Progressive Democrats are threatening to leverage the end-of-January government funding deadline to push restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), escalating tensions within their party following the fatal shooting of a woman who struck an ICE agent with her car in Minneapolis. Anger erupted among progressive lawmakers following the January 7 shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE officer during operations in Minneapolis.

A federal grand jury has indicted a New York man for threatening to kill a federal employee and his children.
U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that a federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging Matthew White, 43, of Jamestown, NY, with threatening to assault and murder a federal law enforcement officer and interstate communication with threat to injure a person. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Evan K. Glaberson, who is handling the case, stated that according to the indictment, on April 30, 2025, White threatened to assault and murder a federal law enforcement officer
Social media is crawling with self-proclaimed forensic analysts poring over footage of Wednesday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis and insisting it shows the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good lacked justification. Some of the takes are downright embarrassing, with left-wing influencers confidently analyzing the wrong ICE agent altogether, pointing to the one at the side of the vehicle instead of the agent positioned in front of it. Some simply post the same footage we’ve all seen and merely declare the video proves the agent is a murderer.
I’ve seen it all, and let me tell you, of all the analyses out there,
Florida’s Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd gave his opinion on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, saying, “If you do felonious assaults with two-ton weapons, expect to be shot.”
Judd posted his take on the incident in which an ICE agent shot and killed a woman who allegedly drove her vehicle into him.
He opened his comments by saying, “You have to be accountable for your conduct, and that starts with the mayor. Did you hear his filthy talk? Did you hear his filthy, uninformed talk yesterday?”
Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) has introduced a bill to strike back at high-level Somali fraud of American taxpayers, Breitbart News learned exclusively.
Banks’ “No Funding for Foreign Agents Act” would prevent entities that are controlled by agents of any nation covered by President Donald Trump’s travel ban – including Somalia – from accessing taxpayer funds.
The Indiana senator introduced his bill following revelations that multiple high-ranking officials in the Somali government have run or owned taxpayer-funded businesses and organizations in the United States – many tied to widespread fraud.
“The Somali fraud scandal has revealed how broken the system is,” Banks told Breitbart News.

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.
However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.
During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.
We're not quite sure if Democrats don't understand how the Internet works, but it is forever. That's why we're able to call out guys like Senator Chris Van Hollen, who really hated Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro...right up until President Trump ousted Maduro from office, that is. Or Chuck Schumer, who was angry that President Trump didn't depose Maduro during his first term, but whined he wasn't "informed" of this operation.
It's also why we can rewind to 2022, when Jill Biden (still masking for COVID two years after the pandemic, we'll note) went to Minnesota to tout the billions spent on the state's daycare system, thanks to the American Rescue Plan.
When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn't the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there's plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.
In the last year, ICE and CBP agents have been involved in more than 100 such incidents. [Tweet,video]
Basham's thread continues with the Fox News report of the vehicle ramming in St. Paul. [Tweet]
Senate Republicans introduced a measure on Wednesday that would make it easier to denaturalize and deport immigrants convicted of fraud.
The bill, called the Fraud Accountability Act, appears to be a response to recent revelations about rampant fraud in Minnesota. Several organizations defrauded federal welfare programs by falsely claiming to be using taxpayer funds to benefit low-income children. In reality, the fraudsters pocketed the cash and used it for luxury expenses and to fund terrorism in Somalia.
The bill would alter the Immigration and Nationality act so that a wider swath of fraud crimes could lead to serious consequences for immigrants who entered the country legally and illegally.
Today’s White House press briefing was absolute fire. Not only is Karoline Leavitt excellent at her job, but so is Vice President JD Vance, who announced a new assistant attorney general position being created at the Justice Department: a federal fraud czar. This office will have national jurisdiction, and it will begin in Minnesota to combat the rampant (alleged) Somali fraud network that’s stolen billions from taxpayers. Leavitt began by saying this administration stands with ICE and that the immigration enforcement agenda will continue.

Sometimes, you have to give credit where credit is due. Since we regularly slam corporations that go wrong and buy into the destructive progressive mythology — see Target, Bud Light, and Jaguar, to name a few — it’s only fair that when they do something right, we cover that too.
It would appear that Hilton Worldwide stepped up to the plate after the Department of Homeland Security reported that a location in Minneapolis was refusing to allow ICE agents to stay there.
As Rusty Weiss and I reported, DHS was furious at the chain for the discriminatory, anti-law enforcement effort, and they let Hilton know it in no uncertain terms.
Details are scarce at this hour, but local media outlets are reporting that two people were shot by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents earlier in the day on Thursday in Portland, Oregon.
From KATU:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the FBI, Portland police and city officials.

