ICE Watch

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has joined the anti-ICE crusade, and is getting the state government involved through a new portal to help people track ICE.

“We are going to be standing up a portal so people can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people. If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out.”

On X I responded to a tweet about it by Jesse Kelly by saying:

“The Governor of New Jersey may not be legally obligated to help federal immigration enforcement, but she has no right to interfere with it, which is what she is doing on a massive scale. An example needs to be set”

New York’s anti-Trump Democrat Attorney General Letitia James has launched a bold initiative to crack down on federal immigration raids across the state.

James announced that her office will deploy legal observers to document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during raids in New York State.

These observers, equipped with purple vests, will act as neutral witnesses, gathering real-time information to assess whether federal agents operate within legal boundaries.

In order to keep their community “safe” from ICE and border patrol, people in Minnesota… have turned into ICE and border patrol. They’ve created checkpoints, checked license plates, and decided who is and isn’t desirable to come into their community. The difference is that while ICE goes after criminals, these hosers are going after the people who go after the criminals.

I know “hoser” is more of a Canadian insult, but Minnesota is close enough. Plus, a case can be made to trade Minnesota for Alberta.

As reported by local news outlets, this roadblock is due to “public safety measures” to prevent ICE from enforcing immigration law.

I was like, ‘Wow, we got folks out there taking care of us, looking out for us,’” Minneapolis resident Wade Haynes said. “It’s good.”

“We need to keep our neighbors safe,” resident Kelly Piatt said.“We will be doing this again.”

It’s similar to CHAZ/CHOP in Seattle. In 2020, leftists took control of city streets to create what they called an “autonomous zone.” Basically, they claimed they seceded from America. It led to people getting murdered when ambulances weren’t allowed through, and a family of one of the victims was just awarded $30,000,000 from the city of Seattle for allowing it to happen.

Police have revealed a new detail about what led to a wild brawl between an adult male with a MAGA hat and apparent high school students at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Texas earlier this week.

Buda Police said 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle was charged Tuesday with two counts of assault causing bodily injury, which are Class A misdemeanors.

‘We want to be thorough in this investigation to make sure that everybody is held accountable that needs to be held accountable.’

Many of the officials supporting the nearly 250 U.S. athletes competing in this month’s Winter Olympics arrived in Italy last weekend to a greeting they may not have expected: Hundreds of demonstrators packed a square in central Milan to protest the reported plan to deploy U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during the Games.

The first events in the 18-day competition, which will be shared by Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Italian Alps, begin Thursday and the opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Against that background, International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry called the agents’ involvement “distracting” and “sad.”

A professor at Bemidji State had his students reenact the 1945 Iwo Jima flag-raising to protest ICE deportation efforts, and it’s more pathetic than you think.

In support of the “ICE Out of MN” protests, Anton Treuer had his students recreate the WWII scene by planting the Minnesota flag in the snow, which, ironically, now mirrors the Samoli flag.

What’s pathetic about this is not that these people are outright delusional, although that’s part of it; it’s that they think their actions are even remotely comparable to the bravery of WWII soldiers. However, it’s even more deranged than that, though, because they believe they are on the side that’s fighting Nazis, when anyone with a brain knows that all they are doing is defending the fight of agitators to interfere with lawful federal enforcement mandates. That’s not bravery, it’s not even close.

Leftist parenting has reached a new low. The children of these deranged activists were already being subjected to indoctrination through their race and gender dogma, but now they are quite literally being brought into the streets to participate in riotous behavior.

Beginning on Saturday, footage of children attending riots in Portland, Oregon, began circulating on social media platform X.

Some look no older than 10 in the footage as one girl deals with effects of tear gas, telling a rioter, “Its burning.”

The occupation comes days after anti-Israel and Antifa activists were allowed back on campus after causing over $1 million in damage to a brand new engineering building during another occupation.

Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters occupied Gerberding Hall at the University of Washington on Friday, just days after anti-Israel and Antifa activists were allowed back on campus for the first time since a suspension nine months ago for causing over $1 million in damage to a brand new engineering building during a violent occupation.

Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is facing sharp criticism after appearing to suggest that Americans could be justified in shooting masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during enforcement operations.

Nadler made the remarks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, according to The New York Post.

The anti-Trump lawmaker was condemning federal immigration enforcement and describing ICE officers as “masked hoodlums.”

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said.

Border czar Tom Homan has announced that the Trump administration will immediately reduce the number of federal immigration agents in Minnesota by roughly 26%, citing “unprecedented cooperation” from local officials.

Homan held a press conference in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning to provide an update on Operation Metro Surge, which has been met with unrest from some community members, leading to numerous anti-immigration enforcement protests.

A Portland mother is going viral on social media after she admitted she would rather commit a murder-suicide with her and her kids than have them taken into custody by ICE.

According to Taviquinn, “If it comes down to me taking out myself and my kids versus us being taken and harmed by ICE, death would be easier out.”

According to Right Angle News Network, CPS has been notified of the situation.

There are so many disturbing things about this video.

Firstly, we can almost be certain that she and her kids are American citizens. This means she truly believes ICE is targeting random Americans and “kidnapping” them off the street. She’s not only naive, but she’s delusional enough to believe those lies.

This isn’t a grassroots protest — it’s a coordinated, well-funded revolutionary movement.

What unfolded in Minnesota was not spontaneous outrage but a disciplined, well-funded campaign aimed at dismantling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and, by extension, the rule of law itself. The same radical networks, foreign-linked funders, and professional agitators are driving it — including China-connected billionaire pipelines and hard-left communist factions.

Nearly two-thirds of likely 2026 midterm election voters support deporting illegal aliens from the United States, a new poll released Monday shows.

