In the face of an 8,000% increase in death threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement officers, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking the public to report activities that are endangering its agents.

“The public can report doxing and harassment against ICE officers by calling 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or by completing ICE’s online tip form,” DHS said Monday in a news release reporting the surge in death threats and a 1,300% spike in assaults against ICE officers:

“Our law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods.”

Today, the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus—Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ), Andy Harris (R-MD), Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), Kat Cammack (R-FL), and Bob Onder (R-MO)—thanked President Trump for the strong pro-life actions taken by his Administration on the week of the 53rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision:

“President Trump has acted decisively to ensure that hard-earned taxpayer dollars are not used to bankroll the abortion industry domestically or internationally, or to finance the barbaric practice of using the body parts of aborted babies for research. The President has also taken steps to consider better research options than human embryonic stem cells and to protect conscience rights for health care providers and patients. We thank President Trump for his pro-life leadership and look forward to continuing to work with his Administration in the second session of the 119th Congress to provide unborn children, their mothers, and their families with the support and protection they deserve.”

President Donald Trump announced Monday morning that he had a productive call with Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., who signaled “cooperation” regarding the ongoing chaos and lawlessness in Minneapolis caused by left-wing agitators obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” Trump wrote on social media. “I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future.”

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (In preparation for a whirlwind book tour, the Sine Qua Non Sequitur is compiling a comprehensive list of foreign translations of “wainscoting.”)

We’ve been hearing it seemingly forever. Donald Trump’s a fascist. Trump’s a dictator. Trump’s targeting those who disagree with him.

If only.

OK, I’m kidding about that. Sort of. My Minneapolis fatigue is making me a bit cranky.

Democrats are having a field day creating an alternative reality that — once again — blames law enforcement for everything. Those paying close attention will remember that we were just discussing this… yesterday. I wrote that the Democrats really got going with their hatred of law enforcement “when Barack Obama was shooting off his mouth about the police during his vapid vanity presidency. ”

Eric Schwalm, who identified himself as a former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, says the tactics being employed in Minneapolis by leftists agigators are reminiscent of insurgency tactics he witnessed in Afghanistan.

His comments came in response to the reported infiltration of a Signal group chat being used by leftists to track and thwart Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis, Fox News reported.

Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams, who is on the ground in Minneapolis, posted Sunday on social media, “I’ve covered a lot of protests. Never seen anything quite like this. Organized is an understatement.”

MN Police Chief says it doesn’t matter if Alex Pretti shooting was justified, because people are in their feelings over iCE– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Over the weekend, during another incident of impeding ICE operations at the encouragement of Minnesota Democrat officials, Alex Pretti was shot by border patrol. This would be a good point for an investigation into what happened and why it happened. However, when you have elected officials calling it an “assassination,” and the police chief saying it doesn’t matter if it was justified because what really matters is that people are upset, a fair investigation is impossible. And that pretty much explains where we’re at in Minnesota.

Fox News’s Bill Megulin spoke to sources in the Department of Homeland Security, who said it was a terrible decision for Pretti to show up with a gun and inject himself into a federal law enforcement operation. However…

These sources all believe this is going to end up being what they call a “bad shoot”, a “shitty” situation that happened in seconds where agents likely heard “gun!”, then the disarmed firearm may have had an accidental discharge that spooked the agents, and they shot. The agents do not have the luxury of multiple slow motion angles – and had to make split second decisions.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Benny Johnson that the agency opened an investigation into anti-ICE Signal chats exposed by independent journalist Cam Higby.

The chats revealed plots allegedly involving interference with ICE operations in Minnesota.

Johnson asked Patel about the operation:

JOHNSON: And this has now been exposed with some of these Signal chat leaks. The independent journalist who had done the exposing was just on right before you, and wanted to ask about this. He says that he has submitted some of the information that was available. There are top level leaders inside of the political infrastructure of Minnesota who are on these chats, and obviously you can’t conspire in order to attack federal agents. This is something that is at scale. They have license plate readers. They’re able to identify these agents. They’re able to dox them, find out where they’re sleeping at night. Is any of this legal, Kash?

