After a group of leftist activists and ex-CNN host Don Lemon disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday, on Monday Lemon hosted Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison on a podcast, where Ellison insisted that the activists had a right to disrupt the service. The Daily Wire reported: Dozens of protesters crowded into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday as part of a “clandestine operation” to “disrupt business as usual,” activist leader Nekima Levy-Armstrong told Lemon, who embedded with the protest group. The protest lasted roughly 30 minutes and effectively ended the church service as it drove congregants out. Lemon asked Ellison about the church invasion, prompting this response: The protest is fundamental to American society; this country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression; people have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. None of us are immune from the voice of the public. Quite honestly, I think that you got the First Amendment, freedom of religion and the freedom of First Amendment and freedom of expression. I think it’s just something you gotta live with in a society like this. Ellison ignored the 1994 FACE Act, which made it to prevent people from exercising religious freedom at places of worship. It states: “Whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure intimidate, or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship” could be prosecuted under the law. “This administration is real tender about things when it comes to their own interest,” Ellison claimed. “But they don’t care about the same things when the things don’t lie in their favor. So they’re getting tender about a church service now.” “They’re arresting people in clinics, schools, churches, anywhere they choose to do it,” he alleged. “They don’t really care about sacred and sensitive places unless it works in their favor.” Ellison somehow segued to President Trump’s criticism of Jimmy Kimmel for his remarks about the death of Charlie Kirk, then threw in this completely unrelated remark about Trump: “The mad king won’t let you say jokes about him.” Tim Pearce contributed to this article.

The following is an edited transcript from The Michael Knowles Show. * * * A very controversial statement — at least according to the internet — has just come out of Jerusalem. And not just from the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the chief Catholic prelate there, but from the heads of the other historic churches as well: the Armenian Church, the Syriac Church, the Greek Orthodox Church — all the Apostolic churches of Jerusalem. Here is what they said. In a statement titled On Unity and the Representation of the Christian Communities in the Holy Land: The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land affirm before the faithful and before the world that the flock of Christ in this land is entrusted to the Apostolic Churches, which have borne their sacred ministry across centuries with steadfast devotion.  Here is the controversial line: Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies such as Christian Zionism mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond, who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East. The statement goes on for several more paragraphs and concludes with: “May the Lord, who is the shepherd and guardian of souls, grant wisdom for the protection of His people and the safeguarding of His witness in the sacred land.” It is signed by the patriarchs and heads of the churches in Jerusalem. So what is this about? We’ve heard a lot about Zionism — the nationalist ideology that arose in the 19th century and sought to return Jews to the Holy Land, where they had lived millennia earlier, though not in large numbers for quite some time. We’ve also heard about Christian Zionism, which is a specifically Christian theological take on that project. WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show But who exactly are these “local individuals” sowing discord and undermining proper Christian authority? I had to look into this, because as a Catholic I don’t exactly keep up with every niche Protestant trend. And I think the patriarchs are referring to a man named Robert Stearns, who styles himself “Bishop Robert Stearns.” He is not part of any Apostolic Christian community, but he calls himself a bishop anyway. He is also a vociferous advocate of Christian Zionism. Here’s a sample of what he recently said: “Christian” Zionist Robert Stearns apologizes to Jews at Jerusalem Post conference for 2,000 years of “Christian history” hurting Jewish people. He says it’s “irrelevant” if Jesus was the Messiah and claims to be part of a new Christian group “serving Zion.” Follow: @AFpost pic.twitter.com/aHhMgOfpA3 — AF Post (@AFpost) January 14, 2026 Credit: @AFpost/X.com I was trying to be sympathetic here, but this is just ridiculous. It violates the law of non-contradiction — a principle we’ve known about since at least Aristotle. Opposing statements cannot both be true in the same respect. Christ’s return cannot be both His first coming and His second coming. It’s one or the other. And if you’re a Christian, I’m happy to break it to you: it will be the second coming. You actually have to believe that. This attempt to be cute or accommodating doesn’t resolve anything. It just empties theology of meaning. Stearns also claims that the existence of the modern State of Israel is of biblical and prophetic necessity — that it is required for the end times to unfold. I know plenty of people share this view. But here’s the thing: this theology is new. Really new. Less than two centuries old. It is not the traditional Christian position, and it is not the correct one. Which brings us back to the Jerusalem statement. Is it shocking? Is it anti-Israel? Is it a break with tradition? No. Not at all. In fact, the position expressed by the patriarchs lines up perfectly with long-standing Vatican teaching. Here is something from 1985 — forty years ago, and two decades after the Second Vatican Council. This declaration from the Vatican goes out of its way to speak respectfully of Jews and is in no way anti-Semitic: The history of Israel did not end in 70 A.D., but continued, especially in the numerous diasporas, which led Israel to carry to the whole world a witness, often heroic, of its fidelity to the one God… while preserving the memory of the land of their forefathers at the heart of their hope. That reference, by the way, is to the Passover Seder. Notice what’s happening here. The Vatican is not talking about the Church as the new Israel — which Christians have always believed — but about the historical, earthly Israel of the Jewish people. It acknowledges their witness, their fidelity, and even their attachment to the land. But then comes the key clarification: Christians are invited to understand this religious attachment, which finds its roots in biblical tradition, without, however, making their own any particular religious interpretation of this relationship. And just to make it unmistakable, the Vatican adds: The existence of the State of Israel and its political options should be envisaged not in a perspective which is in itself religious, but in their reference to the common principles of international law. Bingo. That is exactly what the patriarchs of Jerusalem are reaffirming. And they are completely right. This is why I would not call myself a Zionist, or a Christian Zionist, or any other kind of Zionist. Not because I dislike Jews — I don’t. Not because I oppose the State of Israel — I don’t. I am broadly supportive of the nation-state of Israel but not because of Zionist religious claims, which I don’t believe are true. I do not believe Jews are entitled to the Holy Land because of a theological premise. As a Christian, I believe the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament. Christ is the New Covenant. The Church is the spiritual Israel. Those Old Testament promises are fulfilled — not suspended, not postponed. And I also don’t believe that occupying a piece of land 2,000 years ago grants a perpetual title deed. If that were the case, we’d have to hand Mount Rushmore back to the Lakota Sioux. I don’t believe that logic anywhere. That said, I still broadly support Israel because I don’t like the alternatives. I don’t want Iran running the Holy Land. I don’t think the Muslims have been particularly protective of the holy sites. The Ottoman Empire is gone. Baldwin’s Kingdom of Jerusalem isn’t coming back anytime soon. The real-world options are limited. From the standpoint of international law, the Jews were granted territory by the British Empire, recognized by the United Nations, and then defended it through war. Like it or not, under the modern nation-state system, that matters. But that isn’t Zionism. And it certainly isn’t biblical prophecy. You can support Israel without subscribing to the relatively novel theology of Christian Zionism. You can like Jews without turning geopolitics into eschatology. I love the Jews. I grew up in New York. I’m extremely philosemitic. If you told me I had to choose between hanging out with the guys making pastrami sandwiches or the guys making shawarma, I’m choosing pastrami 100 times out of 100. Okay — 999 times out of 1,000. And you can do that without embracing a theology invented in the 19th century and dressed up as ancient Christianity. That is clearly what the patriarchs of Jerusalem are saying. And anyone pretending this is antisemitic, radical, or some kind of rupture with tradition is, frankly, completely insane.

