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.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is joining Democratic colleagues for a press conference on Wednesday morning in a new effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The press conference in Washington is set to begin at 11 a.m. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) is introducing articles of impeachment against Noem, and will be joined by Omar, as well as Reps. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) and Nydia Velázquez (D-NY).

The impeachment effort was sparked by the Department of Homeland Security’s response to the killing of Renee Good last week in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

Scores of people are once again taking to their streets this weekend to protest the Trump administration’s ongoing offensive against immigrants and those who attempt to stand up for them.

More than 1,000 demonstrations are slated for Saturday and Sunday after federal immigration agents shot three people in the past week. On Wednesday, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis in her vehicle, and on Thursday US Border Patrol shot a man and a woman in a car in Portland.

“The murder of Renée Nicole Good has sparked outrage in all of us,” Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, one of the organizations spearheading the nationwide demonstrations, told Mother Jones. “Her death, and the horrific nature of it, was a turning point and a call to all of us to stand up against ICE’s inhumane and lawless operations that have already killed dozens before Renee.”

A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO), asked a federal judge on Monday to block the Department of Homeland Security from continuing to enforce a policy that restricts federal lawmakers from visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities without advanced notice.

Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem issued a new memo that requires lawmakers to submit oversight visit requests to ICE field offices and detention centers at least seven days in advance. The directive follows a June 2025 memo that outlined the same time frame for a valid request to be made.

The new policy differs in one key aspect, however. Noem ordered ICE to oversee congressional visits “exclusively with money appropriated” by President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“LEGAL OBSERVERS” 

Democratic politicians and left-wing allies have labeled Renee Good — the woman who blocked ICE officials with her car in Minneapolis before accelerating into an officer, prompting him to shoot and kill her — a “legal observer.” 

What is a “legal observer”? 

It is an informal title created by a left-wing group, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), to imply that individuals who watch and document law enforcement operations have some special legal protections.

President Donald Trump is finally planning to turn off the taxpayer money spigot for cities and states that refuse to comply with federal immigration law.

There are very few incentives that convince Democrats to stop illegal behavior, but money is probably one of them. They feel safe and smug breaking our immigration laws, so long as they can continue to fund all of their socialist programs and government employees. If that money is reduced enough, though, they might actually be willing to see reason. That, no doubt, is Trump‘s aim in holding back money from areas with sanctuary policies.

Republicans in so many ways have wasted their majorities in Congress over the past year. But the GOP has an opportunity to amp up its lackluster tenure with a second reconciliation package that its sponsors say will lower costs and cut the deficit by more than $1 trillion.

Of course, the devil is always in the details.

On Tuesday, Republican Study Committee members unveiled the Reconciliation 2.0 Framework, a proposal the lawmakers bill as a “comprehensive conservative roadmap” for the next reconciliation bill. The framework, its sponsors say, is aimed at affordability and codifying much of President Donald’s Trump’s America First agenda.

“There’s three major things that I think are threatening the American dream right now: housing costs, health care costs and energy costs,” said Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, at a press conference Tuesday.

CNN Guest Gets Wrecked Over This Claim About the Minnesota ICE Shooting– townhall.com

The Left is going to try and make the ICE shooting in Minnesota something more than it is, and they’re going to fail miserably at it. It’s not just that they’re liberal and that liberals are usually wrong about everything, but the facts simply take an axe to this narrative. Guest Julie Roginsky decided to toss the first pitch, and it was a bit outside.

The former Fox News liberal opted to claim that the American people might see this as a breaking point in so far as they view the incident involving Renee Nicole Good as someone who could be them. Good was shot and killed on January 7 after she accelerated her vehicle toward an ICE officer.

The local Democrats were off to the races with the ‘she was murdered’ narrative that imploded when the ICE officer’s cellphone footage was released. Good was a professional activist who had participated in previous activities to disrupt ICE raids. She trained others in that regard. She was not afraid, not was she just driving home. So, no, this is very avoidable, Ms. Roginsky. It was preventable—it’s called not driving your call into federal officers. Also, nothing has been adjuctated yet in court as Noah Rothman pointed out:

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.

A proposal by Washington state Democrats to ban most law enforcement officers from wearing face-concealing masks during public operations is drawing sharp criticism from federal officials, who warn the measure could endanger officers at a time when violence and threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are rising dramatically nationwide.

If enacted, Senate Bill 5855 would prohibit local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including ICE agents, from wearing masks that obscure their identities during public interactions, with limited exceptions for undercover assignments and certain tactical operations. The bill received its first hearing on Tuesday before the Washington Senate Law & Justice Committee.