In its latest survey of 1,004 likely 2026 voters, the political polling firm Cygnal found that respondents support removing illegal aliens from America and sending them back to their country of origin by a nearly 2:1 margin (61 to 34 percent). The poll also found strong support for ICE enforcement of federal immigration laws and agreement that illegally entering the United States is a violation of such laws.

On Monday, masked anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis assaulted independent journalist Jorge Ventura and a colleague while they were filming an anti-ICE checkpoint.

“I was just assaulted by left-wing activists in South Minneapolis for reporting on a roadblock protesters set up and checking cars for ID’s,” Ventura stated on X.  “The activists grew angry when I shot footage of them turning around some vehicles that appear to be ICE agents, they tried to steal my phone and shove me back into my vehicle,” he reported, adding that they also assaulted Erik Herrera, another photographer who was on the scene.

“They tried to intimate me and forced to leave by shoving,” Ventura reported, adding, “as a journalist I have the right to be here and report.”

Over the last 25 years, gunmen and gunwomen have launched around two dozen fatal attacks at Christian churches across the nation. As demonstrated by the invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota last month, even congregations that haven’t encountered an armed threat still face mounting hostility against their faith and parishioners.

There’s no denying houses of worship are targets for violence. There’s also no denying that death tolls in church shootings were kept at a minimum thanks to the heroic actions of good guys with guns like Jack WilsonCaleb Engle, and Jeanne Assam.

A rogue federal judge has issued an order blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had ordered the termination of TPS for Haitians, and it was supposed to go into effect on Tuesday.

This would have forced hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants living in the United States to either leave or get deported.

However, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, who was appointed by Biden, just put an indefinite pause on that order.

Most Americans would assume that federal judges — ostensibly some of the most important arbiters in the U.S. judiciary system — would have a pretty good grasp of the basic facts.

Things like who, what, when, where, and why are all rather important topics when presiding over any tenuous legal matter.

Alas, every once in a while, judges can apparently get those very important factoids wrong, too.

And it’s raising a lot of questions.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) personnel should focus their time and resources on documenting interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and referring them for prosecution, according to Mayor Brandon Johnson.

On Saturday, Mayor Johnson signed an executive order directing Chicago police officers to prepare reports on “any violation of state or local law by federal agents” and to ensure they preserve body-camera footage.

A Portland Antifa blog has posted a claim of responsibility for attacking all the vehicles in an Enterprise rental lot. This blog has a long record of far-left political violence and intimidation.

PORTLAND, Ore. — An Antifa-linked Portland blog has published another claim of responsibility for a vandalism attack, this time targeting an Enterprise Rent-A-Car lot in northeast Portland in retaliation for the company’s business with the federal government.

On Monday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Christian Menefee (D-TX), who was sworn in on Monday evening, discussed ICE and said he backs “fully abolishing the agency. I think you have to rip it down to the studs.” And “I want to abolish it. I think you rip it down to the studs, and when it comes back, it shouldn’t be ICE anymore.”

Co-host Joe Mathieu asked, “Well, let’s get real about what should happen. You said at your victory party that it’s time to tear ICE up from the roots. Is that abolishing the agency or reforming it?”

Menefee answered, “I support fully abolishing the agency. I think you have to rip it down to the studs.”

Minneapolis is a warzone. It’s been that way since an ICE agent shot Renee Good on January 7, after she rammed into him with her car. On January 24, Alex Pretti was shot by Border Patrol agents—both people were interfering with police actions, and their reckless actions got them killed. They weren’t executed. They were morons who did the equivalent of looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.

Still, the left-wing lynch mobs, most of them exclusively white crusty boomers and shrill progressive women, have done everything they could to disrupt ICE raids. They have an elaborate system of encrypted chats that coordinate unlawful interference operations to enforce federal immigration law. They’re psychos. And now, we have these checkpoints. These clowns block cars to run a search on people’s license plates.

WASHINGTON: Federal officers in Minneapolis will be equipped with body cameras following the fatal shootings of two protesters by US immigration agents, the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday (Feb 2).

The move from DHS Secretary Krisi Noem comes as Democrats call for this equipment change and other reforms to immigration enforcement, holding up federal funds to press their demands.

The US government is in a partial shutdown following a breakdown in spending negotiations amid Democratic anger over the killing of the two protesters, both citizens, in the Midwestern city.

In a step toward accountability, a grand jury indicted former CNN host Don Lemon over his involvement in a leftist-led storming of a Minnesota church earlier this month. The indictment led to Lemon’s arrest at the hands of federal authorities on Friday morning.

“At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in an X post.

Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell also confirmed the arrest of his client. In a statement, Lowell claimed that Lemon was detained Thursday evening while covering the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California and that his “constitutionally protected” conduct in the aforementioned church storming “was no different than what he has always done” as a media figure.

A federal judge on Saturday denied a motion for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by the State of Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis, and the City of St. Paul against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and related officials seeking to halt Operation Metro Surge, the Trump Administration’s codename for a massive immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.

U.S. District Judge Katherine M. Menendez, a Biden appointee, stated in her decision that the plaintiffs had not met their burden to justify the extraordinary remedy of halting the operation based on the Tenth Amendment. She emphasized that the court was not making a final determination on the merits or commenting on the wisdom of the operation, but focused solely on the request for immediate relief.

A local Democrat official in Arizona, who caught on video screaming obscenities at two women during a protest over federal immigration raids, has apologized, resigned his party post, and lost his job.

Mark Holodnak, the former treasurer for the Legislative District 12 Democrats, stepped down after video circulated online showing him shouting vulgar insults at two young women outside a Zipps Sports Grill location.

He was later fired from his position at a Phoenix-based real estate firm after conservative activists identified him and publicized the footage.
