The leftist worldview just got a lot shakier.
The names of the federal agents reportedly involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti in January were publicized Sunday by a leftist website.
And if the names are correct, they destroy the narrative Americans have been fed for more than a week.
Both men are Hispanics hailing from South Texas. One is an agent for Border Patrol, the other is with Customs and Border Protection, according to Pro Publica.
“This is my daughter’s middle school. I’m pulling my child today… being allowed to protest ICE agents, disrupting traffic… This is f*cking unbelievable.”
An Auburn, Washington mother recorded herself removing her seventh-grade child from Olympic Middle School on Friday after learning that students had walked out during the school day to protest federal immigration enforcement. In the video, she described the walkout disrupting traffic, interfering with learning, and creating an environment she did not believe was safe for her child or for parents approaching the campus.
‘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.
Election integrity is the Democrat party’s death sentence.

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.”

Judge blocks removal of 5-year-old detained by ICE in Minnesota
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.
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.
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?
The Minnesota-based federal judge who declined to issue arrest warrants for Don Lemon and several of the radicals accused of storming into Cities Church on Jan. 18 demanded on Tuesday that acting ICE Director Todd Lyons “appear personally before the Court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt of Court.”
Despite U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz’s portrayal in the liberal media as a conservative-minded and “mild-mannered George W. Bush appointee,” it appears that Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin’s characterization of Schiltz as “just another activist judge” is more apt.
The weekend before last, a mob of Leftists, including Don Lemon, stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, MN. Three of the agitators were arrested and almost immediately released by judges, while another judge refused to sign off on the arrest warrant for Lemon. It turns out that judge, Douglas L. Micko, is married to a woman who reportedly works in AG Keith Ellison’s office.
Climate science has been hijacked by philosophical globalism and alarmism, psychology research is controlled by gender, anti-racism, and decolonization ideologies, and unorthodox studies are shunned and blackballed.
So say Breakthrough Institute senior fellow Patrick Brown, Benjamin Lovett from Teachers College, Columbia University, and Andrea Clements, the assistant chair of East Tennessee State University’s Department of Psychology, in interviews with The College Fix and panels they have taken part in over the last year.
Ideological, political, and corporate interests now influence research and its outcomes, say the trio of scientists representing the fields of psychology and climate science.
Washington state prison officials privately acknowledged that “trans” men could have more sinister motives for wanting to be housed with females.
A group of “gender affirming” mental health specialists discussed how to prevent inmates from requesting sex-changes for “secondary gain” rather than gender dysphoria during an internal monthly meeting. Secondary gain is a psychiatric term that describes the benefits a person with a mental disorder gleans from their neurosis such as “extra attention, sympathy, avoidance of work, and domination of others,” according to the American Psychological Association.
“The topic was on secondary gain and how certain individuals want gender affirming services, but it is not due to gender dysphoria,” the September 2024 meeting notes show. “The question was asked how to prevent that,” the records state.
Legal gun owners’ Second Amendment rights are under threat in Virginia after the Democrat-controlled government workshopped a bill that would effectively criminalize anyone who possesses a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.
Newly elected Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger claims to “respect the Second Amendment and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” In the first days of the new gubernatorial administration, however, the Democrat trifecta and triplex under Spanberger committed the state to infringe on Virginians’ right to bear arms. Under SB749, countless “responsible” Virginia gun owners could be classified as criminals for possessing guns and magazines that they legally acquired.

