Impeachment Articles Filed Against Walz Amid Somali Fraud Scandal.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faces four articles of impeachment related to alleged fraud and mismanagement in state programs.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governor Tim Walz and Republican lawmakers, led by State Representative Mike Warner.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Minnesota, January 2026.

🎯IMPACT: The Minnesota House will reconvene next month to potentially proceed with impeachment, requiring a Senate trial for removal.

IN FULL

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) faces four articles of impeachment, marking another significant blow to the failed Democratic vice presidential nominee. This comes after he had recently abandoned his bid for re-election amid mounting allegations related to his responsibility for widespread fraud in the North Star State, much of it perpetrated by the Somali community.

The four articles of impeachment are as follows:

Article I: Violation of Oath of Office through Concealment of Fraud, which accuses Walz of knowingly concealing or permitting the concealment of systemic fraud, despite multiple warnings, audits, and reports indicating that there was abuse.

Article II: Interference with Oversight and Investigations, which accuses Walz of obstructing or interfering with lawful oversight, investigations, or corrective actions related to fraud, for example, by shutting down whistleblowers, failing to act on evidence of issues, and presenting obstacles to investigations and reforms.

Article III: Prioritizing Political Considerations Over Lawful Administration, which accuses Walz of prioritizing political objectives, such as courting popularity among the Somali community, over his duty to perform his administrative functions fairly and effectively.

Article IV: Failure to Steward Public Funds, which accuses Walz of having allowed taxpayers to be defrauded of potentially billions of dollars through his negligence and weakening of various safeguards.

The Minnesota House is scheduled to reconvene next month, at which point impeachment proceedings could formally start. If the House votes to impeach, the state senate would conduct a trial to decide Walz’s guilt and possibly remove him from office.

Notably, hundreds of whistleblowers in the state administration have accused Walz not merely of incompetence, but of overseeing a regime that actively threatened retaliation against state workers attempting to bring fraud scandals to light.

Far-Left Prof Who Called Trump a Pedophile Charged With Child Molestation.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A leftist activist and former professor was arrested for allegedly attempting to meet and engage in sexual activity with someone he believed to be an 11-year-old girl.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Houston Curry Wade, 44, a former Edmonds College faculty member, and undercover law enforcement.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The alleged offenses occurred between August and December 2025, culminating in an arrest at East Park in Bremerton, Washington.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’d take a bag of gravel as president over this pedophile,” Wade said of President Donald J. Trump, prior to being arrested for trying to lure an 11-year-old for sex.

🎯IMPACT: Wade faces life in prison if convicted and is currently held on a $750,000 bond.

IN FULL

A leftist activist and professor who branded President Donald J. Trump a child molester, saying, “I’d take a bag of gravel as president over this pedophile,” has been arrested for trying to lure an 11-year-old girl online. Houston Curry Wade, a 44-year-old former part-time instructor in Physics and Astronomy at Edmonds College, was arrested on December 17, 2025, in Bremerton, Washington, following an undercover sting operation.

Authorities allege that Wade initiated contact on August 29, 2025, via the Hush app with an undercover officer posing as an 11-year-old girl, using the username “AuthorityFigure.” The conversation shifted to the Kik platform and continued for approximately 110 days, during which Wade allegedly employed grooming tactics, including compliments on the decoy’s appearance and escalating to explicit sexual discussions.

The interactions culminated in plans to meet at East Park in Bremerton. On the day of the scheduled encounter, surveillance observed Wade leaving his home on Bainbridge Island, stopping at a Quality Inn in Silverdale, where he left a backpack in a hotel room. A subsequent search of the room, authorized by warrant, revealed condoms, lubricants, sex toys, and bondage items. Wade then proceeded directly to the park, where he was arrested around 5:25 PM.

During initial questioning, Wade waived his Miranda rights but claimed he had gotten lost en route to a restaurant that closed in 2024. Surveillance footage contradicted this, showing a direct route to the meeting spot. He later requested an attorney.

Wade faces charges including Attempted Child Molestation in the First Degree (a Class A felony) and Communication With a Minor for Immoral Purposes (a gross misdemeanor). He remains in custody at Kitsap County Jail on $750,000 bond. Conviction on the felony could result in life imprisonment.

