The family of Renee Good, the woman shot by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, has hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd’s relatives.
Chicago-based Romanucci & Blandin announced Wednesday it will represent the parents, siblings and widow of Renee Good, The Hill reported. The firm secured a $27 million settlement for the Floyd family in 2021 after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed Floyd during an arrest.
Good, 37, died on January 7 after ICE agent Jonathan Ross reportedly shot her in south Minneapolis.

JPMorgan Chase Bank is suing former Chicago Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot for letting her $11K credit card bill go unpaid for 17 months.
The media has learned that Lightfoot, who became the first Democrat Chicago Mayor not reelected to city hall in about 40 years, was served with a subpoena at her $900,000 Chicago home in October, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Chase ultimately decided in March that her $11,000 bill would be a charge-off, but her last payment of $5,000 on the debt was made on August 7, 2024, according to the bank’s records. The bank reported that Lightfoot has had the card since 2005.
Lightfoot seems to be struggling to pay her

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.

President Donald Trump’s State Department is freezing all visa processing from 75 countries that the agency has discovered produce waves of welfare-dependent migrants to the United States.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that such visa processing would be frozen to avoid more welfare-dependent migration to the U.S.
“The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates,” the State Department wrote in a statement. “The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people.”
“The pause impacts dozens of countries – including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and

A China-born US Navy sailor who sold sensitive ship information to the Chinese government under the encouragement of his mother was ordered to spend 16 years in prison on Monday.
Jinchao Wei, 25, was blasted as a “traitor” as he was ordered to spend 200 months behind bars by a federal judge in San Diego for selling national defense information to an intelligence officer working for the People’s Republic of China for $12,000, the Justice Department announced.
“This active-duty US Navy sailor betrayed his country and compromised the national security of the United States,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said. Investigators found that Wei was recruited by the Chinese foreign intelligence officer,

After 2 years of pro-Hamas riots that included multiple assaults on Jewish New Yorkers, streets being blocked off and synagogues terrorized, including a mob chanting “We support Hamas” outside a synagogue last week, New York’s Attorney General Letitia James finally acted by… forcing the shutdown of Betar, a pro-Israel activist group, accusing it of “widespread persecution of Muslim, Arab, Palestinian(s)”
Attorney General Letitia James, an ally of Mamdani, claimed that Betar’s activism is “driven by broad hostility and animus toward several protected groups, in violation of New York civil rights laws.”
Her evidence of this was that “members repeatedly referred to keffiyehs – traditional Palestinian scarves – as

Federal agents investigating a Somali immigrant operation that moved massive amounts of cash in suitcases from the Minneapolis airport to overseas have uncovered a new leg of the courier journey: the Columbus, Ohio airport.
Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023.
The cash movements were made by U.S. citizens of Somali origin who flew out of the Columbus airport en route to either the airports in Minneapolis or Atlanta, and the couriers always declared the cash

Eleven House Democrats jumped party lines to vote with their Republican counterparts in a bid to overturn regulations pushed during former President Joe Biden’s tenure.
According to Fox News, the House of Representatives voted 226-197 to overturn Biden-era regulations effectively aimed at restricting how strong shower heads could be.
Federal law already caps how much water a shower head is allowed to emit. During the Biden administration, regulators took a broader view of that rule. They concluded that showers equipped with multiple nozzles had to be treated as a single unit, meaning the total water flow across all heads could not exceed the legal maximum.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development likely paid out more than $84 million in ineligible assistance to Minnesota during President Joe Biden’s final year in office — including to more than 500 “deceased tenants,” according to officials and documents reviewed by The Post.
HUD has been looking into billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded housing aid doled out by the Biden administration — and its most recent review found $84.6 million in potentially erroneous payments in fiscal year 2024.
That included up to $496,000 in improper assistance to 509 dead tenants.
Approximately $246,000 more was shelled out to 20 people whose Social Security numbers couldn’t be verified, meaning they were likely non-citizens.

When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is upgrading her Los Angeles real estate portfolio, trading one celebrity-soaked neighborhood for another.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff recently dropped a little over $8 million ($8.15 million) on a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu that’s home to a who’s who of both Hollywood and — more recently — Silicon Valley power players, the California Post has learned. In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California’s most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume.

A Maryland Democratic legislator is proposing a measure to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hired during the second Trump administration from joining state police.
The measure by Delegate Adrian Boafo is titled the ICE Breaker Act of 2026 and will be introduced when the General Assembly returns for the new session next week, according to local NBC affiliate News4.
“Everywhere I go in my district, folks are asking, what are we going to do about ICE?” Boafo said. “There’s only so much the state can do, but you know what I could do? Make sure that those ICE officers never have a job here in the state of Maryland.
