Administrators from a university in Minneapolis tried to block ICE from arresting an illegal immigrant sex offender roaming their campus, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal immigration agents located Jesus Saucedo-Portillo, who also had a past arrest for a DWI, on Saturday as he was getting into his car at Augsburg University. The officers were quickly met by a school official and campus security who “attempted to obstruct the arrest,” DHS said on X Monday. ICE officers told the school officials that they had a warrant for Saucedo-Portillo’s arrest, but a university administrator told them that they were “violating university policies,” DHS said. “Our officers informed them that federal law supersedes any University policy and that if campus security would not stop blocking the law enforcement vehicle from exiting, they would be obstructing justice,” DHS said. Still, the school administrator “continued” to block ICE’s vehicle, ordering campus security to stand in front of it, according to DHS. ICE was able to “use the minimum amount of force necessary” to arrest Saucedo-Portillo. School officials claimed that “masked ICE agents” showed up on campus and targeted an undergraduate student while also confronting individuals outside of a dorm, according to Fox 9. The feds, they said, pointed their weapons at students and school officials. “They aimed weapons at witnesses that included staff and students while many more students watched from their windows,” an Augsburg spokesperson wrote. “These tactics, with the implicit threat of violence, are unacceptable, dangerous, and profoundly disturbing.” “As an urban university, Augsburg has long-standing, professional relationships with local law enforcement, and we are accustomed to partnering closely on public safety issues,” the spokesperson added. “What happened on December 6 was far outside the scope of our normal experience. Our focus in the wake of this traumatic incident is on the safety and well-being of our campus community. Now more than ever, our mission of education is critical to the healthy functioning of a free, democratic society.” On December 6, ICE officers arrested Jesus Saucedo-Portillo, a criminal illegal alien while he was getting into his vehicle. He is a registered sex offender and has a previous arrest for driving while intoxicated.⁰⁰A university Administrator and campus security attempted to… https://t.co/Tyqz6PkOEz pic.twitter.com/7ftuCI6quO — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) December 8, 2025 Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said his officers received “at least two 911 calls” that there were “people with guns” on campus. “Police officers from the first precinct responded, and they were able to confirm with the university public safety officials there that there had been some federal law enforcement there and they had left prior to the arrival of the police,” O’Hara told Fox 9. “They’re really scared, both the American citizens are afraid as well as people who have simply lived here and been contributing to the community for many years,” he said. The Trump administration deployed more than 100 ICE agents from across the country to Minneapolis after it emerged that dozens of Somali fraudsters in the sanctuary state allegedly stole billions of welfare funds, funneling the cash through fake nonprofits and shell companies back to Somalia — and even the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab. In response, Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey signed an executive order preventing ICE from operating on city-owned parking lots, ramps, garages, and vacant lots, according to Fox 9.

WASHINGTON—One of the main blue-state plaintiffs suing the Trump administration for sharing Medicaid beneficiary data with the Department of Homeland Security cannot produce evidence showing that the policy causes harm, filings first shared with The Daily Wire show. Hawaii joined California and 18 other states in the suit, which contends that sharing Medicaid data with Homeland Security puts beneficiaries in harm’s way and at risk for deportation. America First Legal submitted records demands for documents showing any data leaks or improper disclosures, instances of Medicaid information reaching immigration authorities, increased hospital costs or uncompensated care, drops in enrollment or reluctance from noncitizens, any administrative burden, any deaths or adverse patient outcomes, and interference with the state’s ability to administer Medicaid. Filings viewed by The Daily Wire show that Hawaii could not produce any documents on these topics, and the state’s reasoning was that it does not have the records for these requests. America First Legal maintains that this shows that the state has no evidence to back up its claim that the Trump policy causes harm. “The State of Hawaii produced a declaration stating, ‘As far as Med-QUEST is aware, CMS has not disclosed Medicaid PII data for Hawai‘i Medicaid enrollees to date,’” said America First Legal Vice President Dan Epstein, adding: “Case closed.” Hawaii’s Medicaid program, Med-QUEST, is administered by the state’s Department of Human Services. Court filings show that Med-QUEST already shares protected health information with the federal government every month. “Med-QUEST provides health coverage to 400,000 low-income Hawaii residents,” the court filings state. “In addition, Hawaii administers federally funded emergency Medicaid benefits that provide emergency care and services to individuals regardless of their immigration status.” “Med-QUEST routinely shares protected health information concerning Hawaii residents and their use of Medicaid healthcare services with CMS. Med-QUEST sends data to T-MSIS on a regular basis, and also responds to occasional CMS requests for additional information concerning Medicaid claims and the use of federal dollars.” Yet Hawaii claimed in court that the Trump policy sharing Medicaid data with DHS would harm the state. America First Legal is arguing that since Hawaii can’t produce the records it requested, Hawaii appears to lack “a concrete and particularized injury from the Trump Administration’s action,” and should not be able to proceed. The legal group had similar victories over California and Washington in these states’ cases against the Trump administration: California and Washington had sued over Trump’s executive order on “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” as well as his order on “Protecting The Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” “Without actual harm, Hawaii lacks standing to sue,” Epstein said in a statement on Tuesday. “The American people deserve better than having the federal courts clogged with political theater that obstructs the policies of a popularly elected President.”