If Minnesota churchgoers expected local prosecutors to protect them after anti-ICE disruptors halted a worship service on Sunday, they might want to think again: A top staffer for Hennepin County’s Soros-backed prosecutor was among the protesters. Jamael Lundy works as Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, is married to St. Paul City Council member Anika Bowie, and is running for State Senate as a Democrat, according to his campaign website. Protesters could face federal charges for disrupting a church service, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has said. In his role in Moriarty’s office, Lundy is the very staffer who would interface with the federal government, including on an existing investigation into Moriarty boasting that she takes into account a suspect’s “racial identity” when making charging decisions. Lundy was interviewed by Don Lemon as a group of protesters gathered, holding an upside-down American flag, to plan the takeover of the worship service — inadvertently undermining the point that Lemon was trying to make, which was that the protests were not backed by local officials. “People are fighting back and organizing, in large part without support from officials, local officials. There are some people who want to be involved, local officials, but they’re doing this all on their own, this is all grassroots,” Lemon said. Pulling a member of the crowd out at random, he asked: “Without giving out what the operation is, why are you out here?” The man turned out to be Lundy, who answered: “I’m here to support our community activists. I’m currently a candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 65. I feel like it’s important if you’re going to be representing people in office, that you’re out here with the people as well.” Lemon seemed to ignore what he had said and re-emphasized the opposite point, saying, “The people are organizing on their own, even without representatives or officials, and hoping that everyone gets involved. This is grassroots.” Lundy replied: “We all we got. I’m actually married to an elected official; I work closely with elected officials, but direct action from the community, certainly within the lines of the law, is so important to show that we have one voice.” Protesters then stormed the church, leaving people fleeing, with some falling on ice as they raced for the exits. Protesters said they aimed to end the church service, and harangue parishioners, because they believed that a pastor at the church also worked for ICE. Inside the church, a man who appears to be Lundy can be seen raising his fist and chanting the name of the pastor followed by “OUT, OUT,” as well as “Who shut this down? We shut this down.” One protester said, “This ain’t God’s house, it’s the house of the devil.” Lemon celebrated, saying, “You have to make people uncomfortable in these times. You have to be willing to go into places and make people uncomfortable, that is what this country is about.” Lemon then interviewed a pastor, who said, “Our church had gathered for worship, which we do every Sunday, and we were interrupted by this group of protesters. We asked them to leave, and obviously they have not left. This is unacceptable, it’s shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.” Lundy’s campaign website says that he previously worked for Minnesota House Rep. Carlos Mariani, the DFL House Caucus Campaign, Congresswoman Betty McCullum, and the state teachers union. Lundy also founded “Black Operations Public Relations LLC,” and runs a company called “Homes for Homies Property Management LLC,” “providing affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.” The Homes for Homies website says: “He founded this company with the vision of improving housing access to all, but specifically to those with low income, criminal backgrounds, and people of color. Since it’s [sic] founding, home for homies [sic] has grown from a property management company with a goal of removing barriers to housing to a real estate development company centered around expanding housing affordability through expanding housing supply. As Home for Homies continues to expand, its founding values of making profit through making a difference remains [sic].” On Facebook, he suggests that his “profit” comes from federal Section 8 funds and implies that he would rent homes to illegal immigrants, writing: “It’s become increasingly apparent how much folks are hurting from the economic impact of the lawless federal occupation of the Twin Cities and as a result, I’m seeing the longest vacancy in my tenure as a landlord. For that reason, I am intentionally reducing the price by $300 a month for this 3/4 bedroom listing on the East Side of Saint Paul, far below the normal price I set based off of section 8 guidance. So if your [sic] looking for a deeply affordable 3-4 bedroom unit, without credit or criminal background barriers, open to all residents of all statuses, please contact me via DM.” The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is investigating Minneapolis for potentially discriminating by steering federal housing subsidies to “people of color, Indigenous people, and/or immigrant communities.” The Daily Wire has reached out to Lundy, Moriarty, and Dhillon.

