President Trump announced early Wednesday that his administration will strip federal funding from sanctuary cities and states, in line with policies he promoted on the campaign trail.
“EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY FIRST, NO MORE PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STATES FOR THEIR CORRUPT CRIMINAL PROTECTION CENTERS KNOWN AS SANCTUARY CITIES,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social.
What a President.
WASHINGTON—The State Department will indefinitely pause immigrant visa processing for 75 countries as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to block low-income foreigners from immigrating to the U.S.
The pause takes effect starting Jan. 21, and will halt visa issuance to people looking to immigrate permanently, typically through marriage, family ties or work sponsorship. It doesn’t block people from obtaining tourist or temporary work visas.
The countries affected span the globe and include many in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Visa processing will now be paused for Russia, Thailand, Morocco, Colombia and Brazil, among others, according to a State Department official briefed on the plan.
President Donald Trump has once again threatened to bust out the Insurrection Act, to quell the violent, organized mob actions against federal law enforcement in blue cities, abetted by the TDS-riddled despots in their “sanctuary” fiefdoms who imagine they are more powerful than the federal government. The situation is making it impossible for the government to go about its business, enforcing the law.

The three men arrested for ambushing an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday have all been identified as illegal immigrants from Venezuela who were let into the country under the Biden administration, officials said Thursday, calling the attack an “attempted murder” of federal law enforcement officers.
The Department of Homeland Security said the suspects — Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema — were all in the country illegally, and are now in ICE custody.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed ICE agents in the city were “causing chaos” after an illegal immigrant armed with a shovel “ambushed” an officer and was shot on Wednesday.
Frey blamed the nearly 3,000 federal officers deployed across Minneapolis as the reason for the disorder — which included the shooting death of 37-year-old anti-ICE agitator Renee Nicole Good — that has taken hold of the Minnesota area over the last week.
"Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear." – Mayor Frey
Well… Imagine if your country was invaded by millions of criminals that do not share the values that you hold dear.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
It was unclear how extensive the bleeding was. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ross’ injury, but has not yet responded to CBS News’ requests for more information. This story will be updated as we learn more.

France’s interior ministry has announced ban on 10 British anti-migrant activists who travelled to the country.
Officials said they took action after reports that members of the Raise the Colours movement had conducted anti-migrant activities in France.
On Tuesday, “territorial bans were issued against 10 British nationals, identified as activists within the movement and having carried out actions on French soil”, the interior ministry said.
In a post on X it said: “Our rule of law is non-negotiable. Violent and hate inciting tactics have no place in our territory.”
Gee France isn’t sending your unwanted 3rd World benefit seekers into a neighboring country without permission kind of hateful?
The Somali fraud scandal has captured Americans’ imaginations. The story is almost unbelievable: Somalis in Minnesota allegedly set up fraudulent housing services, meal programs, and autism-therapy offerings, which formed part of a “web” that stole “billions of dollars in taxpayer money.” Some fraudulently obtained funds, according to federal law enforcement sources, ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab terrorists.
Meantime, on the West Coast, another pattern of fraud has taken root: foreign criminals have developed sophisticated schemes to cheat and steal from unsuspecting Americans. I spoke with a veteran blue-city police detective, who has spent two decades investigating serious crimes, in order to learn more about how these groups operate and what might be done to stop them.

One of the most befuddling and truly irritating things about all the theatrics surrounding the ICE enforcement brouhaha has been the levels of self-delusion that the Left is willing to indulge in in order to perpetuate the hysteria.
These lunatics have suspended time and reality in their demented and twisted brain housing groups.
An incident can happen, and be filmed without any alteration, then shown right in front of them, and they will immediately devise a different scenario than the one on screen out of whole cloth, as if it were some avant-garde ad-lib theater exercise.

ICE’s online posts and advertisements set a dangerous tone
After watching the video of the tragic shooting of Renée Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said: “What you see is what you get in this case.”
Long before software turned “what you see is what you get” into WYSIWYG, it was the catchphrase of Geraldine Jones, comedian Flip Wilson’s iconic character, who also dodged blame with her excuse, “the devil made me do it.” Geraldine understood that surface impressions feel complete precisely because they’re vivid. They rarely are complete.

An asylum seeker has been jailed for raping a teenager he met online within weeks of arriving in the country by small boat.
Kurdish national Mehmet Ogur, who was living at the Holiday Inn Express in Tamworth, forced himself on his 18-year-old victim in the grounds of Tamworth Castle.
He later sent the woman messages saying he was sorry for what he had done.
Years of anti-ICE propaganda helped lead to a deadly confrontation in Minneapolis.
Last Thursday Vice President JD Vance joined a White House press briefing to discuss initiatives the Trump administration is taking to investigate the pervasive welfare fraud that has been discovered in Minnesota. He was inevitably asked questions about the death of Renee Good after she attempted to drive her SUV over an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Vance described the media coverage of the death as “disgraceful,” and followed up with this question: “You guys are meant to report the truth. How have you let yourselves become agents of propaganda?” The collective response of the “reporters” was to disregard the question, but the answer is vital to the future of the republic.

A great deal of media coverage of the events in Minneapolis is marred by a bad-faith framing of the events that ultimately seek to blame the ICE agent and ICE policy for the unfortunate death of Renee Nicole Good. Case in point, Jake Tapper’s interview of Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) on an extended State of the Union.
It occurred to me yesterday that what we’re seeing online and in the streets in reaction to the shooting of Renee Good is very familiar. And then it occurred to me why. What we’re seeing is the Black Lives Matter playbook.
Think about it for a moment. Going back years to the start of Black Lives Matter the organization established a particular way of operating. They would identify a shooting, usually involving a white police officer and a black suspect, and they would quickly nationalize the outrage and demand justice for this individual. Activists would rush to television cameras demanding everyone say his name (or her name) and then there would be organized street protests against law enforcement, often making some demands.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has handed over to Fox News a chilling list of the most heinous criminal illegal aliens arrested during a recent surge operation in Minnesota.
