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.

Minnesota police FINALLY fight back: Cops hit violent anti-ICE mob with tear gas, arrests outside hotel supposedly housing feds– www.theblaze.com

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.

It’s the last thing that should’ve happened, but here we are. Minnesota is now a national spectacle after Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol over the weekend. 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. We don’t know that—some of the Border Patrol agents had bodycams. We’ll get back to you once they’re analyzed.

The anti-ICE unrest in the Democrat-controlled state is rapidly escalating into a high-stakes budget confrontation that could trigger a partial government shutdown.

In just days, Democrats in the upper chamber have coalesced around a strategy to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), placing immigration enforcement squarely at the center of looming government funding negotiations.

A Black pastor warned from the pulpit that his congregation will not tolerate activists storming worship services.

This, after a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) disrupted a service at another church more than a week ago.

Anti-ICE activist William Kelly interrupted a Minnesota church service and berated police, shouting “traitors” and demanding to know “How does it feel to protect a pedophile?” During his sermon, the Rev. Patrick L. Wooden, Sr. referenced the incident and warned anyone who is considering the same thing. He called out former CNN host Don Lemon.

Speaking to CNN host Jake Tapper, a Minneapolis bookstore owner compared deportation centers with Nazi concentration camps, and went as far as to claim, “I’m not saying they are putting people in ovens — yet.”

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 Minnesota National Guard has been caught handing out coffee and donuts to anti-ICE mobs after being deployed to the state, raising serious questions about whose side state authorities are on as federal law enforcement faces escalating violence.

Instead of maintaining order or protecting federal property from the lawless mobs that have besieged Minneapolis, Guard troops are now appearing to cater to the very protesters disrupting immigration enforcement operations.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz activated the National Guard weeks ago as protests surged following intensified federal immigration operations in the Twin Cities.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) spurred outrage this week after suggesting during an interview that residents may use lethal force against masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law.

Arizona’s largest police organization blasted her comments on Friday, calling them “reckless, irresponsible and dangerous to the safety of all law enforcement professionals in this state.”

During an interview with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik earlier this week, Mayes stated that the law allows individuals to defend themselves with lethal force if they reasonably believe their life is in danger, particularly when facing unidentifiable individuals in plain clothes wearing masks.

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.

While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where leftist agitators screamed obscenities and threatened young Christian families as they left Sunday services.

At roughly the same time on Sunday when the hoard of disrupters — including Don Lemon — burst into a worship service in St. Paul, agitators in D.C. were screaming “F-ck off, Nazi scum” at moms and kids as they left Christ Church on Pennsylvania Avenue. Christ Church in D.C. is an offshoot of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which is led by Pastor Doug Wilson. The D.C. congregation has routinely garnered the attention of left-wing agitators since its first worship service last year, which was attended by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Jane Fonda, while wearing a shirt saying “resit,” has appointed herself as the authority figure on right versus wrong. The only problem with that is that she had a lot of feelings, but they were all based on lies.

You may recall the time the Trump Administration deported legal American citizens. And if you don’t recall that, it’s because it never happened. It only happened in Fonda’s imagination, which is where the left often comes up with their “facts.” You may also recall the time ICE kidnapped a bunch of people, and if you don’t, it’s because it only happened in Fonda’s mind.

To her credit, there was a shooting, as she said, “They’re shooting people.” The only problem with that stance is that she failed to say that the shooting happened as a response to someone allegedly committing assault with a deadly weapon. Unclear what she would do if someone tried to run her over, but you do the math.

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.

Despite that explanation, they were allegedly detained, and one detective was initially refused entry because he was carrying his service weapon.

Less than two weeks into the new Virginia legislative session, and Democrats have unleashed one of the most aggressive progressive policy blitzes in the commonwealth’s history. Newly sworn-in Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Lt. Gov.

Lest we forget the election controversy of Jay Jones, who it was revealed in 2022 that he had sent texts fantasizing about “two bullets to the head” for then-Republican minority leader Todd Gilbert, even musing about his children’s deaths.
He also allegedly made anti-police remarks and talked about urinating on his opponents’ graves. Spanberger called those texts “disgusting” but refused to withdraw her endorsement of Jones, but fast forward: Voters elected him anyway. Now he’s Virginia’s top law enforcement officer.