This case occurs amid other recent allegations of child sex crimes involving people linked to Democrat politics. In January 2025, Matthew A. Inman, 39, treasurer of the Orange County, Florida Democratic Party and president of the Orange County Rainbow Democrats, was arrested on federal charges of transportation of child sexual abuse material after allegedly saving and sharing illegal videos and expressing interest in sexual encounters with a boy as young as nine in communications with an undercover agent.

In Arizona, former Democratic state Sen. Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete was convicted in 2024 of sexual conduct with a boy victimized between ages 12 or 13 and 15. He was sentenced to one year in prison and 10 years of supervised probation.

Additionally, Robert Jacob, former Democrat mayor of Sebastopol, California, pleaded no contest in 2023 to six felony counts of sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old boy, including lewd acts and related offenses. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and must register as a sex offender for life.

Noem Just Told Somalis to Leave the U.S. by This Date.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals, with a deadline set for March 17 for them to leave the country.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Somali nationals.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced on January 13, with a deadline of March 17.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Temporary means temporary,” said Secretary Noem.

🎯IMPACT: The decision affects 2,471 Somali nationals with TPS and an additional 1,383 with pending applications.

IN FULL

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals, setting a deadline of March 17 for them to exit the United States. This decision comes during heightened scrutiny of the Somali community following major fraud scandals in Minnesota.

The move aligns with President Donald J. Trump’s previous remarks expressing disapproval of Somali immigration, with Somalis being associated disproportionately with crime and welfare dependency across the West. Noem emphasized that “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”

“Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first,” she added. Attorney General Pam Bondi has previously confirmed 85 fraud-related charges against Somalis and 60 convictions in Minnesota alone, with further large-scale investigations ongoing into Somali-run daycares in the state.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) sources indicate that there are currently 2,471 Somali nationals residing in the United States under TPS, with another 1,383 applications pending review.

Suspected Tren de Aragua Gangster Charged With Ramming Feds.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Venezuelan illegal immigrant with alleged ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, Luis Nino Moncada, was charged with aggravated assault of a federal officer after allegedly ramming a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle in Portland, Oregon.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Luis Nino Moncada, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, U.S. Border Patrol agents, and federal prosecutors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on January 8 in Portland, Oregon, with charges filed on Monday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Anyone who crosses the red line of assaulting law enforcement will be met with the full force of this Justice Department,” wrote Attorney General Pam Bondi on X (formerly Twitter).

🎯IMPACT: The charges highlight ongoing concerns about illegal immigration and gang activity, as well as the safety of federal law enforcement officers in light of increasingly violent attacks—especially with automobiles.

IN FULL

Luis Nino Moncada, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant suspected of being an associate of the Tren de Aragua gang, was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday with aggravated assault of a federal officer with a deadly weapon. According to an unsealed federal complaint, Moncada allegedly rammed a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle multiple times during a traffic stop in Portland, Oregon, on January 8, 2026.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi addressed the charges in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Anyone who crosses the red line of assaulting law enforcement will be met with the full force of this Justice Department.” Bondi added, “He should NEVER have been in our country to begin with, and we will ensure he NEVER walks free in America again.”

Federal prosecutors allege that Moncada and another suspected gang associate, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, were in a vehicle when Border Patrol agents attempted to conduct a traffic stop targeting Zambrano-Contreras for arrest. Moncada, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and has a criminal history, allegedly refused to comply and used the vehicle to ram a Border Patrol car repeatedly.

Moncada and Zambrano-Contreras were both struck by gunfire after an agent opened fire, fearing for the safety of the officers. Moncada later admitted to intentionally ramming the vehicle, according to authorities. The incident has drawn criticism from Oregon officials, including Governor Tina Kotek (D), who claimed the situation was “instigated by the reckless agenda of the Trump administration.”

The incident has—in part—contributed to anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests nationwide, with agitators condemning federal law enforcement actions in both Portland and Minneapolis, Minnesota, where an anti-ICE activist was fatally shot after attempting to ram an ICE agent with her SUV.

