Implicated, Foreign Funding Revealed

Original Article

We're learning a lot more about the people who were in the anti-ICE Signal chat groups that independent journalist Cam Higby infiltrated in Minnesota, the organization of the group, its donors, and the significance of the address at which Alex Pretti was obstructing federal officers. There's far too much information to detail completely in this piece, but even just from an overview, it's clear that there is an organized insurrection underway, led by several elected officials in Minnesota and aided by alleged journalists. Let's hit the highlights: Organization The groups are highly sophisticated. They're set up geographically; within the City of Minneapolis, they're generally divided by

If the veins of corruption are entangled this deeply, we can probably cut Bondi some slack as to why it seems to be taking so long to get some results.

My frustration is at level 500. Bondi has enough information to start indicting people. What the h3ll is this lady doing. Every so often she gets out in front of the cameras pointing the finger and issuing threats BUT NO RESULTS. In my opinion, she is not that effective. Maybe Trump, you need to put someone else in charge. This FRAUD is in our face and is not hidden. We are sick and tired of hearing that Somalis are getting rich or funding terrorist organizations from our tax dollars and the government's social programs as well as crocket politicians (both Dems and Rep).

No surprise here. It is frustrating that people think they can ignore the laws of the United States. They seem to have the Hollywood/liberal attitude of 24/7 anywhere, anytime, anyone etc. Everything goes. Arrogant politicians and celebrities think they rule the roost and we peons should just follow. My definition of arrogance is being anti-God. Can you imagine going to another country and ignoring their laws? The corruption and rebellion coming out of Minneapolis is representative of arrogant leadership. They all want their hands in the cash drawer. . .

All of this anti-ICE activity once again has me asking two questions I've been wondering about for the longest time: (1) if there are ICE agents and offices in all 50 states then why is Minnesota the only place where this is happening; and (2) why do we seem to be the only country on the planet who's NOT supposed to control immigrants coming through our borders? Someone please make it make sense..

Alex Pretti's family said he did not usually carry a gun although he had a concealed carry permit. I would like to know the date(s) when he bought his firearm, the extra magazines, and obtained the CC permit. Do any or all of those dates coincide with his joining the Signal chat activist group. His parents volunteered that he had participated in the George Floid protests. When did he become an armed protester?

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) latest financial disclosure has kicked off another round of scrutiny after revealing that a California winery owned by her husband jumped in reported value from around $50,000 to as much as $5 million in just one year. The winery, “eStCru LLC”, is co-owned by Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, and his business partner, William Hailer. According to documents filed with the House Clerk in May 2025, the Santa Rosa-based operation saw its valuation soar between 2023 and 2024, despite ongoing legal challenges from investors who claim they were promised returns that never came through.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a press conference in New Delhi alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday that the bloc has agreed to a “mobility” scheme to allow for the influx of “students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers” from India into Europe. The EU chief also said that Brussels will open a “Legal Gateway Office” in India to help facilitate migrants’ move to Europe. “This is good for our economies.

Fifty-six others have already been charged, and this latest round of indictments brings the total number of defendants in the case to 87, as federal authorities move to dismantle a financial pipeline purportedly used to fund the violent Venezuelan gang. “Many of the defendants charged in this Homeland Security Task Force operation are Venezuelan and Colombian nationals including illegal alien Tren de Aragua (TdA) members,” the DOJ announced. “Tren de Aragua is a complex terrorist organization that commits serious financial crimes

Former President Joe Biden has a heartfelt message for Americans. “Slardumpfrinagle, man,” the former president said in between spoonfuls of tapioca pudding. Meanwhile, in actual news, Tuesday on the social media platform X, Biden — or more likely the lunatic staffer who writes Biden’s posts — issued a deranged statement on the recent violence directed primarily against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota, a statement that prompted X users to remind the former president of his responsibility for the current illegal-immigration mess while at the same time reminding us all of the difficulty in co-existing with Democrats incapable of basic honesty or decency.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's latest federal financial disclosures show millions of dollars in newly reported assets tied to her husband’s businesses, representing a massive increase compared to previous years' listings. The disclosures, filed as part of Congress’ annual financial reporting requirements, come as Omar has publicly denied being a millionaire, labeling such assertions "ridiculous." Despite those denials, the sudden appearance of the assets at high valuations has raised questions about her husband’s business holdings and prompted President Donald Trump to call for a Department of Justice investigation into the couple’s shared wealth. Omar’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

His most recent novel is Gun Man Jackson Swagger. Late last night Steve wrote us that “this Alex Pretti thing has me all buzzed up. It’s SO familiar–the ‘victim’ instigated the event; the federal agents had about two seconds to respond; the backlash was immediate and well-planned; the media compliant as rent boys.” Steve sees the case as “the tragic but blameless police shooting of a dim liberal-dogooder driven by self-righteous vanity.”

Joe Biden crawled out of his hole on Tuesday to bash the Trump Administration over the two fatal ICE-involved shootings in Minneapolis. Biden accused the Trump Administration of trampling on 4th Amendment rights and gunning down citizens for exercising their constitutional rights. ICE agents have warrants to enter homes and arrest criminal illegal aliens. “What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights.

Prominent Republicans and gun rights advocates helped elicit a White House turnabout this week after bristling over the administration’s characterization of Alex Pretti, the second person killed this month by a federal officer in Minneapolis, as responsible for his own death because he lawfully possessed a weapon. The death produced no clear shifts in U.S. gun politics or policies, even as President Donald Trump shuffles the lieutenants in charge of his militarized immigration crackdown. But important voices in Trump’s coalition have called for a thorough investigation of Pretti’s death while also criticizing inconsistencies in some Republicans’ Second Amendment stances.