The story of the Canadian woman, known as Mrs. B, who was killed by euthanasia after her spouse experienced care-giver distress, even though she had requested palliative care, has been reported by several media reports.
To provide greater context I went to the original MDRC committee report of the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario titled: Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions. This was the MDRC 2024 – Fourth report.
When examining Same Day or Next Day euthanasia provisions the MDRC report states:
A small proportion (4.8%) of all Track 1 MAiD deaths occurred on the same day or next day of a request for MAiD. In 2023, 65 MAiD provisions (1.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the same day of a request and 154 MAiD provisions (3.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the next day of a request.
A woman called police to tell them that she had drowned her 7-month-old baby in a bathtub, and police confirmed the horrific claim when they went to her home.
Tierra Scott-Franklin, 23, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon by Gainesville police at her residence in the Sweetwater Square Apartments.
‘She did what she did, but we stand behind her. She is loved. She is valued.’
A recent investigative report by Newsweek has exposed troubling connections between the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — America’s largest socialist organization — and officials linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These revelations demand serious scrutiny because the DSA has achieved growing political influence in recent years. This influence reached a new peak with the 2025 election of longtime DSA member Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.
The Newsweek report drew on dozens of internal DSA documents, including meeting minutes and presentation materials dating back to 2021. These records show the DSA’s international committee actively pursuing closer relations with CCP-affiliated entities, often framed as solidarity in the fight against “U.S. imperialism.” In one striking example from a 2025 meeting of the DSA China Working Group, a New York-based member stated: “China wants to interface with the DSA … If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals, and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we’re golden.”

Grace Carol Brown is accused of smashing a window, unlawfully entering the Comal County Republican Party headquarters, and starting a deliberate fire inside.
A 21-year-old Texas woman has been charged with arson and burglary after allegedly breaking into and setting fire to a Republican Party headquarters in New Braunfels, an incident GOP leaders say reflects a troubling escalation of political extremism.
Newsmax reported that authorities identified the suspect as Grace Carol Brown, who was arrested on January 22, 2026, following a joint investigation involving local law enforcement and the FBI. Brown is accused of smashing an exterior window, unlawfully entering the Comal County Republican Party headquarters, and starting a deliberate fire inside the building.
According to officials, employees arriving at the headquarters on January 14 discovered broken windows and evidence of a small fire, prompting an immediate response from the New Braunfels Police Department and Fire Department. The fire caused minor damage, and no injuries were reported, but Republican officials emphasized that the act appeared intentional and targeted. Police said investigators from the New Braunfels Police Department, the New Braunfels Fire Marshal’s Office, and the FBI’s San Antonio office worked together to identify the suspect, gather evidence, and obtain search and arrest warrants.
There are a multitude of stories emerging from the ongoing unrest in Minnesota, but the Elitist Media have settled on one of them to put forward in furtherance of narrative at the expense of other, more inconvenient stories. One of those stories remained hidden from the broadcast nightly news until tonight.
Per Minneapolis’ own Fox 9:
Two women have been charged after allegedly biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol agents in the moments that followed the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Citizens of Virginia will face a key vote on whether to enshrine the murder of preborn babies into their state constitution.
After the Democratic Party achieved massive victories in Old Dominion during the 2025 off-year elections, they were able to pass House Joint Resolution 1 in a decisive vote.
The measure will place a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom” ballot question before voters this fall, according to a report from The Christian Post.
If passed, the Virginia Constitution would be amended to say that “every individual has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including the ability to make and carry out decisions related to one’s own prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, abortion care, miscarriage management, and fertility care.”
Kirk Bangstad, the Wisconsin owner of Minocqua Brewing Company, has openly expressed extreme hostility toward President Donald Trump, conservatives, and anyone who does not share his far-left ideology.
Bangstad, who was ordered to pay a six-figure sum for defamation in 2023 and was charged with harassment last year, has a long record of incendiary rhetoric.
The beermaker is also treasurer of a far-left federal super PAC bearing the same name as his brewing company.
Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Bangstad wrote, “F**k Charlie Kirk.”
Rather than stand firm, crush the blatant insurrection against federal authority in Minnesota, and emulate his hero Andrew Jackson, President Donald Trump blinked.
Trump announced Monday that he had a “very good call” with Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and that the governor had requested they “work together with respect to Minnesota.”
That same day, Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey revealed he had also spoken with Trump and that they both “agreed the present situation can’t continue.”
A Democrat running to be Ohio’s attorney general promised to kill President Donald Trump if he wins the November election.
Elliot Forhan, a former state representative and current attorney general candidate, posted a plan outlining how he would “kill Donald Trump.”
“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said in a video. “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment. That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump.”
This might shock you, but it’s true. A Soros-funded district attorney in a Democrat run city is threatening lawfare against ICE agents. He even called them “nazis” and threatened to hunt them down for their war crimes of *checks notes* enforcing existing immigration laws. We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website are sure his desperation, as well as his progressive peers, has nothing to do with a new map showing how many congressional seats his state is losing WITHOUT the past deportations.
First, the Soros-funded Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.
This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are. In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.
He sounds just like the commie officials in Chicago, and Minneapolis, and New York City, and California. They’ve gone all in on protecting illegal immigrants at the expense of actual American citizens.
The belief amongst many of us to the right of Karl Marx or Zohran Mamdani is that, among other reasons, it is because Democrats insist on counting illegals when it comes to the census to game the system. However, that’s one side of the argument. The other side would argue that, according to “experts” and “independent” “fact” “checkers,” there isn’t a signed affidavit admitting where democrats admit that they are doing this, so it’s not true.
Disturbing new details have emerged about the far-left mob that stormed a Sunday church service at Cities Church in St. Paul, exposing an incident far more terrifying than initially reported. Democrat-aligned protesters forced their way into the church during worship, targeting the congregation over false claims that the pastor supported immigration authorities.
According to witnesses, agitators blocked stairwells, preventing parents from reaching their children attending Sunday School. Mothers were left panicked and helpless as chaos unfolded inside what should have been a place of safety and refuge. One boy cried to his dad: “I thought you were going to die.”
Even more alarming, one protester reportedly harassed a child directly, telling them: “Do you know your parents are Nazis? They’re going to burn in hell.” The verbal abuse of children crossed a line that shocks the conscience.
The invasion of Cities Church was not a protest—it was intimidation, terror, and ideological violence aimed at families and children. Yet once again, political leaders and media outlets that routinely decry “threats to democracy” remain conspicuously silent when the victims are ordinary Americans targeted by the radical left.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in Beijing, the first British leader to make an official trip to China since 2018, after he said he believes he can unlock business opportunities there despite security concerns.
A chartered British Airways jet carried the Prime Minister to Beijing overnight — allegedly to keep Chinese spies away from the Prime Minister’s own government plane — for the first of a three-day trip to China, which the Labour leader hopes will thaw relations after what he called an “ice age”.
The hurried trip was only officially announced by China on Tuesday and seems to be something of a reward for Starmer after the British government forced through permission for Beijing to build a new “mega-embassy” in London just last week. The new complex, which will be the largest embassy in Western Europe once completed, has been the subject of intense criticism over spying and national security fears, but was signed off on nevertheless by one of Starmer’s government ministers.