Trump’s FCC Closes Loophole Allowing Criminal Access to High-End Burner Phones.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on Monday a significant change to a 2007 phone unlocking rule, which it says has inadvertently aided criminal enterprises that wish to use higher-end devices as difficult-to-trace burner phones.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The FCC, Verizon, TracFone, and criminal organizations, including drug cartels.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The rule change was announced on Monday, January 12, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Sophisticated criminal networks have exploited the FCC’s handset unlocking policies to carry out criminal acts—including transnational handset trafficking schemes and facilitating broader criminal enterprises like drug running and human smuggling.” — FCC Chairman Brendan Carr

🎯IMPACT: The FCC contends the rule change reduces access to difficult-to-trace “burner” style high-end phones for criminal operations.

IN FULL

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced on Monday a significant change to a 2007 phone unlocking rule, which it says has inadvertently aided criminal enterprises that wish to use higher-end devices as difficult-to-trace burner phones. According to the FCC, the nearly two-decade-old phone unlocking policy stipulates that Verizon phones—specifically—must become unlockable from the carrier no more than 60 days after activation. For other cellular carriers, their devices had to be configured so that consumers could unlock them after one year.

Federal officials contend that the significantly shorter unlocking timeline for Verizon—along with its acquisition of prepaid and no-contract mobile virtual network operator TracFone Wireless—created a perverse incentive for criminal elements to target Verizon stores to steal higher-end phones. “Sophisticated criminal networks have exploited the FCC’s handset unlocking policies to carry out criminal acts—including transnational handset trafficking schemes and facilitating broader criminal enterprises like drug running and human smuggling,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said regarding the updated FCC rule. He continued, “By waiving a regulation that incentivized bad actors to target one particular carrier’s handsets for theft, we now have a uniform industry standard that can help stem the flow of handsets into the black market.”

Under the new waiver order, Verizon will be brought into alignment with the Cellular Telephone Industries Association (CTIA) Consumer Code for Wireless Service, established in 2013. The FCC contends this will better help reduce drug cartels and other criminal operations’ access to unlocked and difficult-to-trace “burner” style phones.

“Due to its unique unlocking responsibility, Verizon’s unlocked handsets have too often been effectively stolen and resold on the black market, commanding premium prices on the dark web, particularly in countries like Russia, China, and Cuba,” the FCC contends, adding, “The record demonstrates that the 60-day device locking period is insufficient for the company to effectively detect fraud before unlocking takes place… Time and again, federal and state law enforcement has investigated and prosecuted transnational handset trafficking schemes, finding they facilitate broader criminal enterprises like drug and human smuggling.”

The move by the FCC comes as the Trump administration continues to ramp up operations against Central and South American drug cartels and criminal illegal immigrant gangs operating within the United States. Notably, Verizon supports the FCC action, with Kathy Grillo, Senior Vice President of Public Policy, stating, “The FCC’s action will end bad actors’ ability to exploit the FCC’s unlocking rules to profit from easier access to expensive, heavily-subsidized devices in the U.S. that they traffic and sell to other parts of the world.”

Border Patrol Shoots Alleged Tren de Aragua Associates Who ‘Weaponized Their Vehicle.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Two illegal immigrants were shot in Portland, Oregon, during an incident involving Border Patrol agents.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The driver, Luis David Nico Moncada, and passenger, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, were identified as suspected associates of the Tren de Aragua gang.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting took place in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon, around 2:15 PM local time.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The driver weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland, prompting the CBP agent to take immediate action to defend himself and others.” – Department of Homeland Security

🎯IMPACT: Both migrants were hospitalized; the incident has drawn attention to the dangers presented to federal law enforcement by vehicular attacks.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced on X that two illegal immigrants were shot in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday. The migrants are suspected associates of the notorious transnational Tren de Aragua gang. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the incident, which took place around 2:15 PM local time and involved Border Patrol agents.

“Yesterday, two suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates—let loose on American streets by Joe Biden—weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them,” DHS announced.

According to DHS, the suspects were identified as driver Luis David Nico Moncada and passenger Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras. DHS described both as “criminal illegal alien[s] from Venezuela”, with Moncada having entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and Contreras in 2023. The agency highlighted Moncada’s prior arrests for DUI and unauthorized use of a vehicle, while noting “Contreras played an active role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and was involved with a prior shooting in Portland.”

The incident follows on the heels of the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Good and her same-sex partner had been obstructing and taunting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in the Minnesota city, with Good driving at and striking one officer in an attempted getaway as they sought to detain her, causing her to be shot. The officer involved was previously dragged and injured by a car driven by a migrant pedophile attempting to evade arrest.

