The death of an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this past weekend occurred right near an “autism clinic” at the center of an alleged multi-million-dollar Somali fraud scheme. The incident comes amid increased scrutiny of the state’s broken and shady welfare operations.

Leftist demonstrator and Department of Veterans Affairs nurse Alex Pretti, 37, was purportedly shot and killed by a federal agent on Saturday after seemingly impeding federal officials’ immigration enforcement efforts in the city. According to local officials and local and national reporting, the incident took place on or near Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.

“Not only are these locations often targets of violence, but the mere presence of firearms (and the implicit threat they communicate) could chill individuals’ peaceful exercise of their speech rights.”

A number of Democratic attorneys general, including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, have previously supported a legal challenge defending restrictions on carrying firearms at political events, including protests. The resurfacing of this comes amid debate over a weekend shooting in Minneapolis, where an armed agitator was shot and killed by federal agents.

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis in response to the ongoing civil unrest in the city over immigration enforcement operations.

The president also said he had a “very good call” with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz regarding working together to remove criminal illegal aliens from the state.

“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill expressed relief after President Donald Trump announced Monday he would send border czar Tom Homan to handle immigration enforcement in Minnesota after Department of Homeland Security agents shot and killed a second U.S. citizen there.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said in an interview that the move was “a positive step to get the situation under control” while calling for a “full and transparent investigation” into the two Minneapolis shootings.

“There needs to be greater coordination and cooperation between federal, state, and local officials — which is why sanctuary policies need to end and local officials must work with ICE so they can do their jobs without interference,” he said. “It is paramount that we work to keep the public and law enforcement safe, while respecting the rights of everyone involved, including the right to peacefully protest.”

French lawmakers to vote on social media ban for children– www.channelnewsasia.com

PARIS: French lawmakers on Monday (Jan 26) were set to vote on draft legislation to ban social media for under-15s, an effort championed by President Emmanuel Macron as a way to protect children from excessive screen time.

The legislation, which also provides for a ban on mobile phones in high schools, follows Australia banning social media for under-16s in December, a world first.

As social media has grown around the world, so has concern that too much screen time is arresting child development and contributing to declining mental health in minors.

“The emotions of our children and teenagers are not for sale or to be manipulated, either by American platforms or Chinese algorithms,” Macron said in a video broadcast on Saturday.

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.”

“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 Investigating Minnesota Anti-ICE Signal Chats– legalinsurrection.com

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.
