In case you needed one for the level of proof, which you didn’t, here is reason 10 million as to why the left is the party of intolerance.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday on whether or not states should have the right to ban males from female sports. This should not be controversial. In fact, it should not even be an issue to begin with. But you see, the left doesn’t live by this little thing called “truth.” This is why they go to great lengths to force everyone to affirm their ideology, despite it not being rooted in reality.

When you are dealing with intolerable people, safety becomes jeopardized. So, while Riley Gaines was advocating in favor of girls’ sports across the nation, she had no choice but to wrap her three-month-old baby in a bulletproof blanket. She did this because the left is not the side of compassion, as they are anything but.

“You have a three-month-old baby that you have to wrap in a bulletproof blanket because of the threats that were present there.”

“They’re giving the middle finger to my little baby girl again, who you have to wrap in like a little bulletproof vest.”

Wisconsin activist Judge Hannah Dugan has finally stepped down, bowing to intense pressure from Republican lawmakers ready to impeach her over a felony conviction tied to obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

Dugan resigned on Saturday after being convicted on December 19, 2025, for aiding an illegal alien in evading federal officers, a move that sparked a GOP push for her removal.

For hardworking taxpayers in Wisconsin, this scandal is a direct hit to public trust and a financial burden as legal proceedings and potential impeachment processes rack up costs to the state.

It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

“Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

The Kristi Noem Impeachment Show is earning less than rave reviews from some Democrats.

“There’s a frustration with all these impeachments. Now, Noem is just soup du jour. So … yes, there is a general frustration with us,” a Democratic legislator whose name was not used told Axios.

“It’s all performative bulls–t,” the Democrat said. “And I think at some point people want to focus on affordability and not performative bulls–t.”

“My thought on this is that I’m absolutely not doing this. It’s stupid,” another Democrat said.

Former CNN host Jim Acosta furiously cursed over “CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil” stating “We love America” as one of its “five simple principles” during a Thursday episode of “I’ve Had It.”

“[W]e make no apologies for saying so,” the show’s X account posted on Jan. 2. Acosta suggested on the podcast that the statement should go without saying and used variations of the F-word five times in under one minute.

The left will blame the ICE agent for the shooting even though, once again, the agent legitimately felt in fear for his life.

Instead of summarizing the incident, here are the facts from DHS:

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.

In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

As Minneapolis police failed to respond to violent unrest Wednesday night, rioters smashed into ICE vehicles, ripped out weapons lockers, and — according to video posted online — made off with a rifle and ammunition before fleeing the scene. The video shows the tattooed face of a man making off with what appears to be a rifle case removed from the vehicle.

Rioters took to the streets with impunity Wednesday night after the second officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis in the past week. A federal law enforcement officer was forced to shoot an illegal alien from Venezuela after he allegedly violently assaulted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer attempting to make an arrest. ICE officials say the officer was attacked by three people armed with a snow shovel and broom handle and fired “a defensive shot to defend his life,” Breitbart’s Paul Bois reported.

Idiocy. That word best characterizes the national conversation regarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led crackdown on illegal immigrants. Democratic politicians and activist protesters are undermining the rule of law and the safety of federal law enforcement. But ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents and officers could also improve their interactions with the public.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is in a very special category: black, Muslim, and a refugee from Somalia.

It’s a triple-banger, like Karine Jean-Pierre, always touted as black, lesbian, and Haitian. Never question their prominence on the merits. It’s a born-on-third-base situation in national politics and media.

So, when Omar submits herself to television interviews from liberal networks, she knows she can say inflammatory things and not be seriously challenged.

Another violent attack on federal agents pushes the Insurrection Act from threat to necessity.

President Trump: If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ICE, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state.

Fox News host Griff Jenkins told Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey point-blank on Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are in his city to detain illegal immigrant criminals.

Frey called on ICE to “get the f*** out” of Minneapolis in the aftermath of Renee Good’s death, who was shot by an ICE agent after she appeared to accelerate her car toward the officer during an enforcement operation.

Jenkins and Frey sparred on “Fox & Friends” while the host noted that ICE operations have ramped up across the U.S. to arrest illegal immigrants who crossed the border during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

This story starts with the report of a Department of Homeland Security employee who believes himself/herself to be a heroic “whistleblower” who leaked — doxxed — the identities, addresses, and other personal information from government personnel files of thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officials to a pro-open borders website. Leftwing anti-Trump media outlet The Daily Beast was given the earliest word of the planned leak from the so-called Ice List. The six-month-old website, run by a Netherlands-based third party, however, told the Beast that right before the story on government documents outing the agents was set to run, the website was stopped in its tracks by a sustained Russian-based DDOS attack.

The “love is love” crowd is turning increasingly hateful — and violent.

On Wednesday, an Immigration & Customs Enforcement agent was ambushed in Minneapolis by two suspects while the officer was trying to apprehend a violent illegal immigrant, the Department of Homeland Security said.

In a statement posted on X, DHS said that at about 6:50 p.m. Minneapolis time federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop of “an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022” when the subject fled in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car.

The White House hilariously trolled disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after he delivered a botched TV address urging Minnesotans to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are merely doing their jobs.

In the farcically glitchy, live broadcast Wednesday, Walz’s jumbled audio spoke over itself, making his statements sound more incoherent than usual.

The White House reacted by lampooning Walz and calling him a “loser” and a “buffoon.”

Federal agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deployed less-than-lethal crowd control measures after an ICE agent was forced to open fire in self-defense.

The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday, when ICE agents made contact with a Venezuelan illegal alien who was released into the country under the Biden Administration in 2022. The subject attempted to flee in a vehicle, but soon crashed into a parked car before continuing to flee on foot.