Portland police said at a 2:24 p.m., they had learned that a man who had been shot called to request help near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside. Arriving officers found a man and a woman wounded from apparent gunshot wounds. Police confirmed federal agents were involved.

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Billal slammed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as "made up, fake, wannabe law enforcement," asserting that ICE's actions violate both "legal law" and "moral law." Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned that law enforcement officials who commit crimes will be arrested and charged. "So I'm with the DA, Bilal declared. "You don't want this smoke. Cuz we will bring it to you," Bilal said. In a dig at President Donald Trump she warned that "the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep" ICE agents from heading to jail.
Thursday on CBS’s “The Takeout,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said FBI Director Kash Patel and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem could not be trusted to run a fair investigation into the Minnesota woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Schiff said, “Well, I was struck by a few things. First of all, it’s horrifying to watch. And to think about this 37-year-old woman, drops her kid off at school, not involved in protest activity or anything, seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But at one point, she’s waving other cars to come on past, trying to make sure that she’s not
The family of Renee Nicole Good has received more than $1.5 million in donations after she was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Officer Jonathan 'Jon' Ross shot Good three times in quick succession on Wednesday afternoon after she allegedly ignored ICE agents' demands to get out of her SUV. A GoFundMe campaign created to support her wife Rebecca and Good's three children, including her six-year-old son who is now orphaned, has amassed more nearly 38,000 donations in just two days.
The Montclair Public School District in New Jersey cannot account for $20 million in missing funds.
To make matters worse, local officials project a $25 million deficit “over the next four years.”

The crisis came to light in September when Montclair Township said it couldn’t help the school district with the $20 million deficit.
Township Manager Stephen D. Marks said, “We are not the federal government, and we cannot print money.”
How did that happen? The school district admitted the deficit “is due to years of unbudgeted for spending.”
“The deficit is the result of money that was spent and was not budgeted,
Renee Nicole Good’s wife was antagonizing ICE agents and even urged her to “drive baby, drive” just moments before the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, according to shocking new video taken on the agent’s own cell phone.
The video — filmed by agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday and obtained by Alpha News — shows the heated interaction between the Goods in the lead-up to the shooting.
Renee can be seen behind the driver’s seat of the plum-colored Honda Pilot, while her wife, Rebecca, stands in the street next to the car. A dog is also sitting in the back seat, peering out an open window.
Nationwide protests have swept Iran for 12 days now and analysts agree that this movement is fundamentally different than previous cost-of-living or women’s rights-driven protests. According to the latest reporting, over 111 cities in Iran are rising up against the brutal Islamic regime of Ayatollah Khamenei after 47 years of oppression under the Islamic Republic and the regime has responded by declaring war on the people.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are facing contempt of Congress charges if they don’t appear before a House committee next week to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The couple was originally scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee in December but those appearances were moved to January 13 for him and the 14th for her at the request of the couple, who cited a conflict.
But now they haven’t confirmed they will be there next week. And Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chairman of the panel, said he’ll slap them with contempt if they don’t show.

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school,

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that she ordered her country’s top diplomat to speak with the highest levels of the U.S. government to work on improving binational coordination in order to keep U.S. forces from carrying out direct attacks against cartels inside Mexico. This appears to be her latest effort to protect the violent drug trafficking cartels that exert political influence at every level of her country. The announcement came in response to a series of comments made by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, who claimed that while his forces had been highly effective in stopping the maritime flow of drugs, drug cartels continue to control Mexico.
Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) will give students the option of learning from home through February 12 following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, according to local media citing the president of a teachers union. The school district, which has an enrolment of about 29,000 students, had previously said there would be no classes for the rest of the week “due to safety concerns” after Wednesday’s shooting.

WASHINGTON — The killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer is reverberating across Capitol Hill where Democrats, and certain Republicans, are vowing an assertive response as President Donald Trump’saggressive deportation operations spark protests nationwide. Lawmakers are demanding a range of actions, from a full investigation into Renee Good’s shooting death and policy changes over law enforcement raids to the defunding of ICE operations and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in what is fast becoming an inflection point.
