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.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez pressed attorneys for Minnesota and the Justice Department on Monday about the state’s claims that federal government violated the Tenth Amendment by surging Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to Minneapolis.
Lindsey Middlecamp, a special counsel at the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, reportedly described ICE’s deployment as an “unlawful occupation” at the outset of the hearing.
She argued that the the administration of President Donald Trump is using the ICE deployment to pressure the state on policy.
“They are not letting the courts work this stuff out,” Middlecamp said, according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney. “What they’re trying to get in court … they’re trying to get that same thing by putting 3,000 heavily armed agents on the streets of Minnesota.”
As evidence of alleged coercion, the state’s attorneys presented a Jan. 24 letter from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, to consider three major policy changes.
Bondi urged him to share Minnesota’s records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs with the federal government; to repeal “sanctuary” policies restricting state and local law enforcement from assisting federal officers; and to allow the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to access voter rolls to confirm Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal laws.
Noncitizens demonstrating against the United States and Israel at U.S. campuses scored a legal victory over the Trump administration last week, as a Massachusetts federal judge halted the deportation of international students and faculty.
The case of American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, naming Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the lead plaintiff, concerns a State Department policy that allowed for the deportation of international students and academic faculty involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations that often involved anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment.
In a Democrat thugocracy, you can arrest a President or a 70 year old grandmother silently praying outside an abortion clinic, but attacking a church? All good.

There are multiple lawsuits ongoing involving the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota (Operation Metro Surge), but the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals just pressed pause on one of them, issuing a stay pending appeal in the case titled Tincher v. Noem.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the DOJ a stay of a lower court’s order that restricted agents in Minnesota, finding the limits were too broad and vague.
Judge Raymond Gruender partially dissented.
The stay will remain in effect until the Eighth Circuit fully reviews the case and issues its final decision. I don’t know when that will happen, but I read that the court expedited the case.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has confirmed that he would support articles of impeachment against Democrat-aligned activist federal judges who have repeatedly overstepped their constitutional authority to undermine President Donald Trump.
Johnson signaled that the House may move forward with the effort after months of growing frustration with what conservatives describe as judicial activism.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Johnson was asked about Senate Republicans urging the House to pursue impeachment proceedings against specific judges.
Former special counsel Jack Smith couldn’t answer how much in tax dollars went to confidential sources in his nearly two-year investigation of President Donald Trump.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pushed Smith on the topic during the committee hearing on Thursday. Jordan noted that at least $20,000 went to a single source to review video and photos of the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, as part of Smith’s investigation into the incident.
Smith answered that he couldn’t remember if there were more such expenses.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is not having a good day today. He’s testifying before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss his investigations of President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, and to say it’s not going well for him is an understatement. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has already systematically dismantled Smith’s credibility by focusing on one of the January 6th Committee’s most explosive and dubious claims.
An appeals court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision in Minnesota that placed severe restrictions on federal immigration agents when it comes to handling violent and disruptive agitators.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued an administrative stay, pausing a lower court’s preliminary injunction that had limited the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against protesters and “observers.”
Wednesday’s decision comes amid Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in early December 2025, which has deployed over 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 10,000 individuals, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.
Former special counsel Jack Smith testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, January 22.
Smith was appointed by former Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and the January 6 Capitol riot.
In October 2025 it was revealed Smith had tracked phone records of Republican members of Congress in his “Arctic Frost” investigation.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is set to testify publicly before the House Judiciary Committee this Thursday. The former special counsel’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee follows the closed-door interview Smith sat for last month as part of Chair Jim Jordan’s investigation into the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department. A transcript of that deposition exposed several disturbing details concerning the targeting of Donald Trump, but also revealed how much remains hidden from the public.
While it is unlikely the House Judiciary Committee’s January 22, 2026 hearing will fully — or even mostly — address the totality of the weaponization of the justice department, or Smith’s complicity in that abuse of power, posing the following questions will provide a start.

The ongoing scandal regarding Minnesota’s welfare-industrial complex demonstrates the extent to which government-created graft has “hidden” in front of the nation’s noses for not just years but decades. Another report released just before Christmas illustrates the depths of those fraudulent payments.
Last summer, I wrote here about a report by Louisiana’s legislative auditor highlighting nearly $10 million in Medicaid payments that state made on behalf of deceased beneficiaries between February 2019 and last March. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most recent report shows that this type of government waste and abuse — or, depending on one’s perspective, fraud by insurance companies, who receive payments for “covering” dead people — occurs with regularity nationwide.
These are the best liberal media stories. The ones where the publication unintentionally exposes the opposite of what they’re trying to argue. Of course, The New York Times wanted to drum up some narrative about the Trump administration’s struggles with the courts. The funny part is a) Trump knew this beforehand, which is why his legal team is prepared to appeal all the things, and b) it showed that the lower courts are stacked with illiberal radicals, some of whom think they are the executive.
Twitchy had it first yesterday, and, well, have a laugh:

