions and sporadic clashes.
For those of us who fled the Islamic Republic decades ago, watching the images of mosques burning across our homeland evokes a complex, visceral cocktail of emotions. To the outside observer, a mosque in flames is a tragedy of religious intolerance. But to the Iranian people – and specifically to those of us who have lived under the suffocating veil of theocratic absolute power – these fires are not acts of “terrorism.” They are acts of exorcism.
We are witnessing more than a political protest; we are seeing a definitive, civilizational uprising against the very concept of the Islamic state. As the smoke rises from Tehran to Mashhad, it signals the end of a forty-seven-year experiment in forced piety. The Iranian people are not just demanding a change in government; they are demanding the return of their soul – a soul that was systematically suppressed in 1979.
To understand why an ex-Muslim Iranian might cheer for the destruction of a “house of God,” one must understand what the mosque has become in the Islamic Republic. For decades, the regime has used the mosque not as a sanctuary, but as a command center.
America’s propaganda media have always applied two very different standards when judging the “ethics and conduct” of U.S. Supreme Court justices. While expending countless resources inventing nothingburger “scandals” of wrongdoing about the court’s originalists, these so-called “defenders of democracy” regularly go out of their way to glamorize the body’s leftist members — no matter how untoward or inappropriate their behavior may seem.
That’s the dynamic that was at play on Sunday evening, when Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson attended this year’s anti-ICE Grammy Awards. The Biden appointee made an appearance at the event following the nomination for “best audio book, narration and storytelling recording” for her 2024 memoir, according to USA Today.
PARIS: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the start of nuclear talks with the United States, local media said on Monday (Feb 2), after US President Donald Trump said he was hopeful of a deal to avert military action against the Islamic republic.
Following the Iranian authorities’ deadly response to anti-government protests that peaked last month, Trump has threatened military action and ordered the dispatch of an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East.
While piling pressure on Iran, Trump has maintained he is hopeful of making a deal, and Tehran has also insisted it wants diplomacy while vowing an unbridled response to any aggression.
Chinese businesses have pledged hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of investment in the U.K. and struck new partnerships with British peers as Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s visit to China spurred a flurry of bilateral business activity and investment flows.
During his four-day visit in China last week, Starmer met Chinese President Xi Jinping and secured deals that would see hundreds of millions worth of new investments from Chinese businesses, in addition to £2.2 billion ($3 billion) worth of exports and £2.3 billion in market access, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office.
Following the high-profile visit, the two leaders hailed the benefits of cooperation, with Xi describing the bilateral ties as “mutually beneficial.” Starmer, who brought a large delegation of executives from banking, pharmaceutical, and automobile companies to China, also described the country as vital to Britain’s interests.
Women have been raped and mutilated after standing up to the regime as protests sweep the country, it has been claimed.
Journalist Michel Abdollahi claims this brutal treatment is being used to instil “maximum fear.”
Speaking on social media. He said, “No women’s bodies are turning up, or very few. And that’s because, according to eyewitness accounts, they are being raped, their uteruses removed, their scalps ripped off along with their hair and their bodies covered in cigarette burns.”
He added that the Islamic Republic “uses rape as a weapon against its people.”

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A coalition of 47 conservative organizations is launching a campaign to challenge the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which the groups claim redefined marriage to emphasize the desires of adults over the needs of children.
The “Greater Than” campaign focuses on one message, which a handful of conservative leaders state clearly in a launch video: “Children are greater than equal, and it’s time we fought for their rights.”
The messaging responds to the LGBTQ activist narrative that redefining marriage as between two people, rather than between a man and a woman, involves “equality.”