There’s a deeper, darker truth lurking beneath the Somali-dominated, multi-billion-dollar Minnesota welfare fraud schemes that have commanded the attention of federal authorities and stoked nationwide outrage.

And it may explain in part why for weeks, Democrats and regime media have been gaslighting the country, casting critics as bigots, and shooting the messengers who sent the long-neglected story viral — and why, now, state and local leaders are trying to turn Minneapolis into a powder keg.

These dodges and diversions distract from the fact that the fraud is a feature of what we might call The Blue Model of government. Fueled by the welfare state and increasingly open borders, it is at core about political patronage, profiteering, and plunder. Democrats’ survival depends upon a political-business model of vote-buying via legal and illicit wealth redistribution. Suppressing the Minnesota story is critical.

Federal agents forcibly removed a woman from her car Tuesday after she allegedly blocked an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, just days after another standoff ended with the fatal shooting of a mother of three who drove her vehicle at an ICE agent.

Video from the scene shows the unidentified driver stopping her black sedan across multiple lanes of traffic as anti-ICE agitators flooded the street, effectively trapping federal vehicles in place. Agents moved in to clear the roadway while protesters screamed and blew whistles in an effort to disrupt the operation.

One officer reached into the car and appeared to unlock the door before another agent opened it and pulled the woman out. Officers had already smashed the passenger-side window as bystanders shouted, “Go, go, go, go.”

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel lamented that the Justice Department is “investigating the victims” of the Minneapolis shooting involving Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross. However, neither host provided their audience with the key detail that Good’s wife, Rebecca, told her to “drive, baby, drive” after Good herself was told to get out of the car.

Colbert certainly wasn’t interested in narratively inconvenient facts when he huffed, “Now, it’s not just a surge of goons. In order to justify the unjustifiable gunning down of an American citizen in her car, the Trump administration is trying to smear Renee Good’s family now. Reportedly, senior Justice Department officials have pressed for a criminal investigation into Good’s widow, which today prompted both six federal prosecutors in Minnesota to resign and the resignation of five senior prosecutors in the criminal section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.”

Two suspects shot for “weaponizing” their vehicle against a Portland-based Border Patrol agent are affiliates of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The revelation came late Thursday after news emerged of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials in Portland, Oregon. Initial reporting indicated that two individuals were shot in the incident.

When details of the case finally emerged, it clearly was not what Democrats — who had already rushed to falsely blame the immigration officials — were expecting.

According to DHS, Border Patrol officials were conducting a “targeted vehicle stop” in Portland. The agency said that upon identifying themselves to the driver and passenger, “the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has ordered Members of Congress to provide at least seven days’ advance notice before visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, following a growing pattern of Democratic lawmakers turning “oversight” visits into confrontational spectacles that have disrupted operations and endangered federal officers and detainees.

The policy became public late Saturday after three Minnesota Democrats were denied entry to an ICE processing center in Minneapolis, triggering accusations that DHS was unlawfully blocking congressional oversight.

Politico first reported the change, explaining that the restriction was quietly implemented earlier in the week and only surfaced after the lawmakers were turned away.

“That order… forces lawmakers to seek a week’s advance notice before conducting oversight visits to ICE facilities,” Politico reported, noting that the policy appeared to explain why three House Democrats were blocked from entering an ICE facility in Minnesota.

A woman who used her car as a weapon was shot five times and survived.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem isn’t having it from Democrat lawmakers who wish to further inflame rising tensions in the wake of the shooting death of far-left agitator Renee Nicole Good last Wednesday in Minneapolis. A day after the shooting, Noem quietly updated DHS’s policy, which will now require Members of Congress to submit visit requests at least one week prior to the intended visit date.

The move by Noem comes after a December decision by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Joe Biden appointee, that blocked a previous DHS directive requiring a one-week notice of congressional visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. It’s a bit nuanced, but it looks like Noem is able to sidestep Cobb’s order by using funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).

In issuing the new/old guidance, Noem stated that she disagreed with Judge Cobb’s finding, but intended to use funds derived from the OBBBA that are not subject to limitations cited by the judge in her ruling. DHS will use the OBBBA-derived funds to “ensure adequate protection for Members of Congress, congressional staff, detainees, and ICE employees alike.”

Soon-to-be ex-Minnesota governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey certainly think so. Walz has been comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo for years. Frey abetted the “fiery but mostly peaceful” burning of Minneapolis in 2020 after George Floyd died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest, and Frey acted entirely according to form in denouncing ICE and Donald Trump in response to the shooting of Good by an ICE agent.