Despite mainstream narratives, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is largely targeting illegals who have pending criminal charges or convictions in the United States — in addition to the crime of being in the U.S. illegally. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said last month that the Department of Homeland Security law enforcement had arrested more than 600,000 illegals, 70% of whom had been charged or convicted of a crime in the United States. Additionally, as stressed by McLaughlin, that statistic pertains to charges or convictions only in the U.S., not other nations. Meaning, the percentage of criminals being targeted is likely even higher. “DHS is targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens — including murderers, rapists, gang members, pedophiles, and terrorists,” McLaughlin said in a statement published in November. “[Seventy percent] of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges just in the U.S.” “This statistic doesn’t account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, INTERPOL notices, human rights abusers, gang members, terrorists, etc.,” the assistant secretary explained. “The list goes on.” McLaughlin said that the U.S. is a “nation of laws,” and DHS is “committed to enforcing those laws, all of which are just.” This past week, a law enforcement agent went viral for addressing protesters and members of the media while agents were on duty. In this particular case, the agent said authorities were picking up a child sex offender, underscoring the absurdity of the protesters. “We’re here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking,” the agent says in the now-viral video. “That vehicle has been honking and impeding our investigation while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender. That’s who you guys are protecting. Insane.” God bless the men & women of @ICEgov @CBP who risk their lives to arrest these criminals. pic.twitter.com/eDJQLCrjZh — Tricia McLaughlin (@TriciaOhio) January 18, 2026 Moreover, DHS reports a massive 1,300% jump in assaults against ICE agents. Still, coordinated obstruction, protests, and riots against ICE agents have raged in liberal cities across the nation, most notably in Minneapolis. Liberal politicians and their counterparts in the legacy media have only emboldened such behavior, too, by dehumanizing ICE agents and ignoring or even supporting violence and obstruction efforts from anti-ICE activists.

During the Biden administration, we all became very familiar with the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, otherwise known as the FACE Act. This was the Clinton-era law that had been mostly dormant for the past two decades. Then Merrick Garland took over the DOJ, and the FACE Act was used to prosecute dozens of Christians who demonstrated in front of abortion clinics. In some cases, pro-life demonstrators woke up to SWAT teams outside their homes.  Meanwhile, the DOJ ignored violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. It was a ruthless series of prosecutions that targeted Christians — including elderly women in their 80s — and threatened them with ten years in federal prison. But there’s another element of the FACE Act that never gets mentioned. As it turns out, the FACE Act doesn’t only protect abortion clinics. The law also makes it a federal crime to obstruct or interfere with anyone, “lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” Yes, the same law that bans protests at abortion clinics, also bans blockades of churches. So one way to think of the FACE Act is that it protects Leftists at their temples, where they conduct human sacrifice. And by the same token, with the same legal force, it protects Christians when they go to their actual churches. That means — if we’re still pretending that the rule of law means anything — that FBI SWAT teams need to immediately conduct pre-dawn raids on the homes of everyone involved in the act of domestic terrorism that took place on Sunday at a Baptist church called “Cities Church” in St. Paul, near Minneapolis. This was an attack that was infinitely worse than any peaceful pro-life demonstration at an abortion clinic. It’s an effort by anti-American communists not simply to interfere with Americans’ First Amendment rights, but also to wage war on Christianity and religion in general — which is always, everywhere, the primary nemesis of communists. Marxists want you loyal to the state, not God. The pro-lifers at the abortion clinics, on the other hand, were not seeking to dismantle Western civilization and prevent society from functioning. But that’s exactly what the Left is doing. Acting on the assumption that the pastor of the church worked with ICE, Leftist rioters stormed into the church, as people sat in the pews, and began screaming and intimidating everyone inside.  Watch:   Credit: Speak MPLS/@EndWokeness/X.com/YouTube.com Yes, you heard them shouting “Hands up Don’t Shoot.” The Leftists brought back some of the classic hoaxes, in addition to the hoaxes they invented last week.  “Hands up Don’t Shoot,” lest we forget, was invented after Michael Brown roughed up a store owner, then charged at a police officer, attacked him and tried to take his gun. There’s no evidence whatsoever that Brown ever said “Hands up Don’t Shoot” before the officer defended himself. The alleged “witnesses” who claimed otherwise weren’t credible — either because they changed their story after-the-fact, or because they explicitly recanted their claim. There’s no dispute about it: Michael Brown was shot to death while he was trying to murder a police officer. That’s why there was blood all over the inside door panel of the officer’s car, as well as the officer’s firearm and uniform. It’s why the officer had cuts on his neck and bruising on his face. It’s why the officer’s gun went off in the car; Brown was struggling for it. And then, seconds later, Brown charged at the officer again. The officer was not, in fact, a craven white supremacist looking to shoot a random black person who had surrendered. That was the determination of Obama’s Justice Department, which made every effort to assist the BLM mobs and lend legitimacy to all of their lies. But they simply couldn’t do it, because it was a total fabrication that defied common sense, as well as the evidence. We can’t gloss over the fact that, in 2026, Leftists are still clinging to this flagrant lie. The truth doesn’t matter in the slightest to these people. They will fabricate the most obscene, incendiary lies that they can think of. And they will repeat those lies, relentlessly, for more than a decade, long after they’ve been debunked. There is no way to “win” the debate over immigration with these people. There’s no way to convince them that, actually, ICE is deporting extremely dangerous illegal aliens in a lawful, restrained manner. They don’t care about the truth. They will concoct falsehood after falsehood, with no evidence whatsoever, and they will spread those falsehoods all over Reddit and BlueSky, after laundering them through ProPublica articles and so on. Spend five minutes on any of those websites, and you’ll see exactly what I mean. An illegal alien will make a random accusation — like “ICE Stole a 10th Grader’s Phone, Then Seemingly Sold It for Cash,” which is a real headline on Yahoo News right now — and they’ll run with it. They don’t care if their claim is completely unproven hearsay that makes no sense, for the same reason they won’t care if you eventually debunk it. They are not honest people. And their ideology is incompatible with the future existence of this country. That’s why every single person who participated in this act of domestic terrorism at the church — starting with Don Lemon — should be in handcuffs right now. Lemon live streamed the invasion of the church, during which he offered precisely the quality of commentary you’d expect from a man with no audience and no job.  Watch: “Disrupt. Make them uncomfortable” – Don Lemon in MN after he stormed a church to “protest ICE” pic.twitter.com/6PGPRaUCZO — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 18, 2026 Credit: @EndWokeness/X.com This is just the beginning, says Don Lemon. You can expect more churches to be raided by BLM because after all, the point of protest is to “make people uncomfortable.” According to Don Lemon, you don’t actually have a right to worship, or a right to a peaceful, orderly society. It’s just like the Civil Rights Movement, he claims. The Civil Rights movement, he says, was about precisely “these kinds of protests.” That’s a claim that really makes you think — but not in the way Don Lemon intends you to think. In particular, it makes you wonder if maybe Donald Trump is right when he points out the enormous amount of damage the Civil Rights Era did to our country, and how much depravity was involved in that movement. Leftists like Don Lemon are coming right out and saying, in no uncertain terms, that the Civil Rights Movement was led by thugs and domestic terrorists — the kind of people who would happily storm into a House of God, scream barely literate slogans and bleat like animals until decent people are forced to leave. And really, isn’t that the Civil Rights Movement in a nutshell? Doesn’t that describe “white flight?” That’s basically what Don Lemon is telling us. According to Lemon, this is basically what the Civil Rights Movement was. This is from another livestream of the church invasion yesterday: Watch: NEW: Completely unhinged liberal lunatic starts screaming at Christians trying to worship at a church in Minnesota. “As you can see, all these pretend Christians, all these comfortable white people who are living lavish, comfortable lives…” “Touch me again and see what… pic.twitter.com/jUCi2HYTVH — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) January 18, 2026 Credit: @CollinRugg/X.com If that’s what the Civil Rights Movement was, then in that case it would mean that we shouldn’t have listened to a word those people had to say. We should have thrown them in prison, instead of letting them engage in a decades-long campaign of anti-white discrimination that would substantially degrade every single aspect of day-to-day life in this country. Maybe it’s too late for that, in any case. But Don Lemon wasn’t done there. He went on to berate another pastor in the church — not the alleged ICE employee — about how the First Amendment supposedly protects his right to commit federal crimes. Watch: NEW: Don Lemon tries lecturing a pastor on the First Amendment after a mob of far leftists stormed a church in Minneapolis. Pastor: “This is unacceptable.