An agent soon caught up with the subject and became locked in a “violent” struggle, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — which oversees ICE and CBP — announced in a statement. Two additional individuals then came out of a nearby apartment building and proceeded to attack the agent with a shovel and a broom handle, DHS said.

A new video posted Wednesday by Minnesota’s scandal-ridden Democrat governor, Tim Walz, is blowing up on social media. In it, Walz is equal parts smug, condescending, and deceitful as he makes the absurd, repulsive claim that federal immigration officials are targeting “people of color” and “dragging pregnant women down the street.”

Offering no proof at all, Walz goes on to claim that Minnesotans have been marked for retribution for peacefully protesting against ICE agents as they carry out their duties. And he has a message for President Donald Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem: “End this occupation. You’ve done enough.”

Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin.

The family of Renee Good has hired a civil rights attorney who previously represented the family of George Floyd as they prepare to file claims against federal officials over her death.

Good’s wife, parents, and siblings have retained Antonio M. Romanucci, a founding partner of the Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin. Romanucci was among the attorneys who represented the Floyd family following George Floyd’s death in 2020, a case against the City of Minneapolis and four police officers that resulted in $27 million, a record settlement for a case involving claims of police misconduct.

“What happened to Renée is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America,” the law firm said in a statement to The Washington Post. The firm added that Good’s family wants “to honor her life with progress toward a kinder and more civil America. They do not want her used as a political pawn, but rather as an agent of peace for all.”

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who was rammed by a vehicle driven by anti-ICE activist Renee Good during a January 7 enforcement operation in Minneapolis is now reportedly suffering from internal bleeding, according to federal officials.

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent involved in the incident, was initially transported to the hospital and released the same day.

However, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told CBS News that Ross is now being treated for internal bleeding in his torso.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed the injury, though officials have not disclosed how severe the bleeding is.

More than five dozen House Democrats have now signed on to articles of impeachment targeting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, escalating a partisan push against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) confirmed Wednesday that 67 Democrats are co-sponsoring the impeachment resolution, according to her office.

Axios first reported the growing co-sponsor count earlier this week.

Kelly announced her intent to impeach Noem last week following a fatal encounter in Minneapolis in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good, 37.

The Department of Justice is looking into ties between Renee and Becca Good and far-left activist groups that have been courting mayhem in the state as both the fraud investigation and federal efforts to remove illegal immigrant criminals ramp up.

Six federal prosecutors resigned on Tuesday rather than conduct an investigation into Becca Good, the activist wife of Renee Good, who was killed while ramming her car into an ICE agent last week. Becca Good was outside the car at the time of the shooting filming the action between her wife and the officer while taunting law enforcement.

The New York Times reports that “the Justice Department launched an investigation to examine ties between Ms. Good and her wife, Becca, and several groups that have been monitoring and protesting the conduct of immigration agents in recent weeks.” These prosecutors were reluctant to look into Good, who said after the shooting that it was all her fault.

GENEVA: The United Nations demanded on Tuesday (Jan 13) a swift and independent investigation after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a protester in the US city of Minneapolis last week.

The UN rights office voiced deep concern at the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot dead in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the Midwestern city last Wednesday.

“Under international human rights law, the intentional use of lethal force is only permissible as a measure of last resort against an individual representing an imminent threat to life,” UN rights office spokesman Jeremy Laurence told reporters in Geneva.

Independent journalists Nick Sortor and Cam Higby were physically attacked by a violent mob during an anti-ICE demonstration outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Sunday night, after a far-left streamer threatened to track and harass them.

According to Sortor, agitators scuffled with them whenever they left their vehicle to film clashes between law enforcement and the anti-ICE militants.

“We did our best not to engage with them,” Higby stated on X.  “Obviously they repeatedly initiated physical contact with us.”

At one point, an aggressive masked female agitator got in front of Sortor,  holding up a sign to block him from filming. Sortor snatched the sign from her and threw it on the ground.   The woman continued hounding the journalist, throwing punches and trying to grab his phone away. Sortor continued filming while pushing her away with his free hand. He pulled off her mask so she could be identified and face consequences for the assault, Higby explained later on X.

Federal agents deployed flash bangs, tear gas, and pepper balls to disperse the increasingly violent mob, which allowed the two to escape to their vehicle, a white Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

The next step from the Executive Order in November where such a designation was announced (White House).

On January 13, 2026, the U.S. labeled the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood—Al Jama’a Al Islamiyya—as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, while designating its Egyptian and Jordanian branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. This stems from a November 2025 executive order by President Trump, based on evidence of their financial, logistical, and ideological support for Hamas. Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE endorsed the step, though the Brotherhood called it politically motivated and plans legal challenges. The designations impose asset freezes, travel bans, and penalties for material support, marking a targeted escalation in counterterrorism without labeling the entire group.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

It was unclear how extensive the bleeding was. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ross’ injury, but has not yet responded to CBS News’ requests for more information. This story will be updated as we learn more.

Videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident.

Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents.

Liberal protesters have descended upon Minneapolis following the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good — and after viewing footage from the protests, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales can’t help but get “civil war vibes.”

“I do take them seriously that they want violence,” Gonzales says. “OK, I want to be clear. I do take them seriously that they are trying to take down America from within and that they do very much want a civil war.”

“Over the weekend, you’ve got more civil unrest, once again, you have all of these people putting their lives on the line to protest and obstruct ICE agents who are there to round up criminals. Like that’s all there is to it. They are there to cause a problem for the law enforcement officials who went out there to round up actual criminals,” she continues.

One clip from the weekend protests even shows a man screaming that he plans to buy a gun and learn how to use it because it’s “time for armed resistance against the United States of America.”
