GA Grand Jury Wanted Charges Against Sitting U.S. Senators for their Opinions.

The Georgia special grand jury that recommended charges against former President Donald Trump also sought charges against United States Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), as well as former Senators David Purdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), according to the now-public special grand jury report. The document recommended the three prominent Republican lawmakers be charged for their involvement in an “…effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election… in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia.”

Empaneled in May of 2022 to investigate alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, the special grand jury examined evidence and heard testimony from 75 witnesses over a period of nearly seven months. When the investigation concluded, the special grand jury recommended charges against 39 individuals for attempting to in the 2020 election and offering a ‘false’ slate of presidential electors.

In Georgia, special grand juries differ from a ‘normal’ grand jury, serving only an investigatory purpose and lacking the power to issue actual indictments. The recommendations resulted in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis convening a grand jury which handed down indictments of Trump and 18 other individuals last month.

Senator Graham, as well as former Senators Purdue and Loeffler, were among the 20 individuals recommended be charged by the special grand jury who were not indicted in District Attorney Willis’s RICO prosecution of former President Trump for alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election.

Convicted Criminals, Including Carjacker Who Beat Pregnant Woman, Found Among Arrested Anti-ICE Activists.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A protest outside a Minneapolis hotel turned chaotic, leading to the arrest of at least 26 anti-ICE demonstrators, including a man previously convicted of assaulting a pregnant woman.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Notable arrests included Justin Neal Shelton, a man with a violent criminal past, and Abraham Nelson Coleman, a convicted thief.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred Monday night at the SpringHill Suites in Maple Grove.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The protest was declared an unlawful assembly after property damage and violence occurred.” – Police statement

🎯IMPACT: The arrests highlight the presence of criminals among the anti-ICE protestors in Minnesota.

IN FULL

Several convicted criminals were arrested on January 26 following chaotic protests outside of the SpringHill Suites hotel in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where far-left anti-ICE extremists besieged the hotel amid claims that Border Patrol leader Gregory Bovino was staying at the property. Among those arrested was Justin Neal Shelton, a 37-year-old St. Paul resident, who was charged with obstructing legal process. Court records show Shelton has a criminal history dating back to 2007, including a conviction for assaulting a pregnant woman during an attempted carjacking. He served approximately five years in prison for that offense.

Abraham Nelson Coleman, 45, was also taken into custody on allegations of damaging property outside the hotel. Coleman has accumulated multiple theft– and property-related convictions since 2003, according to public records. Another arrest involved Rayna Michelle Alston, 21, who was booked on a riot charge. Alston has previously voiced support for anti-ICE demonstrations on social media, where she has shared posts calling for disruption and resistance against federal immigration enforcement.

According to authorities, officers intervened after incidents of property damage and confrontations with law enforcement were reported. The Maple Grove Police Department said, “The protest was declared an unlawful assembly after property damage and violence occurred.”

The Maple Grove protest occurred amid heightened tensions surrounding federal immigration operations in Minnesota. In recent weeks, anti-ICE activists have staged demonstrations at hotels, government buildings, and other locations believed to be connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection activity. Some of those protests elsewhere in the state have escalated into outright violence, with federal agents reporting injuries during clashes with demonstrators attempting to block enforcement actions.

Some hotels are canceling or restricting bookings for federal agents, citing safety concerns.

Top Democrat Wants to Ban ICE from Polling Stations – Despite Dems Claiming Illegals Don’t Vote?

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee (D) called for a ban on ICE agents near polling places in the upcoming spending bill, sparking criticism online.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jay Inslee, Senate Democrats, and conservative critics.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The statement was made on January 28, with the issue tied to national election policies and legislation.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Hmmm. Interesting that you think ICE would suppress voting.” – Wade Miller, Center for Renewing America.

🎯IMPACT: Inslee’s remarks have reignited debates over election integrity, with non-citizens technically being banned from voting, but few safeguards in place to detect them doing so.

IN FULL

Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee (D) ignited backlash this week after urging Congress to block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from operating near polling places, calling the proposal a “must have” and warning it could be the “last chance to do this” as lawmakers negotiate a federal spending bill.

“In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool,” Inslee said, pressing Senate Democrats to include language barring ICE agents from being near polling locations on Election Day.

His remarks quickly drew criticism from conservative commentators, who argued that the proposal implicitly suggests that, contrary to longstanding Democrat claims that elections are safe and secure, illegal immigrants are voting in elections. Wade Miller, an advisor at the Center for Renewing America, remarked, “Hmmm. Interesting that you think ICE would suppress voting.”

The dispute comes amid heightened national debate over illegal immigration and election integrity. Congressional Republicans are advancing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters say the bill is necessary to prevent noncitizens from voting, while Democrats dubiously argue that it would create barriers for eligible voters.

