The scenes in Minneapolis are getting quite chaotic. A large group of anti-ICE protesters has taken over the street where a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 37-year-old man after the man violently resisted arrest and was found to be with a firearm. Take a look at the “Minneapolis Autonomous Zone” below: NO ICE ZONE Protestors have declared Minneapolis Autonomous Zone 2.0 at the site of today’s shooting. The zone has 2 layers of makeshift walls in both directions.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the shooting happened during an ICE enforcement operation in south Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS said agents were trying to make arrests when Renee Good allegedly used her vehicle as a weapon, which the agency said prompted a federal agent to fire shots in self-defense. Following the shooting, agitators took control of the street where the shooting took place and used makeshift barricades with chairs, trash cans, wood shipping pallets, bicycles and more. Fox News Digital went to the area surrounding the makeshift barricades and observed agitators directing traffic. No police officers were observed nearby. Here’s Vice President JD Vance’s thoughts on the chaos in Minneapolis: This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities. — JD Vance (@JDVance) January 25, 2026 During the George Floyd riots in 2020, Antifa previously established a similar zone called Chaz in Seattle. Remember this: History repeats: lawless zones lead to chaos and bloodshed. Peaceful protests don’t need barricades or armed occupations. — Manish Sinwal (@Manishsinwal001) January 9, 2026

Senator Ted Cruz has some major explaining to do. Newly obtained secret recordings reveal Sen. Cruz trashed President Trump and JD Vance during private meetings. Cruz reportedly made ill comments about Trump and Vance during a secret meeting with donors. Axios reported the content of the recording exclusively: Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican eyeing a 2028 White House run, torched Vice President Vance and ridiculed President Trump’s tariff policy during private meetings with donors, according to recordings obtained by Axios. Cruz’s rebukes, during two meetings last year, are some of the harshest criticisms of Trump and Vance by a fellow Republican since they took office a year ago. The recordings — nearly 10 minutes in total — provide an unvarnished look at how Cruz is positioning himself as a traditional free trade, pro-interventionist Republican ahead of a possible 2028 primary campaign against the less hawkish Vance. During his talks, Cruz cast Vance as a pawn of conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson. Cruz has accused Carlson of promoting antisemitism and an anti-Israel foreign policy in their well-publicized spats. The recordings of Cruz were provided to Axios by a Republican source. They were made in early and middle 2025. In the latter recording, Cruz warns donors that Trump’s tariffs could decimate the economy and lead to his impeachment. He tells them that after Trump introduced the tariffs in early April 2025, Cruz and a few other senators had a call with Trump in which they urged him to stand down. Cruz says the lengthy call, which stretched past midnight, “did not go well,” and that Trump was “yelling” and “cursing.” “Trump was in a bad mood,” Cruz tells the donors. “I’ve been in conversations where he was very happy. This was not one of them.” Cruz says he told Trump: “Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10–20% at the supermarket, we’re going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath.” “You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.” Trump’s response, according to Cruz: “F**k you, Ted.” Here an excerpt from the recordings: NEW: Ted Cruz torched JD Vance and ridiculed Trump’s tariff policy during private meetings with donors, according to recordings obtained by Axios. “Tucker created JD.

JD is Tucker’s protégé, and they are one and the same.” Cruz on Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs: “I’ve told my team if anyone uses those words, they will be terminated on the spot. That is not language we use.” Mint reported that in the recordings, Cruz claimed Tucker Carlson and JD Vance were behind Trump’s former National Security adviser Mike Waltz being removed: Cruz alleged that Vance and Carlson were involved in the removal of former national security adviser Mike Waltz, who supported military action against Iran, according to the recordings obtained by Axios. “Waltz supported being vigorous against Iran and bombing Iran — and Tucker and JD took Mike out,” Cruz said. Vance has publicly said he supported US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last June. Cruz also said Vance and Carlson backed the appointment of Army veteran Daniel Davis — a critic of U.S. support for Israel — to a senior intelligence role. Tucker Carlson reportedly told Axios that he “didn’t have anything to do” with the removal of Waltz or the hiring of Davis. Is this a sign Cruz will run in 2028?

Some tragic news has been reported in New York City. New York City authorities have reported that three homeless people have been found dead as temperatures in New York dropped significantly due to the ongoing Winter storm. A preliminary investigation has revealed that all three deaths are believed to be due to brutal winter weather that has hit the Empire State. NBC New York reported more on the tragic news: Three people were found dead across New York City on Saturday, when temperatures had dropped down into the teens. NYPD officials confirmed three bodies had been found — two in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan — between 7 and 9 a.m. None of the bodies had physical signs of trauma and investigators suspected each died from weather-related circumstances, according to sources familiar with the matter. A 67-year-old man was first discovered on a sidewalk around 7:45 a.m. on 3rd Avenue, police said. The second and third bodies were found almost two hours later. Officials said a man in his 30s was spotted on an outdoor staircase at a building along Warren Street in Brooklyn. Across the borough in Canarsie, a woman in her 60s was discovered outside around the same time. The city’s medical examiner will conduct individual investigations to determine the official causes of death for each of the people found Saturday morning. Fox and Friends reported on the story too: Three homeless people were found dead on NYC streets as a historic winter storm approaches. New Yorkers can call 311 or use the city app to request outreach for those in need. | @nycemergencymgt pic.twitter.com/0cHGPucabh — FOX & Friends (@foxandfriends) January 25, 2026 The deaths come just weeks after Democrat mayor Zohran Madani was inaugurated as the city’s mayor. NBC New York reported what Mamdani had warned residents prior to the storm hitting New York City: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke about the city’s preparations ahead of the anticipated snowstorm, warning that temperatures will be more chilling this weekend than they have been in eight years. Snowfall is expected to start around midnight and fall at its heaviest rate tomorrow morning and early afternoon, Mamdani said. “By early Monday morning, the heaviest of the weather will have passed, although some precipitation could continue through the day,” Mamdani said. “We expect at least 8 to 9 inches of snow, and likely more. This will not just be snow. This storm will also bring with it intense cold, a prolonged period of frigid temperatures that will last through the next week.” Many locations across the tri-state on Saturday recorded seeing record high temperatures, including reporting sites at JFK and LaGuardia airports. Mamdani has since responded to the incident by announcing the locations of warming centers in New York City: As dangerously cold temperatures move through New York, we have opened 10 warming centers across all five boroughs to provide safe, heated indoor spaces for New Yorkers in need.⁰ ⁰Centers will be open through at least Monday evening at the following locations:⁰ ⁰Bronx… — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) January 25, 2026