There has been a 1,300 percent increase in vehicular attacks against ICE since 2024, driven in part by senior Democrats such as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz inflaming migrants and far-left agitators by comparing the federal law enforcement agency to Adolf Hitler’s “Gestapo.”

Trump Treasury Unleashes Financial Crimes Division on Minnesota.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Friday that he has ordered the department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to begin a geographic targeting operation for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, applying extra scrutiny to all businesses engaging in overseas money transfers.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, FinCEN officials, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community, and Governor Tim Walz (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Friday, January 9, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This will put a microscope on these businesses, advance prosecutions, and assist in the recovery of funds laundered internationally.” — Scott Bessent

🎯IMPACT: The Treasury Department order will require wire transfer businesses and banks to submit additional information to FinCEN on money transfers before the transactions will be allowed to process.

IN FULL

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Friday that he has ordered the department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to begin a geographic targeting operation for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, applying extra scrutiny to all businesses engaging in overseas money transfers. The order will require wire transfer businesses and banks to submit additional information to FinCEN on money transfers before the transactions will be allowed to process.

“This will put a microscope on these businesses, advance prosecutions and assist in the recovery of funds laundered internationally,” Sec. Bessent said at a press conference announcing the new financial monitoring measures on Friday. He added, “Under Democratic Governor Tim Walz, welfare fraud has spiraled out of control. Billions of dollars intended for feeding hungry children, housing disabled seniors, and providing services for children in need were diverted to benefit Somali fraud rings.”


According to the Treasury Department, the geographic targeting order will “require banks and money transmitters located in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, which include Minneapolis and St. Paul, to report additional information about funds transferred outside of the United States. These businesses will be required to file reports with FinCEN above certain transactions of $3,000 or more where the beneficiary is located outside of the United States.”

The Treasury Department contends the order will provide federal law enforcement with greater insight into the individuals overseas receiving money transfers, and help “advance prosecutions and assist in the recovery of funds laundered internationally.” As part of the operation, the department has notified four money transfer businesses that they are under investigation for suspicious financial activity.

In addition to the FinCEN geographic targeting order, Sec. Bessent announced that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will soon launch a task force charged with investigating instances of COVID-19 pandemic relief fraud and violations of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by nonprofits tied to the numerous Somali community-linked social services fraud schemes.

Bessent added that FinCEN is already on the ground in Minnesota and will also provide training to federal, state, and local law enforcement on how to utilize Treasury Department tools, such as Suspicious Activity Reports, to combat fraud. “We will not let the incompetence and recalcitrance of Governor Walz stop law enforcement from holding these perpetrators accountable,” Bessent said.

DHS Surges 100 Additional CBP Agents Into Minnesota.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is deploying 100 additional U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to Minnesota for the weekend.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: DHS, CBP agents, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and Renee Nicole Good, an anti-ICE activist fatally shot after attempting to run over federal agents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Minnesota over the coming weekend, with agents traveling from Chicago and New Orleans.

🎯IMPACT: DHS is pausing operations in Chicago to support the Minnesota deployment amid increasing tensions and violent anti-ICE protests.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ordering the deployment of at least 100 more U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to Minnesota for the coming weekend. According to the DHS orders, the additional agents deployed to Minnesota will be primarily drawn from Chicago and New Orleans. Additionally, DHS plans to temporarily pause operations in Chicago to support this effort.

Notably, the ramp-up in CBP personnel comes after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday when she attempted to use her vehicle to run over the officer. The deployment, according to DHS documents, will last through the weekend. On Sunday, the agents will return to their respective cities of operation.

DHS officials, including ICE and CBP agents, have been operating in Minnesota for weeks as part of a major immigration enforcement operation and investigation into widespread social services fraud allegations tied to the state’s Somali immigrant community. Federal prosecutors have estimated that upwards of $9 billion in taxpayer dollars may have been stolen through several criminal schemes.

Far-left activists violently assaulted federal immigration officers in Minneapolis on Thursday. The violent demonstration took place outside the Whipple Building in Minneapolis, where hundreds gathered to protest the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations and Good’s shooting. In another incident, an anti-ICE agitator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was caught on video obstructing and attacking Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino before being detained by federal agents.