Peer-reviewed academic research suggests non-citizens do vote illegally in U.S. elections, usually for Democrats, in sufficient numbers to change outcomes, and “likely gave Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress.”

Hospital Dismisses Nurse Who Encouraged People to Poison ICE Agents.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A nurse was fired after posting TikTok videos advising others to harm U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Malinda Rose Cook, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health, and ICE agents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: January 2026, Virginia.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health.” – VCU Health statement.

🎯IMPACT: Cook has been reported to law enforcement, and her videos have been widely condemned online.

IN FULL

A nurse formerly employed by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health has been terminated after posting TikTok videos that appeared to encourage violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, prompting an investigation and referral to law enforcement. Malinda Rose Cook, whose videos circulated widely online, urged viewers to target ICE agents using tactics that included poisoning.

In one video, she told fellow medical professionals, “All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end. Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.” Succinylcholine is a fast-acting paralytic commonly used in medical settings.

In other posts, Cook suggested soaking poison ivy or poison oak in water and spraying ICE agents with it, advising followers to “Aim for faces, hands.” She also proposed incapacitating agents with laxatives, telling followers to use dating apps to identify ICE personnel, arrange dates with them, and spike their drinks. “Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day,” she said.

VCU Health confirmed Cook’s termination in a statement, saying, “Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health. In addition, VCU Health has fulfilled its reporting requirements under Virginia state law.” The hospital said the matter was also referred to local law enforcement authorities. Many have expressed concern that someone advocating harm against law enforcement could have been entrusted with patient care responsibilities.

The incident comes amid escalating national tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and a rise in attacks on and threats against ICE agents. Federal officials have said they are investigating online groups and encrypted messaging channels allegedly used to coordinate harassment or interference with ICE operations.

Census Bureau Reports NEGATIVE Net Migration as DHS Claims 3 Million Illegals Have Left U.S.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United States experienced negative net migration, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimating nearly three million illegal immigrants leaving the country in one year under the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Census Bureau, DHS, President Donald J. Trump, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The data was reported for the period between July 2024 and July 2025, with statements from officials spanning the past year.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services, and better job opportunities for Americans. Thank you, President Trump.” – Kristi Noem

🎯IMPACT: The U.S. saw its slowest population growth since the pandemic, attributed largely to a historic decline in net international migration.

IN FULL

The federal government’s U.S. Census Bureau has reported that the United States experienced negative net migration over the past year, with population growth slowing to just 0.5 percent, or an increase of 1.8 million people, between July 2024 and July 2025. This marks the slowest growth rate since the pandemic, when the population grew by only 0.2 percent.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) credited the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown for the trend, claiming that nearly three million illegal immigrants left the U.S. in just one year. DHS noted that its mass deportation agenda, combined with enforcement measures, contributed to the decline in net migration.

“In just one year, nearly three million illegal aliens have left the U.S. under the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration,” the agency said in a statement. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also highlighted that 1.6 million illegal immigrants departed within the first 200 days of Trump’s term, attributing the results to mass deportation operations and self-deportation trends.

“This is massive. This means safer streets, taxpayer savings, pressure off of schools and hospital services, and better job opportunities for Americans. Thank you, President Trump,” Sec. Noem said.

Christine Hartley of the Census Bureau officially stated that the slowdown was “largely due to a historic decline in net international migration,” while domestic birth and death rates remained stable. Notably, Census Bureau data shows that net international migration fell from 2.7 million to 1.3 million during the period from July 2024 through June 2025.

Every state except West Virginia and Montana saw either slowed population growth or increased population decline. South Carolina was the fastest-growing state, with a net domestic migration increase of over 66,000.

Fetterman Goes Off on Biden and Sanctuary Cities, Says Dems ‘Should Be Turning Over All the Criminals.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) stated that his stance on sanctuary cities has changed and that the laws no longer make America safe.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Sen. Fetterman and pro-sanctuary law Democrats like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The comments were made during broadcasts on Tuesday and Wednesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I do think, at this point, we should be turning over all the criminals that are in custody in all these jurisdictions.” – Sen. Fetterman

🎯IMPACT: Fetterman’s comments suggest a major shift in his policy stance, and potentially an emerging key Democrat vote for Senate Republicans on border and immigration legislation amid calls for congressional action against sanctuary jurisdictions.

IN FULL

 Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) says he now no longer believes sanctuary laws make Americans safer, and urged his fellow Democrats elected to office in sanctuary states and cities to hand over criminal illegal immigrants to federal law enforcement. According to Fetterman, the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants across the border under the former Biden government significantly impacted his opinion regarding the establishment of sanctuary jurisdictions.

