Trump Sends Tom Homan to Minnesota
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/26/2026 11:14:56 AM
Amid continuing violent insurrection in Minneapolis, where local police and state authorities are siding with anti-ICE rioters, Donald Trump is sending his border czar to oversee operations personally. Border Patrol shot an armed and violent protestor, Alex Pretti, as he feloniously clashed with them during an operation to arrest a criminal illegal alien. Since then, the property destruction and assaults on federal immigration officers escalated, while Minnesota and Minneapolis authorities refused to do anything to enforce the rule of law. Gov. Tim Walz deployed the National Guard but apparently mainly to hand out goodies to violent protesters. So Donald Trump is taking action.

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 City Council district, but also
Inside the battle of the Twin Cities

We are witness to what I have called “The battle of the Twin Cities.” On one side is federal law enforcement. We support federal law enforcement. On the other side are state and local authorities, the Star Tribune, and a highly organized resistance. We beg to differ with them all.
Not enough attention has been paid to the resistance. It is well-funded, covert, highly organized, and supported by state and local authorities. It seeks to harass and obstruct the federal officers executing federal immigration law in Operation Metro Surge.
The participants present a sort of neo-Confederate scene that used to go under the moniker of “massive resistance,”

"I’ve seen organized resistance up close," special forces veteran Eric Schwalm posted on Sunday, and "from Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly."
"What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t 'protest',” he continued. "It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook."
"This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition
The final Israeli hostage was recovered and brought back to Israel on Monday, the Israeli military said, concluding the long process of bringing the hostages back from Gaza following the October 7 terrorist attack more than two years ago.
Ran Gvili was a 24-year-old Israeli police officer who was killed on October 7 and brought to Gaza, where he was held for 843 days.
“After an identification process conducted by the National Center of Forensic Medicine together with the Israel Police and the Military Rabbinate, officials notified his family that his remains had been identified and would be brought to burial,”
What We Know So Far

The left is making a hero and a martyr of Alex Pretti, which makes perfect sense if you ignore nearly all the facts. Here is what we know so far:
* Pretti was no innocent bystander or peaceful protester. He was a member of the signal “ICE watch group” that was formed to interfere with federal law enforcement. Matt Margolis has much more about the well-organized, and no doubt well-financed, criminal group of which Pretti was a member.
* Pretti came to an area where federal officers were carrying out an enforcement action with the intent of trying to disrupt them. He brought with him a luxury version

It’s counterintuitive, and the opposite would be far worse. But we’re still duty-bound to prepare for the electoral fallout.
Because, in all probability, it’s coming with a vengeance in 2026.
I don’t want to sound unappreciative, because I’m delighted with the results. Ask yourself: Would you rather solve illegal immigration, halt border crossings, stop violent crime, and deal with the political consequences — or live in a country with nonexistent borders and a runaway crime rate?
When we consider the alternative, what choice did we have?
The US Air Force said Sunday it was about to begin a multi-day readiness exercise across the Middle East “to demonstrate the ability to deploy, disperse, and sustain combat airpower” in the region, amid heightened tensions with Iran.
“This exercise reinforces peace through strength by fielding a credible, combat-ready, and responsible presence designed to deter aggression, reduce the risk of miscalculation and assure partners,” a statement released by US Air Forces Central (AFCENT) said.

Well, not all of Minneapolis. But a portion of South Minneapolis. The miscreants are a combination of Antifa thugs and woolly-headed Minnesota liberals, all playing at being Communist revolutionaries. To the barricades! And they have, indeed, erected barricades of a sort.
Videojournalist Rebecca Brannon is on the scene: More here.
Police apparently have withdrawn from the area, turning that portion of the city over to the insurrectionists. As far as I have seen, neither Tim Walz, nor Jacob Frey, nor any other member of the Democratic Party has criticized, let alone condemned, this lawlessness.
It seems long past time for President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. In the chaos and violence following the death of an armed Minneapolis would-be terrorist shot while fighting Border Patrol, another protester has bitten off the finger of a federal officer.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted photos on X showing the loathsome protestors who so viciously assaulted federal officers, and also photos of the one officer’s wounded hand and the severed finger. What absolute scum these protestors and the politicians who encourage them are.
A statement from the Department of Homeland Security says the armed man who was shot and killed in Minneapolis “wanted to…massacre law enforcement.”
The DHS said the armed man “approached US Border Patrol Officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”
The statement continued:
The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but [he] was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID

When Renee Good drove her car into an ICE agent earlier this month, the left tried to gaslight us into believing she was just some innocent bystander who was just at the wrong place, that she’d just dropped her son off at school and wasn’t supposed to be there. That narrative fell apart fast. Good, we soon learned, was a trained anti-ICE agitator who was absolutely there to obstruct law enforcement. Now we're watching the same playbook unfold with 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the armed agitator shot dead by Border Patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis while confronting agents.
The talking points are already circulating.

