Independent journalist Cam Higby was reportedly stalked and threatened while covering the escalating protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I was just stalked for over a mile, with a person trying to agitate crowds against me, eventually leading to me being assaulted.
I called 911 before an angry mob formed. Officers did not respond. Dispatcher was impatient with me on the phone WHILE I was being assaulted.

“Killer Agent Unmasked,” screamed a headline in The Drudge Report. I know, I know, hardly anyone sane reads the Drudge Report anymore. But its headline and accompanying stories did stake out the let’s-see-if-we-can-spark-the-George-Floyd-reboot territory. So did a supremely irresponsible opinion column in The Chicago Tribune, which argued that “every last American” should agree that the shooting death of Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis a few days ago was “an abomination.”
Should they? Was it?
Soon-to-be ex-Minnesota governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey certainly think so. Walz has been comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo for years. Frey abetted the “fiery but mostly peaceful” burning of Minneapolis in 2020 after George Floyd died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest, and Frey acted entirely according to form in denouncing ICE and Donald Trump in response to the shooting of Good by an ICE agent.
The destructive, anti-American left thought they were getting the band back together. Mobs in various cities have been protesting, harassing, and impeding the lawful activities of ICE. In Minneapolis, mobs are going from hotel to hotel in search of ICE agents, smashing windows, blaring horns, and screaming obscenities.
Angie Craig is a Minnesota congresswoman seeking the Dem nomination for an open Senate seat. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Craig’s ultraliberal primary opponent, has accused Craig of being too tough on immigration. Craig committed the unforgivable sin — in leftist eyes — of voting for the Laken Riley Act, and supporting a House resolution condemning antisemitism and expressing gratitude for ICE.
So Craig is clearly on a campaign to atone for her transgressions, and prove to the kind of far-left Dems who vote in Minnesota primaries that she is just as out there as the wackiest of them.
MS NOW’s The Weekend gave Craig an opportunity to do that, having her as a guest on Saturday’s show.
The first topic was the blatant stunt Craig pulled on January 7th, picking an argument on the House floor–with cameras conveniently rolling–with Republican congressman Tom Emmer on the subject of the ICE shooting of Renee Good. Craig repeatedly poked her finger toward Emmer’s chest, and a colleague eventually had to pull her away. She described herself to The Weekend hosts as “a pissed off congresswoman on the House floor.” Oh, the bravery of this woman warrior! Peggy Flanagan is a hopeless lefty, but she got one thing right, saying Craig “cravenly picked a fight” with Emmer.
Don’t believe your lying eyes.
That’s effectively what the hoax-peddling Washington Post told its readers when it ran what can only be surmised as the most dishonest piece of left-wing propaganda published (so far) this year.
Splattered across the top of the outlet’s homepage on Thursday was an ” analysis” titled, “Video shows ICE agent in Minneapolis fired at driver as vehicle veered past him.” (An earlier version of the article had the headline, “ICE agent was not in the vehicle’s path when he fired at driver, video shows.”)
Right from the get-go, it’s clear that make-pretend “reporters” Aaron Davis and Jonathan Baran aren’t trying to inform their audience of what actually happened but are instead seeking to advance the Democrat Party’s anti-ICE agenda.
Upon navigating the Orwellian article, readers are immediately bombarded with the presumption that the Trump administration’s central (and well-documented) claim — that the now-deceased woman disobeyed ICE and then hit an agent with her car — is false. In typical legacy media fashion, Davis and Baran play up such framing by asserting that their “frame-by-frame analysis” “raises questions” about the administration’s account of the incident.

Simultaneous disruption and progress, with a relentless Taiwan-focused capability development deadline.
That’s the overriding theme of the 25th edition of the Department of Defense’s China Military Power Report, released on Dec. 23, 2025. Despite extensive leadership purges and ongoing disciplinary investigations across China’s military and defense industry, the 2025 report concludes that China continues to make progress toward General Secretary Xi Jinping’s 2027 “Centennial Military Building Goal” and associated warfighting capabilities against Taiwan.
The report shows China’s military undergoing simultaneous disruption and advancement, with leadership purges and procurement-related investigations generating short-term turbulence even as Xi’s armed forces surge forward.
The official White House narrative of how a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a U.S. citizen in her vehicle in Minneapolis is bumping hard up against what can be seen in videos of the incident.
U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are all insisting that the victim, Renee Nicole Good, deliberately rammed her vehicle into an ICE officer who then fired shots in self-defence because he feared for his life.
Yet three videos from the scene — each verified by CBC News as authentic — contradict these claims and raise serious questions about why the White House is defending the fatal shooting as justified.
Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was shot and killed while attempting to run over a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis on Wednesday, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” federal immigration operations, according to a new report.
According to a report from the New York Post, Good moved to Minneapolis last year and linked up with the anti-ICE group through parents at her six-year-old son’s charter school. The school boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” local sources told the outlet.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a vigil near the site of the shooting on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner held a press conference on Thursday and issued a stark warning to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Krasner told ICE agents who are in his city, or planning to come to his city, to “get the F out of here” if they were coming to “commit crimes.” Krasner’s press conference was in response to the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot after seemingly driving her car into an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week. The press conference was somewhat unusual, given that the incident had no connection to Philadelphia whatsoever.
“Let me be clear,” Krasner said. “If any law enforcement agent — any ICE agent — is going to come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here. Because if you do that here, I will charge you with those crimes, you will be arrested, you will stand trial, you will be convicted — whether it’s in state or federal court, it’s my office prosecuting it, that’s how the law works — and you will do your time. Because Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction.”
Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed Renee Good on Wednesday, has served as a deportation officer with ICE since 2015, records show. He was seriously injured last summer when he was dragged by the vehicle of a fleeing suspect whom he shot with a stun gun.
Federal officials have not named the officer who shot Good, a 37-year-old mother who was shot as she tried to drive away from federal agents. But Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem said the agent who shot Good had been dragged by a vehicle last June, and a department spokesperson confirmed Noem was referring to the Bloomington, Minnesota, case in which documents identified the injured officer as Ross.