Imagine if a dozen of those fabled MAGA Republicans barged into Don Lemon’s multimillion-dollar home in New York and began screaming as loud as they possibly could. What are the odds Lemon would welcome the rioters because, after all, the whole point of protest is to make people uncomfortable? Lemon is obviously trespassing and violating the FACE Act, at a minimum. There’s no “podcaster” exception to the law. He’s clearly joining the riot for ideological reasons. He’s open about it. He should be prosecuted. And he shouldn’t be the only one. A former NAACP executive named Nekima Levy Armstrong led the riot and live-streamed the proceedings.

Yes, she lies about Renee Good being “murdered.” And yes, she laments the fact that a Venezuelan was shot after he attacked ICE officers. And yes, all of that is disqualifying. No one should take this woman seriously. But she does mention the story of the 6-month-old child who was reportedly tear-gassed, apparently by federal law enforcement. Of course, she leaves out the context. Leftists were rioting in the streets over the shooting of that Venezuelan illegal alien, who attacked an ICE agent with a shovel. We all remember the footage: The mob ripped a weapons locker out of an FBI SUV. They stole confidential documents. They spray-painted ICE vehicles with profanities, and so on. It was a lawless situation that was created, entirely, by Leftists. And apparently by accident, a woman claims she drove her 6-month old child into that lawless situation, and the child was exposed to tear gas that was intended for use as crowd control. This is why it’s a serious crime, and a great evil, to create lawless situations that affect an entire neighborhood. This is why we have laws against rioting, and demolishing FBI vehicles, and harassing law enforcement. When you create lawless situations, in every case, you affect the lives of many innocent people in ways that are highly unpredictable and potentially fatal. You make it harder for innocent people to get where they’re going. You can delay ambulances and other first responders. And you subject innocent people to potential injury — including at the moment when law enforcement attempts to restore order, which they have a responsibility to do. Any time law enforcement personnel are required to bring order to chaos in the streets, there is risk involved. That’s why you shouldn’t create chaos in the streets in the first place. Leftists know all this. They don’t care. Their only goal is to destroy their political opponents and seize as much power as they can. They certainly aren’t upset about ICE “asking for papers” or pulling people over without cause. That’s why Leftists, themselves, are now pulling people over without cause in Minneapolis. Take a look at this post from the infamous Left-wing activist Will Stancil, for example. He posted this message as he was following a random Ford Expedition with the words “PRESS” written on the back of it. Apparently, Stancil was convinced it was really an ICE vehicle in disguise.  So here’s what he wrote. Screenshot; @whstancil.bsky.social “Btw whichever press crew this is, you need to find a more official way to tell us, or even just pull over and show us your credentials when you get a tail. We followed you for 20 minutes because you were acting exactly like ICE does when they catch a tail.” Yes, Leftists are now demanding that random vehicles “pull over and show us your credentials” when they start following them. They are literally demanding that other people — who are minding their own business, on the public roadways — pull over and produce their papers, or else they’ll face indefinite harassment. And they don’t sense the irony here, even for a second. They are everything that they accuse ICE of being. They are authoritarians. They are criminals. The important thing to understand is that these people aren’t concerned about civil liberties, or the appropriate use of force, or any of that. The only reason they’re upset about federal law enforcement is that, at the moment, Leftists don’t control federal law enforcement. These people spend every waking moment of their lives dreaming about assuming control of federal law enforcement agencies, and using them to crush their political enemies. All of their complaints about ICE amount to projection — probably the most profound case of projection in modern American history. As if to illustrate that point, just a few weeks ago, Tim Walz warned that ICE would be raiding churches. Yes, ICE would be raiding churches — not the Antifa/BLM mobs, but law enforcement agents. Watch: Tim Walz was morally outraged over the holidays, warning that ICE would target church services. “Because that’s who they are.” Surely Tim will be equally outraged by his far-left radicals storming a church service. pic.twitter.com/Tag65hN98f — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 19, 2026 @WesternLensman/X.com Again, they’re always guilty of what they accuse you of doing. They badly want to be cruising the streets, pulling people over for no