“The dynamic has changed much differently, and the border has become more and more increasingly more difficult. So, for me, now, I think it’s entirely appropriate to make the adjustments,” Sen. Fetterman said during a television interview on Tuesday when pressed about his support for sanctuary laws in 2016. The Pennsylvania Democrat continued, “And I do think, at this point, we should be turning over all the criminals that are in custody in all these jurisdictions.”

Fetterman emphasized that “…if there are law enforcement that have these people in custody that are [engaging] in criminal behavior, then, yes, they should cooperate with that. And those individuals, if they’re convicted, should be deported.” Additionally, the Democrat Senator indicated he believes Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey—who has declared his city’s police will not cooperate with federal immigration agents—should back down.

Still, on Wednesday, Fetterman said he has lost confidence in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. “Americans have died, and this doesn’t seem to be about the core things like securing the border,” Fetterman said, while lamenting that Noem’s predecessor under former President Biden, Secretary Alexander Mayorkas, was “incompetent.”

“Our party, my party, we failed at the border during the Biden administration. It was a disaster,” Fetterman added.

New Vid May Show Alex Pretti Assaulting ICE, While Armed, A Week Before His Death.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Newly unearthed footage appears to show deceased anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti violently attacking federal immigration agents in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area on January 13, around a week before he was fatally shot during a confrontation with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Alex Pretti, federal immigration agents, The News Movement, and the BBC.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage is from January 13, 2026 and surfaced on social media on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

🎯IMPACT: The BBC—using facial recognition software—was reportedly able to confirm to a 97 percent level of accuracy that the man they filmed attacking federal agents was Alex Pretti.

IN FULL

Newly unearthed footage appears to show anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti violently attacking federal immigration agents in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area on January 13, nearly a week before he was fatally shot during a confrontation with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents. The video, captured by The News Movement and reportedly verified by the BBC, shows a man believed to be Pretti spitting on a federal law enforcement officer and shouting at agents before charging at their vehicle and kicking out its taillight.

Subsequently, a number of federal officers tackle the man believed to be Pretti to the ground and attempt to disperse the nearby crowd of protestors with tear gas. However, the federal agents are forced to retreat, and the man escapes from the agents.

The BBC—using facial recognition software—was reportedly able to confirm to a 97 percent level of accuracy that the man they filmed attacking federal agents was Alex Pretti. In the footage, what appears to be a firearm can be seen in his waistband, and he is wearing clothing very similar to what Alex Pretti was wearing on the day he was fatally shot.

Importantly, the January 13 footage may capture a confrontation reported by The National Pulse on Tuesday, in which Pretti suffered a broken rib when officers tackled him a week prior to his death. According to sources speaking with CNN, the initial incident began when Pretti stopped his vehicle after observing ICE agents pursuing illegal immigrants. He then began shouting and using a whistle, later claiming that five agents tackled him, resulting in his broken rib, though he was released shortly after.

Dem DA Vows to ‘Hunt Down’ ICE Agents Like Nazi War Criminals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Philadelphia District Attorney (DA) Larry Krasner (D) compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “wannabe Nazis” during a rally and threatened legal action against them.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Larry Krasner, other progressive prosecutors such as Mary Moriarty, and ICE agents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: During a rally on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

💬KEY QUOTE: “If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities; we will find you; we will achieve justice.” – Larry Krasner

🎯IMPACT: Krasner’s rhetoric has drawn criticism for its inflammatory nature.

IN FULL

Philadelphia District Attorney (DA) Larry Krasner (D) sparked outrage Tuesday with a speech attacking federal immigration enforcement, smearing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as “wannabe Nazis” and vowing to wage a lawfare campaign against them. “If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities; we will find you; we will achieve justic … under the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” Krasner said, stating that federal officers are not immune from homicide charges even after leaving office. He also said he is working with other progressive prosecutors, including Minneapolis’ Mary Moriarty, to hold federal agents accountable at the state level.

Krasner, a far-left prosecutor backed by billionaire George Soros, has long been a lightning rod for controversy. Since taking office in 2018, he has implemented sweeping progressive reforms, including ending cash bail for some offenses and reducing prosecutions. Republican critics say those policies contributed to a dramatic surge in violent crime, with Philadelphia homicides hitting a record 562 in 2021, although they later fell to a 20-year low by 2024. Krasner was impeached by the Pennsylvania House in 2022 over allegations of “purposeful ineffectiveness,” but he remains in office, dismissing the effort as an attack on “black, brown, and broke” voters.

Krasner’s rhetoric comes amid nationwide tension over ICE enforcement. Some Democratic officials have made highly controversial statements regarding the agency. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes suggested that under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law, citizens could legally shoot masked ICE agents if they felt threatened. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, similarly to Krasner, compared illegal immigrants and ICE to Anne Frank and the Nazis hunting her.

