<p>On January 7, 2026, during a large ICE enforcement operation in Minneapolis, an ICE agent fired three close-range shots into a Honda SUV, fatally wounding 37-year-old Renee Good as the vehicle moved and crashed. Video from bystanders appears to conflict with the federal account that Good intentionally rammed officers, prompting experts to question the tactic of standing in front of a vehicle and the decision to shoot. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and protesters condemned ICE, and the FBI and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating. Agents also sprayed irritants and fired pellet rounds at bystanders; volunteer medics treated people. (<a href="https://apnews.com/article/cad39aa94829e1e11468e3e345af2826">apnews.com</a>)</p>

Breaking report claims Gregory Bovino has been relieved of duty as Commander at Large of the U.S. Border Patrol, an exclusive the author denounces as false and urges President Trump to reverse immediately. The piece praises Bovino, saying he risks his life daily to force mass deportations, confronts leftists and reasserts authority. It alleges his family has been under lockdown for months amid constant death threats, yet he remains publicly leading his agents. The author implores Trump not to yield to Democrats, repeats the demand to back Bovino, and frames his removal as politically motivated and calls for national solidarity.

Republican Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized Democrats, blaming their inflammatory rhetoric for recent violence in Minnesota. She said such dangerous rhetoric “is exactly what has brought us to this position today,” accusing elected Democratic officials nationwide of encouraging left‑wing agitators and “crazy people” to unlawfully obstruct immigration enforcement. Leavitt urged law enforcement to “start arresting them,” framing the dispute as a failure of Democratic leadership and a public‑safety threat tied to immigration policy protests. Her remarks escalate partisan tensions and signal Republican pressure for criminal enforcement against protestors and officials she alleges are enabling obstruction, and intensified an already heated debate.