Grab your best red, white, and blue, and get ready for some patriotism, because The Daily Wire and Young America’s Foundation are coming together for an epic celebration of freedom in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Your favorite Daily Wire hosts are hitting the road for “Freedom at 250,” a series of rallies throughout America’s semiquincentennial year meant to coincide with YAF’s legendary student conferences. Governor Scott Walker, YAF’s president, said the group’s partnership with The Daily Wire will help reach more students than ever before. “While the radical Left continues its attempts to demonize and undermine our nation’s heritage and values, it is more important than ever to inspire and equip the rising generation with the ‘informed patriotism’ President Reagan called for in his farewell address,” Walker said. “Freedom that allowed America to flourish is special and rare, and its defense requires bold action.” ? Young America’s Foundation is excited to announce a new expanded partnership with @realdailywire to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s independence: Freedom at 250. Coinciding with YAF’s life-changing student conferences in 2026, a series of Freedom at 250 rallies… pic.twitter.com/CDA5C0QFqD — YAF (@yaf) December 9, 2025 Freedom at 250 will focus on our founders’ revolutionary bid for independence, grounded in the belief that all people are created equal, with their rights coming from God rather than from government. Those beliefs survived a civil war, making the United States a more perfect union, liberating Europe from tyranny, and taking down the Soviet Union’s “Evil Empire.” The freedom so many before us fought for and defended has guided the United States for 250 years. That freedom is worth celebrating all year long! Michael Knowles, Cabot Phillips, Mary Margaret Olohan, and Reagan Conrad are already booked for Nashville’s Freedom at 250 rally in February at the historic Country Music Hall of Fame. After the tour kicks off in Music City, Freedom at 250 will make stops in Santa Barbara, California; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; and more cities will be announced! Freedom at 250 builds on The Daily Wire and YAF’s years-long collaboration to bring bold voices to students nationwide at YAF’s student conferences. The always anticipated narrative-disrupting campus lectures will continue as part of Freedom at 250. Our country’s milestone 250th birthday is a perfect time to remember President Ronald Reagan’s challenge to Americans. “We’ve got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom — freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It’s fragile; it needs protection.” Freedom will be protected and celebrated throughout 2026. To secure your spot at a rally, click here. We will see all you patriots in the new year.

Speaking at a town hall in Tucson, Arizona, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly mocked President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, saying Trump was “asleep at the wheel” while calling Hegseth a “joke.” “It feels to me that at every turn, this president is working against the American people,” Kelly told the crowd. “What I have seen from the Secretary of Defense and the president is not normal.” “He sticks a full force of the DOD, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, on me for saying something that’s in the Uniform Code of Military Justice,” Kelly protested, referring to the video he and five other Democrats released urging troops to disobey orders they deemed to be unlawful. “You cannot make this stuff up. This is how ridiculous these people are, how unprofessional, how unqualified.” “If he thinks I’m going to back down, he’s lost his mind,” Kelly boasted, adding, “He’s got a couple options. One of them is just go take a hike. That’s what I ultimately expect him to do. Or he could try to prosecute me, but I’m not going away because I’m standing up for everybody, not only myself.” “They’re doing a lot of bad stuff,” he declared. “I mean, I’d put this on a list. It’ll be somewhere on a list of maybe 50 things. I’m not going to go through them. But let me tell you what he’s not doing. That’s even more important. What the president is not doing. This guy is literally asleep at the wheel … He has turned the United States government into a crappy reality TV show with bad ratings. And it’s time to turn it off,” Kelly stated. Turning to Hegseth, he stated, “You’ll appreciate this. When Pete Hegseth tweeted that he was going to prosecute me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. I see this tweet. I take out my phone and I read it verbatim to Gabby. And by the second sentence, she starts laughing. She laughed and laughed. She laughed through the whole thing. Because she realizes two things. One: That guy’s a joke. And number two. I’m not backing down.” “When we win back the House and maybe even the Senate, we get the subpoena power. We can have hearings to hold this administration accountable for the awful stuff that they’re doing,” he threatened. “The president doesn’t care about the law,” he declared. “When you give this guy this kind of power, and we knew what he was going to do with it. I mean, he was going to abuse every lever of power that he has. He’s trying to do it against me personally right now.”