reason, ripping families out of churches, and throwing their political opponents in the back of vans. And if you still doubt that, listen to this “scanner traffic” from inside Will Stancil’s vehicle. He films himself harassing some random vehicle for about 20 minutes, honking his horn the whole time. This time, he’s harassing a pick-up truck. And you can hear, as he tails this vehicle on the streets of Minneapolis, that he’s listening to various Antifa LARPers communicate with one another, like they’re police officers, about the locations of potential ICE activity. Watch: The radio chatter is so surreal https://t.co/a6E5DMWaOS — mister employed (@Forever_Wario) January 17, 2026 Credit: @Forever_Wario/X.com They’re doing everything they can to transform America into a stereotypical, unlivable, loud, noisy, foreign dystopia. They want to reproduce every element of the third world, right down to the constant, inane honking all the time. The foreign population is certainly in place. The fraud and degeneracy is occurring at a good clip. And now, right on cue, we have the third-world honking. We mentioned, on our show last week, that anti-ICE rioters are using Signal voice calls and “dispatchers” to plan their ambushes. The “dispatchers” look up license plates, compare them to their databases, and order their Antifa cells to various locations. This is what that system looks like, in practice. Half the time, the losers are directing other losers to harass pickup trucks and SUVs, for no reason whatsoever. But sometimes, noteworthy events do happen on these patrols. Occasionally — and it’s becoming more frequent — the dispatchers will direct rioters to harass clean-cut white guys who they suspect, without any evidence, may be ICE agents. As Alpha News just reported, a group of tech workers dining at a deli were just accosted by a mob and accused of being federal agents, as well as pedophiles. “What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining. … According to [one of the men], the message stated the presence of ICE agents had been “confirmed by the owner” of the restaurant, who [the man] identified as the woman who rang up their order. ..“Next thing we know, people are yelling, ‘I hope you die,’ and calling us pedophiles.”” Here’s what that looked like: Credit: AlphaNews/YouTube.com This is footage that we need to play, again and again, on repeat, at every opportunity. This is what the Left is. They will form a deranged mob, in an instant, to harass white men eating lunch who — in their racially-charged insanity — they believe to be ICE agents. They will take hours out of their day to stalk and assault white men — American citizens — for the benefit of foreign criminals. And then, when it becomes clear that the men are not ICE agents, the mob doesn’t care at all. They say the men “look” like ICE agents — meaning, they’re white men. So the attack continues. Something similar happened to a random white guy walking down the sidewalk.

White men, in the eyes of the Left, are colonizers. They think white men have engineered a racist, sexist, patriarchal system. They’re privileged. They’re guilty of the worst crimes imaginable. Therefore, on sight, you can harass them. You can follow them around for hours. You can throw them in prisons for fake crimes, like arresting a career felon who’s overdosing on fentanyl, as we saw with Derek Chavuin. And you can murder white men too — on camera, in front of everyone, as we saw with Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson. The Left will celebrate all of it. The Somalis are getting in on the action, too. They’re tired of being exposed as fraudsters and professional degenerates. They’re furious that the Trump administration has revoked their “temporary protected status,” which lasted more than 30 years, and which only existed in the first place because Somalis are incapable of self-governance. So now they’re lashing out. A Somali just stole the independent journalist Nick Sortor’s camera and dragged him in a car. Watch: ? BREAKING: A group of Somali thugs just ROBBED me of my $1,000 camera in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis They then DRAGGED ME DOWN THE STREET as my hand got trapped in their door handle NOBODY bothered helping DHS MUST RAID THIS PLACE! pic.twitter.com/DXI426E9AY — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) January 18, 2026 Credit: @nicksortor/X.com These are the kind of people that Leftists are rallying to defend. They’ll happily murder you, without a second thought, if you expose their fraud. They’ve imported their primitive, violent, incestuous culture from their homeland, where goat herding for a dollar a day is considered a prestigious gig. And now that they’ve gotten a taste of real money — money that isn’t theirs — they aren’t going back without a fight. And Leftists certainly aren’t going to let them go back without a fight, either. As Alpha News’ affiliate “Crime Watch” has reported, Minnesota assistant Attorney General Anne Kealing has just joined some of the anti-ICE chats that we talked