You can begin to understand why the swamp fought Musk and DOGE so hard.
HUD officials say the majority of some $5 billion in fraudulent rental aid in 2024 went to New York, California and DC — though dead people from all 50 states got paid.
HUD just found $5 BILLION+ in FRAUDULENT payments in 2024 alone, under Biden.
Payment error of over 11% PERCENT.
A federal judge in New York blocked the Trump administration from freezing $10 billion in funding for childcare and other social services in five Democrat-led states despite recent revelations of massive fraud perpetrated through fake money laundering daycare operations.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) explained that it was pausing the funding because it had “reason to believe” those states were funneling money to people living in the U.S. illegally.
Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said the five states — Minnesota, California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York — had met a legal threshold “to protect the status quo” for 14 days while arguments are made in court.
“Federal district court judge rules taxpayers must fund infinite refugee daycare scams,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller noted.
“This is not a legitimate system. This is not democracy,” he declared.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith defended his conduct before House lawmakers on Wednesday, insisting behind closed doors that politics had “no role” in the “investigations” and criminal charges he brought against President Donald Trump.
Smith appeared for a deposition with the House Judiciary Committee.
During the hearing, Republicans pressed Smith over his handling of the two federal cases targeting Trump.
One of the cases related to the 2020 election, and another was concerning the alleged retention of classified documents.
Portions of Smith’s opening remarks show the Biden administration prosecutor attempting to portray the cases as strictly legal decisions.
Former special counsel Jack Smith told members of Congress that his team had evidence that President Donald Trump tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Smith’s case against the president began when former Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed him to lead two Justice Department investigations into Trump: the mishandling of classified documents and his post-2020 election conduct.
From The Associated Press:
Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door interview on Wednesday that his team of investigators “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Donald Trump had criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of his opening statement obtained by The Associated Press.
He also said investigators had accrued “powerful evidence” that Trump broke the law by hoarding classified documents from his first term as president at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and by obstructing government efforts to recover the records.
The FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022, but did it anyway after pressure from then-President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, according to newly uncovered emails.
Emails released by Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office show that officials at the FBI and DOJ communicated about FBI concerns about the warrant in the months leading up to the August raid.
In one June 1 email an unidentified FBI assistant special agent in charge wrote to FBI official Anthony Riedlinger, “Very little has been developed related to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents.”
“[FBI Washington Field Office] has been drafting a Search Warrant affidavit related to these potential boxes, but has some concerns that the information is single source, has not been corroborated, and may be dated. DOJ CES opines, however, that the SWs meet the probable cause standard.” The same agent described the “potential boxes” as “presumably of the same type as were sent back to NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] in January.”
The Wisconsin Supreme Court blocked a bid by the state’s Democrat attorney general to effectively sidestep a U.S. Supreme Court ruling involving a Wisconsin-based Catholic charity.
In its Monday order, the Badger State’s highest court affirmed that the Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB) and its sub-entities are eligible for a sought-after tax exemption status that would allow them to not contribute to Wisconsin’s unemployment system. The decision came months after SCOTUS handed down its ruling on the matter, which favored the Christian organization.
“You’d think Wisconsin would take a 9-0 Supreme Court loss as a hint to stop digging,” Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Vice President and Senior Counsel Eric Rassbach said in a statement. “But apparently Attorney General Kaul and his staff are gluttons for punishment. Thankfully, the Wisconsin Supreme Court put an end to the state’s tomfoolery and confirmed that Catholic Charities is entitled to the exemption it already won.”
CCB first pursued the exemption in 2016 but was repeatedly denied in the years that followed by the state and ultimately, the Wisconsin court system. In rejecting the group’s exemption request, the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed with the state’s claim that the CCB doesn’t qualify because it didn’t establish that it operates for a primarily religious purpose.
The Trump administration blasted U.S. District Judge Judith Levy over the weekend for her “truly wicked” praise and deferential treatment of a predator who stole into the United States multiple times and brutalized an American citizen.
Edys Renan Membreño Díaz, a 30-year-old Honduran national, is presently serving between six and 15 years in a Michigan state prison for raping and sodomizing a woman he knew was incapable of giving consent, who has cerebral palsy and cognitive delays. Díaz, who moved to Michigan in 2021, raped the victim on two occasions: on July 15 and July 17, 2022, leaving her with injuries.