“Nobody elected him to be [President Franklin Delano Roosevelt], they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos,” then-Rep. Abigail Spanberger harshly said of then-President Joe Biden in 2021, after her Democratic Party lost the governorship of Virginia. Her point was that Biden had followed a radical agenda that betrayed how he had run and how the media had presented him: as a moderate.
Biden’s sudden radicalism in his first year in office, she seemed to be saying, lost her party the election.
More than 100 community members, including parents, attended a meeting of the West Chicago City Council to demand they take action against an elementary school teacher who posted about immigration.
West Chicago Mayor Daniel Bovey also joined the mob in calling on Gary Elementary School to get rid of the teacher for showing support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
‘We want to ensure our schools are safe spaces, and we look forward to seeing all students back in school.’
“We have kids in our school districts, in this school specifically, who have lost a mom or dad or family member within the last three months. They’re going home wondering if they will ever see Mom or Dad again,” Bovey said.
The teacher’s outrageous statement was composed of only two words: “Go ICE.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stark warning to Tehran’s leadership, vowing that any attack on Israel would be met with “a force that Iran has never seen before”. The declaration comes as tensions in the Middle East reach a dangerous new peak, fuelled by a volatile mix of nationwide protests in the Islamic fundamentalist republic, the arrival of a massive US aircraft carrier strike group, and bellicose rhetoric from Washington.
The prospect of World War 3 has shifted from a distant anxiety to an immediate geopolitical concern. Military experts warn that a major war in the Middle East could ignite a global conflagration by drawing in world powers through alliance commitments.