This week, the New York Times published an article called "Americans Are Turning Against Gay People," and if you're wondering whether the paper has completely lost touch with reality, the answer is yes. The piece opens with some gushing about a show I’ve never even heard of — and I suspect you haven’t, either — called Heated Rivalry, featuring gay hockey players, suggesting that its success proves "acceptance of queer love continues to grow." The authors, Tessa Charlesworth and Eli Finkel, lament that this is not the case. "We wish we could share that optimism,"
Accountability is coming” to Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi declared as Democrats try to shift public attention away from large-scale government fraud and towards the chaos they have created in Minneapolis. The promise comes after an ICE officer shot a person dead during a Saturday street scuffle while Democrat-allied activists were trying to disrupt a federal law enforcement action.
The shooting prompted Democrats to escalate their claims of murder by ICE and their demands that ICE leave the city amid the expanding federal investigation into what many Republicans say is statewide, migrant-enabled, Democratic-backed taxpayer fraud.
In just one sentence, the Minneapolis police chief tacitly endorsed violence against federal immigration officers, and made it clear why the violence continues to escalate without police interference.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance partly blamed Minnesota authorities and police after an armed and violent protester ended up getting killed in a struggle with Border Patrol yesterday. After all, Minnesota Democrats are totally on the side of the criminal illegal aliens and rioters, and local police refuse to back up the feds. It seems Trump and Vance were even more right than we realized, based on shocking comments from Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.

The Bank of England was advised to create a plan for the inevitable financial chaos that will result if and when world governments disclose the existence of aliens, according to a report. Former senior financial security analyst Helen McCaw sent a letter to the UK’s central bank urging the institution to prepare for the economic impact of little green men, the Times of London reported. If such a disclosure comes from the White House, Cambridge-educated McCaw projected in her letter, the revelation send shockwaves through financial markets and the banking system — and inspire general unrest amongst Earthlings.

In my column last week about the situation in Iran (“The Fog of Prewar in Iran”), I wrote:
Many commentators, noting Trump’s oft-proclaimed desire for “peace on earth,” believe he has paused to see if negotiations with Iran might end the slaughter. I doubt it. Trump’s desire for peace is perfectly genuine. But I note that the last time he said he wanted “peace on earth” was when he was asked whether he had any New Year’s resolutions just a couple of weeks ago. That was mere hours before he unleashed hell against the Venezuelan tyrant Nicolás Maduro, extracting him and his wife —
Close-up videos of the fatal Minneapolis shooting showed protester Alex Jeffrey Pretti was armed with a gun — with the agent who fired the more than a dozen shots clearly reacting to something that alarmed him amid the chaos.
It’s unclear if Pretti had drawn the weapon and was immediately disarmed, if an officer had pulled it from his clothing or if he was in the process of pulling it out when a separate federal officer was seen taking it from the 37-year-old as he was pinned to the ground.

Congressional investigators are preparing for a court fight as they seek to use every tool at their disposal to unravel how “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her hubby Tim Mynett came to be worth up to $30 million in just a few years.
The goal, House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told The Post, is “to win in court” while finding out what caused the “big spike” in Omar’s net worth. He warned that “everybody’s lawyered up in these investigations” – during a week where his committee took a break from its probe of Minnesota health care fraud —

Democrats just seem to want to keep ramping up the anti-ICE chaos.
Now, in the wake of the Border Patrol shooting on the streets of Minneapolis on Saturday, Democrats are saying they're not going to vote for the bill that includes Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding.
We already reported that there were likely to be issues. [Tweet]
Some of the eight Democrats who voted with Republicans to end the last shutdown also came out against the bill after the shooting, including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).
Then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ramped things up in a statement he released,

Democrat Insurrection Arrives on Schedule
12 replies
One hard-and-fast rule that leftists obey is this: Always accuse political opponents of committing the same transgressions that you are preparing to commit. Accusing innocent people of doing terrible things is dirty politics, but it muddies the waters of public perception just enough to protect the guilty from accountability.
When Democrats commit electoral fraud, they accuse Republicans of trying to steal elections. When leftist revolutionaries burn down cities, ambush and murder law enforcement officers, and demand that state and local governments “defund police,” Democrats accuse grandparents and veterans of being “insurrectionists.”