The National Pulse reported late Thursday that Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) called up the state’s National Guard troops to assist local law enforcement as clashes between violent leftists and federal law enforcement continued into the evening.

State Auditor Uncovers MILLIONS in Overpayments by Daycare Oversight Agency.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An audit of Washington State’s $770 million child care subsidy program uncovered millions of dollars in overpayments, sparking concerns about fraud and accountability.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Representative Emily Randall (D-WA), State Auditor’s Office, Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), independent journalists, and Washington Attorney General Nick Brown (D).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The audit covers payments made between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, in Washington State.

🎯IMPACT: The findings have raised concerns about transparency, accountability, and the potential misuse of taxpayer funds in government programs.

IN FULL

Independent journalists and government watchdogs are raising concerns about potential misuse of public funds in Washington State’s $770 million child care subsidy program following findings by the State Auditor’s Office that identified more than $2 million in overpayments. According to the audit, $2,092,513 in improper payments were made across 1,372 cases between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The overpayments were largely tied to missing attendance records and providers billing for more hours or days than children were present.

The program is overseen by the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), which has come under increased scrutiny as independent investigators and journalists reported alleged “ghost daycares” and inconsistencies between state records and on-the-ground observations. Critics argue the findings point to weak internal controls and insufficient oversight, particularly given the scale and speed at which funds are distributed.

The Office of Fraud and Accountability reported limited enforcement outcomes during the same period, noting just one criminal conviction related to fraud in fiscal year 2025. The controversy is unfolding amid heightened national attention on childcare fraud. Federal authorities recently halted billions of dollars in funding to several Democratic-led states amid allegations of widespread abuse in childcare subsidy programs.

In Minnesota, the FBI is investigating daycare centers linked to a broader fraud probe, and at least one daycare connected to the scandal has closed following public scrutiny.

Despite the Washington audit findings, Attorney General Nick Brown (D) dismissed claims of widespread fraud, calling the allegations “baseless.” Brown criticized independent journalists investigating the issue, labeling them “vigilantes” and “racist,” and said the fraud claims had been “debunked.” He also argued the controversy was being fueled by national political figures rather than evidence.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson (D) echoed that stance, referring to the journalists and activists raising concerns as “extremist influencers.”

The issue escalated further during a congressional hearing when Rep. Emily Randall (D-WA) drew backlash for remarks suggesting taxpayers should pay less attention to fraud allegations and instead focus scrutiny on U.S. citizens, particularly “white men.”

WATCH: Anti-ICE Agitator Attacks Border Patrol Commander Bovino.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An anti-immigration enforcement protestor was caught on camera obstructing and trying to attack Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, an unnamed protestor, and Border Patrol agents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Minneapolis, footage shared on X on January 8.

💬KEY QUOTE: “How many agents have to be assaulted before the INSURRECTION ACT is invoked?! IT’S TIME!” – Journalist Nick Sortor.

🎯IMPACT: The attack comes amid serious tensions in Minneapolis between leftists and federal agents following the shooting of a woman while trying to run over an ICE agent on January 7.

IN FULL

Video circulating on social media shows an anti-immigration enforcement agitator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, obstructing and attacking Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino before being detained by federal agents, as tensions continue to rise following the shooting of a woman who was trying to run over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Wednesday.

Footage posted to X on January 8 appears to show a demonstrator stepping in front of Bovino and preventing him from moving as he works the streets alongside federal officers. Following a scuffle, multiple agents and demonstrators join the fracas before the instigator is detained.

The incident quickly drew attention online, with journalist Nick Sortor commenting on the footage on X, saying, “This is RIDICULOUS. How many agents have to be assaulted before the INSURRECTION ACT is invoked?! IT’S TIME! INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT!”

The confrontation comes amid unrest following the January 7 shooting of a woman by an ICE agent during a federal operation. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have stated that the agent acted in self-defense, with the woman attempting to run over officers on foot who had approached her vehicle. Notably, the officer who opened fire was previously dragged and injured by a car driven by an illegal immigrant pedophile he was apprehending.

Tensions between Minneapolis officials and federal immigration authorities predate the shooting. In December, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara urged members of the city’s Somali community to report encounters with masked or unidentified ICE agents, pledging that local police would intervene if residents believed civil rights were being violated. Minneapolis is a sanctuary city and does not cooperate with ICE on routine immigration enforcement, endangering the public.
