Troopers By Limiting ICE Cooperation

Original Article

Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 2/13/2026 9:42:32 AM

The Minnesota State Patrol quietly limited the ability of its troopers to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during traffic stops involving suspected illegal immigrants, multiple sources tell Alpha News. (snip) The State Patrol makes more than 300,000 traffic stops each year. Multiple state troopers (snip) explained that the new directive came down sometime during during the summer of 2024 -- around when Walz was running for vice president. (snip) "There's no written policy and that's the point," one trooper said. (snip) The source said state troopers routinely pull people over who don't speak English and have no ID.

Comments:

All guidance forbidding troopers to cooperate with ICE is oral and deniable. The Minnesota State Patrol ostensibly operates under a statute authorizing cooperation with federal authorities which is cited when it suits the agency's purposes. However, one federal employee who was recently being stalked on a state highway by someone who mistakenly assumed they worked for ICE reportedly called 911 and was bluntly told the State Patrol would render no assistance because the agency "wants nothing to do with ICE."

The new Dem governor here in Virginia has done the same thing with the VA state patrol. Registered Republicans had better get off their rears and vote this mid-term.

My bro-in-law was a cop in the largest city in the north east and told me similar stories. No English, no ID, you're free to go. Too complicated to make an arrest. Whether an unwritten policy or officer's discretion, I don't know.

Who would ever “thunk” that the Leftist Democrats of today would not behind the scenes tell their law enforcement agencies not to cooperate with any Trump led initiatives?

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons said Friday that officials are investigating whether two federal officers lied under oath about an incident in Minnesota that led to an illegal immigrant being shot in the leg. The shooting occurred last month in Minneapolis, when federal agents were allegedly ambushed by shovel-wielding suspects. The incident occurred during a targeted traffic stop of a Venezuelan immigrant. "Today, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony by two separate officers appears to have made  untruthful statements," Lyons said

A federal judge released four illegal immigrants who were convicted of murder and child sex crimes from the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. District Judge John deGravelles for the Middle District of Louisiana, an Obama appointee, granted the defendants release from ICE custody, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.

It happened again. Another Democratic politician posed for a photo while attempting to cook meat on a grill. This time it was Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) who tried to look normal by grilling a substance some claim was intended to represent "beef." The governor posted a photo of herself on X along with the caption "Order up!" and a steak emoji. Many remarked upon the hideous appearance of the alleged meat, as well as the deranged grin on Spanberger's face—the manic visage of an overmedicated wine mom about to mow down a rival's goldendoodle with her luxury SUV.

The U.S. government is dismantling the legal foundation of numerous climate protection measures from the era of President Barack Obama. The economy is being freed from the shackles of CO2 fixation. For European businesses, this will soon translate into noticeably higher competitive pressure. February 12, 2026, marks the end of a political era in the United States. On Thursday, President Donald Trump, together with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, repealed the so-called Endangerment Finding. This is one of the largest deregulation measures in recent U.S. history. Legally, the move primarily deregulates the EPA framework. It is not an executive order or a law passed by Congress.

One of the most visible actions after the U.S. Senate failed to pass the House version of a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security this week was Democrats swiftly hightailing it out of Washington, D.C., and heading to Europe for the 62nd Munich Security Conference. Senate Dems were not the only ones eagar to make an appearance at the yearly conference, though, and there's a simple reason for that. In its report, CNN describes the European gathering as a regular pit stop for "politicians to test the foreign policy waters and elevate their own profiles on the international stage ahead of White House runs."

The city of Chicago exists on another plane of the universe than the rest of us. It's a place where up is down, black is white, and the basic laws of physics are held in abeyance so that when adding one plus one, any number that's convenient (and politically viable) can be the answer. In Chicago's budget, the "new physics" includes the caveat that nothing is real unless we (the aldermen and the city's hapless Mayor Brandon Johnson) say it is. And even then, nothing is permanent in this alternate plane of the universe. An equation that's "true" today may not be so "true" tomorrow. Do you think I'm being facetious?