about last week. This is a chat where members are openly discussing their plans to stalk, harass and intimidate ICE agents. And Anne Kealing knew all of that. But she joined anyway, and offered her contact information in case she could assist any of these rioters. This is a conspiracy to obstruct ICE. It could not be more obvious. And the DOJ needs to shut it down before it spreads — which is exactly what’s happening. As Steve Robinson reports for the Maine Wire — one of the only worthwhile outlets in the entire state: “[Secretary of State] Shenna Bellows has ordered Maine state workers to spy on ICE agents and report their locations to her. The order came down the same day Bellows revoked confidential plates for undercover agents.” The point of this, of course, is to enable anti-ICE terrorists to share license plate information belonging to ICE officers, so their “dispatchers” can deploy terrorists to interrupt ICE operations. They want to know where the ICE agents are, at all times, so they can hound them and obstruct them. What this means is clear: Shenna Bellows, like the leaders of the state of Minnesota, belongs in federal prison. We are well past the point where any other outcome is acceptable. There are signs, at the moment, that even Tim Walz realizes that Democrats will regret waging war against this country. First he posted a conciliatory message on social media, directed at the Trump administration. Then he permitted local police officers to keep Leftist rioters away from the federal building that ICE is using to detain illegal aliens in Minneapolis. Here’s what that looked like the other day: Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies have blocked off the street in front of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, forming a vehicle line between protesters and ICE agents. pic.twitter.com/YtrCL9iV5Y — IRT Media (@IRT_Media) January 18, 2026 These are indications that Tim Walz wants to step back from the brink. He wants to salvage his reputation, his political career and his freedom. But it’s too late for that. Tim Walz is a criminal, many times over. So is Jacob Frey and the attorney general of the state. So is every Leftist who participates in these “Rapid Response Signal chats,” harasses ICE officers, berates random white men in public, and storms into a church. For once in the history of this country, these leftists need to suffer the consequences they’ve routinely inflicted on the Right. If Roger Stone earned a pre-dawn SWAT raid for supposedly “lying to Congress” — a body of politicians who lie every day — then Don Lemon has earned a Bearcat taking down his front door in Sag Harbor, followed by a tactical team rappelling into his living room and hauling him away like Maduro. That’s not hyperbole. It’s not a rhetorical device. It’s something we actually need to do, in order to put an end to a long-running campaign of Leftist domestic terrorism, to restore faith in the rule of law in this country, and to enable ICE officers to carry out the mission they’ve been ordered to do, by a democratically elected president. These people are committing felonies on camera. They’re totally unafraid at the moment. And they’re making it clear that, if they ever assume power again, they will use the power of the federal government to hunt us down in the streets. The only way to prevent them from doing so is to remove as many of them as possible from the country, and to put the rest of the insurrectionists in federal prison. That’s what Tim Walz is afraid of right now. That’s what he believes is coming. The same is true of Don Lemon, who put out this video late last night. Watch: Don Lemon is now claiming that the MAGA administration is making stuff up, and that he didn’t storm the church. On his livestream Don Lemon stated “people need to feel terrified. This is what protesting is all about”— after seeing children running out of the church scared.… pic.twitter.com/XtHcEITRcb — American AF ?? (@iAnonPatriot) January 19, 2026 Credit: @iAnonPatriot/X.com We all saw Don Lemon accosting the pastor. We know he mocked the terrified children, and celebrated the fact that he was disturbing the peace. We know he wasn’t engaging in any kind of protest, nor any kind of journalism. And Don Lemon knows that too. Really, he’s daring the administration to call his bluff. That’s exactly what all of these Leftists are doing, from the leaders of Maine and Minnesota, to the BLM rioters, to the anti-ICE open-borders communists. They’re committing crimes on camera, then daring the Trump administration to throw them in prison. All of this will end, very quickly, if the White House takes that step — if they declare an insurrection, send in the military, and begin the mass arrests. Before any more churches are stormed, before any white men are hounded and assaulted in the streets, and before any more people die, Leftists in Minneapolis simply must be taught a lesson. They must face the one thing they’ve spent their entire lives avoiding: the universal consequences of their own depravity.