PATEL: That’s exactly what we’re investigating. Look again, the First Amendment. You want to go peacefully protest, do it. You want to bring your firearm under the law, you’re allowed to bring it, as long as you don’t incite violence and or commit another crime in doing so.

What we’re asking people to do, what I’m asking people to do, is on the ground in Minnesota, is why would you bring a firearm in a situation that is so volatile right now, where so many arrests have been made, where so many people are coordinating to attack and expose federal law enforcement officers, that is just not smart. It is just not going to lead to a good scenario. And so we need everybody to tamp down, obviously, on that side.

But you’re right. Some of the best reporting has been through you, and I think Mr. Higby was just on before, before I was and other individuals.

On Monday’s CNN This Morning, CNN Guest and WIRED contributor Garrett Graff praised Minnesota protestors for supposedly being non-violent and said viral videos only showed federal law enforcement being violent. In reality, many other videos have shown protesters being violent, including a riot outside a hotel where federal law enforcement was staying on Sunday night into Monday morning.

The segment was a part of CNN ‘Breaking News’ coverage pertaining to the shooting of Alex Pretti and the following unrest.

Host Audie Cornish introduced a clip of FBI Director Kash Patel that talked about the need to “quell these riots” amid a trend across the country of “protests turning into violent scenarios and people attacking law enforcement.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has emerged as President Donald Trump’s “quiet hammer,” a source close to the White House told Breitbart News for an in-depth profile of the world’s premier spy agency in the first year back in office for Trump.

This source specifically pointed to how Trump sent Ratcliffe down to Venezuela just 12 days after the daring mission in which U.S. forces captured now-ousted leader Nicolas Maduro. Ratcliffe met with acting Venezuelan president Delcy Rodriguez, Trump’s highest-ranking and first Cabinet-level official to visit the nation since Maduro’s capture.

“Ratcliffe has become Trump’s quiet hammer,” this source close to the White House said. “He goes in, accomplishes whatever mission the President gave him, then disappears back into the shadows. The Agency seems to have adopted the same approach, so Trump actually deserves credit for turning the CIA into an instrument of America First power.”

Radicals swarmed a hotel in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on Monday night, working under the presumption that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was inside. While some in the mob appeared keen at the outset to simply scream, bang their pans, and impotently blow whistles in protest of CBP and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, others decided to get violent.

The Maple Grove Police Department, which responded around 8 p.m. to reports of a protest at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, demonstrated that it has a lower tolerance for attacks on law enforcement than their local counterparts in Minneapolis — and the proof manifested in tear gas and arrests.

Then, FBI Director Kash Patel and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doled out some terrible takes on the incident, further creating chaos. It’s already bad enough that the Left thinks this was an execution, and some Department of Homeland Security folks are portraying Pretti as a domestic terrorist gearing for mass carnage.

Jamie Schwesnedl, owner of Moon Palace Books, joined Tapper to discuss the “economic blackout” to protest ICE. The craziest part is not that he said what he said, it’s that it was so extreme that even Tapper appeared physically uncomfortable by it.

According to Schwesnedl, “we can’t do business as usual right now anyway because our city has been invaded by masked gunmen kidnapping family members and friends and neighbors of ours to send them to concentration camps. Additionally, there are a lot of businesses in our area that have staff or customers or owners who are afraid to come to work, afraid to come in and shop. People are closing down today, and we felt like it wouldn’t be kind or fair for us to stay open. So we’re closing in solidarity to help send a message.”

The moment came late Thursday afternoon when the GOP-controlled House of Representatives killed an amendment put forward by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., to a FY2026 government spending bill.

Anti-ICE agitators who stormed a Minneapolis-area church in January terrorized worshippers, blocked parents from reaching their children and forced congregants to flee during a Sunday service, according to a newly filed federal affidavit.

The affidavit, submitted last week by a Homeland Security Investigations agent, details the Jan. 18 invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, where a left-wing mob disrupted services while protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

According to the filing, the agitators “intimidated, harassed, oppressed, and terrorized the parishioners, including young children,” turning a worship service into what witnesses described as a frightening and chaotic scene.