Judge blocks removal of 5-year-old detained by ICE in Minnesota
Sudan has moved to the forefront of the global humanitarian landscape, now hosting the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), approximately 14 million people have been forced from their homes within the country.
These staggering figures in Sudan are part of a broader global surge in forced displacement. UNHCR estimates suggest the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide exceeded 122 million by the first half of 2025.
The United States has told Ukraine that it must sign on to a peace deal with Russia in order to get U.S. security guarantees, a source familiar with internal discussions told Reuters on Tuesday.
U.S. security guarantees are considered by Ukraine as the linchpin for any settlement ending Russia’s four-year-old invasion of Ukraine. The United States brokered talks in Abu Dhabi between envoys for Ukraine and Russia last weekend that U.S. officials said made progress toward an agreement.
The man accused of attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar with a mystery liquid at a Minnesota town hall allegedly warned a neighbor in advance that he “might get arrested” at the event, a comment that now reads as a chilling prelude to Tuesday night’s disruption.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, is accused of rushing the Democratic congresswoman as she stood at the podium addressing constituents and calling for abolishing ICE, spraying an amber-colored, foul-smelling liquid from a syringe in her direction.
The incident unfolded Tuesday night as Omar was speaking at a town hall in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. Video footage shows a man in a black jacket lunging toward the podium and discharging the liquid. Omar appeared startled but was not reported to have been injured.
Ilhan Omar was giving a speech at Minneapolis when a white man in his 50s approached her and doused her with juice. While the incident was called fake by some, including President Trump, there has been no clear evidence so far to confirm that accusation. The attack comes as news was breaking of a suspicious company Omar owns.
The suspect business is a winery in California that appears to have no infrastructure yet her husband’s stake in the company went from $15k last year to $1-5 million in only one year. Omar’s worth has ballooned from near zero when she took office to over $6 million (or more) today. Her finances are being investigated by the U.S. House Oversight Committee under James Comer (R-KY).
Omar’s 2024 disclosure lists her spouse Tim Mynett’s eStCru LLC stake in Santa Rosa, California, valued between $1 million and $5 million, up sharply from $15,001-$50,000 the year before. The winery shows signs of inactivity—no working phone, empty parking lot, dormant social media—while Mynett faced a settled investor fraud lawsuit and a separate debt claim. House Oversight Chairman James Comer launched a review of her wealth rise from near-zero to $6-30 million, tying it to Minnesota fraud reports, as Trump called for DOJ scrutiny; Omar calls the claims misreadings of broad disclosure ranges.
Signal Chats have been exposed from paid insurrectionists that have been coordinating with Minnesota state officials. The insurrectionists have been intentionally interfering with the legal prosecution of criminal arrests that have been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Now, Minnesota’s Attorney General has been directly connected to the chat. His office created a secret portal for the insurrectionists to use to coordinate their attacks and get information that was used to attack American independent reporters like Cam Higby. It should be noted the activity began shortly after the Somali Fraud scam was exposed by another independent journalist stalked with the help of Ellison’s secret web portal, Nick Shirley.
Anti-ICE Signal chat links members to AG Keith Ellison’s office to report feds in Minnesota – The Post Millennial
Participants were instructed to report federal agents directly to the Minnesota Attorney General’s office using the form.
Activists in a Minnesota Signal chat are reportedly encouraging each other to report federal agents to Attorney General Keith Ellison through a state-run reporting portal created by Ellison’s office. This comes as reports have revealed large, coordinated Signal chats where participants allegedly share real-time information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol movements, which federal authorities now say those activities are under investigation.
As the crucial mid-term elections loom, the Republican Party might break precedent and hold a party convention.
The Republican National Committee’s Rules Committee on Thursday approved the concept of calling a convention, according to Fox News.
The new rule would empower Chairman Joe Gruters “to convene a special ceremonial convention outside a presidential election cycle,” according to an RNC memo.
The memo discussed “the possibility of an America First midterm convention-style gathering aligned with President Trump’s vision for energizing the party this fall.”
Tuesday’s CBS Mornings sought to give viewers a look at “how things turn[ed] chaotic” in Minneapolis with correspondent Lilia Luciano, but she muddied the waters by blaming conservative journalist Nick Shirley for the deadly chaos and refused to acknowledge Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) had removed dangerous criminals from the Twin Cities.
Still floored by how ridiculous this segment was on Tuesday’s ‘CBS Mornings’ that downplayed the notion that CBP and ICE have removed dangerous illegal aliens (refusing to name a single one), blamed Nick Shirley for the chaos in Minneapolis, and commiserated with a hipster coffee… pic.twitter.com/NyOcTexL1O

Featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers had a similarly biased lead-in, including downplaying the reality of criminals taken off the streets:
Many Americans have been shocked by the images and stories coming out of Minneapolis these last few weeks. The White House says the surge in Homeland Security agents to the area was about combating fraud along with deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. But here’s the thing, many arrested people have no criminal record. Some say they were stopped at random. So, how did things turn chaotic?