Clinton Judge Halts Deportation of Illegal Immigrant Who Abandoned His 5-Year-Old Child.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge temporarily blocked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from deporting illegal immigrant Adrian Alexander Conejo Ramos and his five-year-old son, even though the latter was not arrested by ICE.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Liam Conejo Ramos, his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Ramos, ICE officials, and U.S. District Court Judge Fred Biery.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ruling was issued on Tuesday in the Western District of Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The facts in this case have NOT changed: ICE did NOT target or arrest a child.” – Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The deportation of the father has been halted for now—DHS says the son was never considered for deportation—and ICE is restricted from transferring them out of the region.

IN FULL

A federal judge issued a temporary order late Tuesday preventing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from deporting five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Ramos. The judge, U.S. District Court Judge Fred Biery, appointed by Bill Clinton, also blocked ICE from transferring the pair out of the Western District of Texas.

ICE reported that Adrian Conejo Ramos, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador, attempted to evade arrest during an operation on January 20, abandoning his child in a vehicle in freezing temperatures. ICE deportation chief Marcos Charles emphasized that the operation targeted the father and not the child. Efforts to return the child to his family were reportedly met with resistance, as those inside the home refused to open the door.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement rejecting claims that ICE intended to detain Liam’s mother. “Officers even assured her she would NOT be taken into custody,” McLaughlin said, continuing, “The alleged mother refused to accept custody of the child. The father told officers he wanted the child to remain with him.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Adrian Conejo Ramos entered the U.S. illegally in December 2024 and was released into the country by the Biden government. Despite a pending asylum claim, ICE sought to detain him, citing his illegal status and his actions during the arrest.

McLaughlin emphasized, “The facts in this case have NOT changed: ICE did NOT target or arrest a child. On January 20, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, an illegal alien from Ecuador who was RELEASED into the U.S. by the Biden administration. As agents approached, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias fled on foot—abandoning his child.”

The National Pulse reported last week that the corporate media and Democrat lawmakers attempted to falsely claim ICE had detained the five-year-old. However, Vice President J.D. Vance and other Trump administration officials made clear that the child was looked after by federal agents for his own safety after his father abandoned him and fled from ICE officers.

BREAKING: FBI Raids Fulton County Elections Office.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: FBI agents, under the leadership of Director Kash Patel.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday, at the county’s main election office in Union City, near Atlanta.

💬KEY QUOTE: The FBI spokesman stated agents were “executing a court authorized law enforcement action.”

🎯IMPACT: The search is part of efforts to address political grievances related to the 2020 election.

IN FULL

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections office, located near Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday. The action was confirmed by an agency spokesman, who indicated that the agents were performing a “court authorized law enforcement action” at the main election office of the county in Union City, just south of Atlanta.

This search is part of the FBI’s efforts under Director Kash Patel to address issues with election integrity, a key priority of President J. Donald Trump. These efforts include collaborating with the Justice Department to investigate several officials and institutions with a lax attitude towards the security of America’s elections, particularly in 2020.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, last week, President Trump warned that “People will soon be prosecuted for what they did,” describing his statement as “breaking news.”

The Justice Department had not released any comments regarding the search as of the time of publication.

Walz is Back to Inflaming Tensions in Minnesota After Far-Left Activists Protested His Dialogue With Trump Admin.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) is back to attacking the “cruel” Trump administration after his talks with White Border Czar Tom Homan drew protests from far-left activists.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tim Walz, Tom Homan, and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Following the shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They started this fire, and we are not going to give them credit for putting it out.” – Tim Walz

🎯IMPACT: The failed Democratic vice presidential candidate’s comments suggest he is not interested in helping to de-escalate tensions in his state.

IN FULL

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) has re-escalated his criticism of the Trump administration this week, after initial, seemingly positive talks with President Donald J. Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan aimed at easing tensions following the shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti by Border Patrol. “They started this fire, and we are not going to give them credit for putting it out,” Walz said of the administration, despite his own long history of inflaming the public against federal law enforcement, for instance, by comparing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Adolf Hitler’s Gestapo.

In an interview, Walz acknowledged some improvement in discussions with Homan, citing a “tone shift” and “progress,” but questioned Trump officials’ sincerity, arguing they are infected with “a cruelty that runs so deep” and have only reached out to him because of criticism of the Pretti shooting in the media. In recent days, Walz has gone so far as to compare ICE efforts to arrest illegal immigrants in Minnesota, including killers and violent pedophiles, to Nazis hunting Anne Frank, drawing sharp criticism from the Holocaust Museum.

Notably, Walz’s return to inflaming the public against the federal government follows pressure from far-left activists, who surrounded his office in the state capitol following his dialogue with Homan demanding a hard line against federal immigration enforcement.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who also held talks with Trump and Homan initially reported as positive, has also since come out to vow his city will not uphold federal immigration law, prompting the President to warn he is “playing with fire.”