Is this just another hoax, like the Jussie Smollett incident? Democrat Congressman of Florida, Maxwell Frost, has claimed he was punched in the face while attending a film festival in Utah. Maxwell, in a post on X, claimed a man approached him and told him that Trump was going to deport him before punching him in the face. People provided the following details on the incident: Florida Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost was allegedly assaulted while attending a party during the Sundance Film Festival. On Friday, Jan. 23, Frost, 29, attended the talent agency CAA’s Sundance Film Festival Celebration at Park City’s High West Saloon in Utah, Variety and CNN reported. He claimed in an Instagram post that he was racially harassed and physically assaulted during the event. “Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face,” Frost wrote on Instagram on Jan. 24. “He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.” “Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident,” Frost concluded. The Park City Police Department (PCP) has confirmed that a suspect, whom they’ve identified as Christian Young, assaulted Frost and another woman at the private party, per CNN. Young “unlawfully” entered the event and carried out the alleged attack after he was initially turned away, according to Variety.

It looks like the meteorologists were right. Well, at least in most states. Dozens of states have been hit by a winter storm, leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans without power. The winter storm has also caused over 10,000 flights to be cancelled, the most on a single day since the COVID-19 pandemic began. KOMO News had these details to report on the power outages: The massive winter storm sprawling across the United States has stretched over 1,500 miles from the Southern Plains to the East Coast states. Power outages across the nation have continued to climb as ice spreads and builds in parts of the South where it has been falling since yesterday. Over 730,000 customers so far are without power across eight states in the storm’s path, according to poweroutage.us, with most outages hitting the Southern states of Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi. After hitting the south on Saturday night, forecasters say the storm is expected to move into the Northeast, dumping about 1 to 2 feet of snow from Washington, DC through New York and Boston. The storm has also set the stage for a brutal travel day on Sunday, with some of the nation’s busiest airports warning of widespread cancellations and delays. Here are some of the scenes of the states that got hit with snow: CYBERTRUCKS SPINNING DONUTS ON ICY STREETS Winter storm turned Dallas into a snowy playground.

Airlines have canceled more than 10,00 U.S. flights for Sunday, according to the flight-tracking site FlightAware. That’s the most for a single day since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and more the double the number of U.S. flights that were canceled for Saturday. The National Weather Service says the storm is bringing widespread heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain from the Southern Rockies to New England through Monday. “Extremely cold air will follow, prolonging dangerous travel and infrastructure impacts into next week,” it said on Sunday. “Severe thunderstorms may produce damaging gusts and tornadoes across the eastern Gulf Coast states Sunday morning and afternoon.” More than 1,800 U.S. flights have already been canceled for Monday.

Amy Klobuchar, a decidedly odd woman, wants to be Minnesota governor. She is anti-ICE and anti-free speech. Klobuchar demands that ICE leave Minnesota.

Legendary American rock climber Alex Honnold stunned the world yesterday when he scaled the 1,667-foot skyscraper Taipei 101 in Taiwan without any safety equipment. The entire 90-minute event was broadcast live on Netflix on Saturday with a ten-second delay after being postponed due to weather earlier in the week.  “It was like what a view, it’s incredible, what a beautiful day,” the 40-year-old climber said afterward, per Associated Press. “It was very windy, so I was like, don’t fall off the spire. I was trying to balance nicely. But it was, what an incredible position, what a beautiful way to see Taipei.” Honnold has done major climbs before, but nothing to this scale. Spectators watched captivated as the climber ascended the massive skyscraper, at one point, going hands-free, gripping only with his legs. A huge crowd of onlookers watched from the ground and in the building, which Hannold said was not the usual for him.  ALEX HONNOLD AFTER COMPLETING HIS FREE SOLO OF TAIPEI 101: “Sick.” The 101 story climb took 1 hour and 35 minutes #SkyscraperLIVE pic.twitter.com/TIzeRqiUcM — Netflix (@netflix) January 25, 2026 “When I was leaving the ground, you’re like oh it’s kind of intense, there’s so many people watching,” he said, per the AP. “But then honestly, they’re all wishing me well. I mean basically it just makes the whole experience feel almost more festive, all these nice people are out supporting me and having a good time.” The father of two first went viral in 2017 after becoming the first person to “free solo” on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, climbing 2,900 feet without safety equipment. The 2018 biographical documentary “Free Solo,” is about Hannold’s climbing career and won a BAFTA and an Academy Award. “Free solo” in rock climbing means climbing without any ropes or harnesses. It’s the most dangerous form of climbing and often proves fatal. One mistake can easily result in death.  Another climber, Alain Robert from France, climbed Taipei 101 in 2004 upon its completion. At the time, it was the tallest building in the world. However, Robert utilized ropes and harnesses for his ascent.