This weekend, Democrat Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar joined thousands of leftists in Minnesota to protest ICE.
But, she might be wishing she hadn’t, now…
At one point during the protest, Rep. Omar stood right next to a woman who started screeching into a microphone about two of Omar’s buddies — Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
And, it’s obvious that it started to make Rep. Omar feel very uncomfortable.

Anti-government chants filled the streets of Iran’s capital on Saturday night, as protesters pressed the biggest movement against the Islamic republic in more than three years despite a deadly crackdown under cover of an internet blackout.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Nicole Good in her SUV during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday, after giving her an order to get out of the car which she failed to obey, instead trying to leave the scene in her car, resulting in the fatal shooting.
Throughout is coverage thus far, PBS News Hour has leaned heavily on a selection of facts and assumptions to skew against the officer’s defensive shooting action, and ignoring inconvenient facts — like the fact that Good, a radicalized mother of a toddler, showed up in a dangerous situation to block legal immigration enforcement action, spurred by her wife who urged Good to “drive, baby, drive” before the officer shot at Good three times, killing her.
PBS hype of liberal “outrage” began on Night One of the controversy, when few facts were in. Outraged Democrats were presented as nonpartisan:
Co-anchor Amna Nawaz: State and local officials in Minneapolis are outraged tonight after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a woman there. Federal officials accuse that woman of trying to run over officers with a vehicle, claiming the shooting was in self-defense.
Co-anchor Geoff Bennett: The city’s mayor says the video tells a different story….
Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Nationwide unrest challenging Iran’s theocracy saw protesters flood the streets in the country’s capital and its second-largest city Saturday night and into Sunday morning, crossing the two-week mark as an outside monitoring group said at least 116 people had been killed.
With the internet down in Iran and phone lines cut off, gauging the demonstrations from abroad has grown more difficult. But according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which relies on a network of contacts inside the country, the death toll from clashes between protests and Iran’s security forces has climbed steadily, and more than 2,600 others have been detained over the last two weeks.
Faced with its most significant challenge in years, Iran’s theocratic rulers have issued increasingly stern threats to what it claims are agitators being influenced by the U.S. and Israel — and answered threats of a U.S. intervention by President Trump with corresponding threats of their own.
Iran’s parliament speaker warned the U.S. military and Israel would be “legitimate targets” if America strikes the Islamic Republic, as threatened by President Trump. Qalibaf made the threat as lawmakers rushed the dais in the Iranian parliament, shouting: “Death to America!”
Three Democratic congressional lawmakers who represent Minnesota said they were denied access to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis on Saturday.
Reps. Angie Craig, Ilhan Omar and Kelly Morrison told reporters that they were initially allowed into the building, but then informed they must leave.
“Shortly after we were let in, two officials came in and said that they received a message that we were no longer allowed to be in the building, and that they were rescinding the invitation to come in and declining any further access from the building,” Omar told reporters while standing outside the facility.
Added Craig, “The response was that, since the funding for this center came from the one ‘Big, Beautiful Bill,’ not the congressional appropriations bill, that they were denying our access.”
The new cellphone video from the point of view of the ICE agent involved in the shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota blew up all the false narratives the Democrats were spreading about the shooting.
Yet, not only did the Democrats seem to want to ignore reality, they manipulated it with what they were tweeting out to their followers, as they stoked division with their X account. They left out the fact that she hit the ICE agent in a despicable graphic they posted. That’s a rather critical part of the story to leave out. Instead, they suggested she said something non-confrontational, and then there were “gunshots.”
Now comes the next part — the part they seem to have been agitating for: the agitators in the streets over the “murder.” It doesn’t matter that the facts don’t support the lie. The Democrats don’t care about reality.
Civil liberties and migrant-rights groups called for nationwide rallies on Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of an activist in Minnesota by a U.S. immigration agent, as state authorities opened their own investigation of the killing.

Hundreds of rowdy anti-ICE protesters shouting curses descended on a Minneapolis hotel Friday night, where they believed federal agents were staying after the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good.
The frenzied crowd flooded the outside of the Hilton Canopy Hotel — and some parts of the interior — blowing whistles and banging on drums while chanting “f–k ICE” and waving various signs calling for the federal agency to “GET THE F–K OUT OF MN,” according to social media videos and the Daily Mail.
“They need to get the hell out of our city,” a pink-haired demonstrator, 27, told the outlet.
“I don’t know for sure they are here but we will do whatever it takes to keep Minneapolis safe.”
