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.

Delegate Karen Keys-Gamarra (D) introduced legislation to create a $500 tax on suppressor sales in the state of Virginia.
The bill, HB 207, “Imposes a firearm suppressor tax equal to $500 per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a dealer in firearms.”
Keys-Gamarra’s bill directs monies from the tax to “be deposited in the general fund.”
A long-standing $200 federal tax on suppressors was wiped out by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill which took effect January 1, 2026. This means suppressor sales around the nation are now hundred of dollars lower than they were even one month ago. But HB 207 will force Virginians to ante up $500, on top
Tensions in Minnesota reached a boiling point Saturday as Representative Ilhan Omar faced off with agents just four days after 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by ICE during a protest.

Screenshots obtained by journalist Julie Kelly showed that Becca Good was a follower of the page "MN ICE Watch," an organization that had held seminars just a few days beforehand on how to disrupt ICE agents. "A few days before this incident, 'MN ICE Watch' held virtual seminars on how to disrupt

Cash payments will be waiting for whistleblowers who provide information related to Minnesota’s unfolding fraud scandal, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.
The announcement of reward money comes as the Trump administration is pursuing wide-scale fraud investigations in Minnesota due to persistent allegations involving money-laundering schemes, pirating of federal human services funds, and other misuse of taxpayer money.
“We know that these rats will turn on each other,” Bessent told Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle on Friday.
“We are going to offer whistleblower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where, and how this fraud has been done.
Democratic Oregon state Sen. Kayse Jama is audibly incapable of speaking fluent English despite having moved to the U.S. nearly three decades ago.
Jama spoke at a podium in Portland on Thursday, where he, in broken English, condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement and told them to get out of the city. The state senator moved to the U.S. in 1998, according to his biography.
“This [is] Oregon, we do not need you … you’re not welcome and you need to get the hell out of our community,” Jama spat out.
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police (MNFOP) released a statement Thursday with the heading, “FOP stands with ICE.”
The statement said, in part:
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of law enforcement across this country. Over the last month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state

A whistleblower from within the Swedish Migration Agency has claimed that the majority of staff deciding who is allowed into the country are foreign and that clan-like networks have developed, in which ethnic and religious compatriots are given special consideration.
In an interview with the Swedish news outlet Samnytt, a source within the country’s Migration Agency, which has the power to determine who is granted asylum, residency, work permits, and citizenship, has claimed that the federal agency has seen a drastic overhaul since the 2015 Europe Migrant Crisis.

The American people are demanding accountability, but the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi is still dragging its feet.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is publicly blasting the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi after investigative reporter Catherine Herridge highlighted a viral chart circulating on X that exposes a jaw-dropping lack of accountability — zero arrests tied to some of the biggest political scandals of the last decade.
The chart lays out a long list of scandals that dominated headlines for years, from the Russia collusion narrative and Benghazi to election fraud and the Biden autopen scandal, and they all share the same outcome: zero arrests.

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,

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,

George Wallace didn’t do that. Ross Barnett didn’t do that. Walz can’t seriously think that the Minnesota National Guard can militarily resist federal authority.

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.
