Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with Minneapolis and St. Paul, is suing the Trump administration over the deployment of over 2,000 federal agents in the Twin Cities. The lawsuit alleges the federal government is violating the 10th Amendment by infringing on Minnesota’s right to police itself, citing civil rights abuses and the death of a 37-year-old mother since the deployment began late last year. Initially focused on addressing fraud within the Somali community, the operation has expanded, and state and city officials claim the federal agents now outnumber local police. The lawsuit argues that the federal presence is undermining the state’s ability to perform its core functions and that the “federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop”.

Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane killing 11 people in September. The core of this issue, and the thing that’s really sticking in my craw, is the accusation that the Pentagon deployed an aircraft disguised as a civilian plane in September, resulting in the deaths of 11 people. This raises some serious questions, not the least of which is, why?
U.S. military manuals, steeped in the laws of war, explicitly condemn perfidy. Perfidy, in this context, is when a combatant intentionally feigns civilian status, tricking their opponent into lowering their guard. Military handbooks emphasize the importance of distinguishing military forces from civilians.… Continue reading
A new video released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides additional context to the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis. The bystander video depicts the moments leading up to the shooting, showing the woman’s red SUV blocking the road and her interaction with officers. After officers approached the vehicle and ordered her to exit, the SUV moved forward, followed by gunshots and the subsequent crash into a parked car, as seen in other footage. These developments offer critical insights into the controversial incident and the ongoing debate surrounding the officer’s actions.

Four migrants die in US immigration custody over the first 10 days of 2026. This isn’t just a headline; it’s a stark reality, a chilling statistic that demands our immediate attention and a thorough examination of the circumstances. The fact that four individuals lost their lives within the first ten days of the year, while under the care of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), should be a wake-up call for everyone. This isn’t a distant tragedy; it’s happening right now, within our own borders.
Considering the circumstances surrounding these deaths, it’s difficult not to be deeply concerned. The fact that members of Congress are sometimes denied access to ICE facilities raises red flags.… Continue reading
During a CNN interview, Kristi Noem defended the actions of an ICE agent who fatally shot Renée Nicole Good, echoing the Trump administration’s stance on enforcing laws. However, when confronted with the January 6th insurrection and Trump’s pardons for the Capitol rioters, Noem struggled to reconcile the administration’s support for federal law enforcement with its tolerance of attacks on officers. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey refuted Noem’s claims about Good’s actions and criticized the Trump administration’s portrayal of the city’s safety. Democrats are advocating for new rules to curb abuses by federal immigration officers, including warrant requirements before arrests, with Senator Chris Murphy expected to introduce legislation.

During a recent interview, President Trump seemed to forget his promise of $2,000 checks for Americans funded by tariff revenue. He later admitted to making such a promise on social media in November 2025. Despite claiming “Trillions of Dollars” in revenue, actual tariff revenue for 2025 was significantly lower. Though the checks have yet to materialize, the administration did make a symbolic payment to military personnel, misrepresenting its source. When pressed about further checks, Trump suggested they might be issued towards the end of the year.

Vance criticized a CNN headline for omitting the ICE officer’s prior near-fatal experience of being dragged by a car, implying this justified the officer’s actions. However, this argument ignores the established practice of assigning officers with a history of such trauma to desk duty to avoid further incidents. The situation highlights a pattern of officers, like Ross, using their weapons to threaten individuals who fail to comply with their commands, a pattern that ultimately resulted in the death of a civilian.

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will step down early from his role as US ambassador after a video surfaced showing him disparaging President Trump. The friction between the two leaders was evident during a White House meeting where Trump expressed his dislike for Rudd. During this meeting, a journalist highlighted Rudd’s past critical comments about Trump, including calling him a “traitor to the West.” This incident led to the current situation of his resignation.

The Trump administration initiated a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, alleging he lied to Congress about headquarters renovations, a move perceived as an attempt to force interest rate cuts. This investigation is considered a tactical blunder, as it demonstrates Trump’s true motive of undermining the Fed’s independence for political gain. The probe also reveals why the judiciary must protect Powell, as Trump’s actions showcase his disregard for the rule of law. Ultimately, the Supreme Court, already wary of the administration’s actions, should use this as reason to impose strict limits on the president’s ability to fire the Fed’s members.

President Trump revealed in a recent interview that his desire for full “ownership” of Greenland is “psychologically important” to him, emphasizing the significance of control beyond mere agreements. Trump expressed that ownership provides benefits and elements not attainable through treaties or leases, even suggesting potential use of nuclear force despite potential NATO repercussions. These remarks have been met with resistance, including a statement from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who underscored the importance of sovereignty and self-determination. The ongoing discussions about Greenland’s future highlight differing perspectives on international law and the role of the U.S. in global affairs.
