Senior Rescue Cat Demands The Full Baby Treatment | The Dodo

President Trump called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and every Democrat governor and mayor in the United States to “formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence.” “During the four years of Crooked Joe Biden and Democrat failed leadership, Tens of Millions of Illegal Alien Criminals poured into our Country, including Hundreds of Thousands of Convicted Murderers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Drug Dealers, and Terrorists,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I won the Election in a Historic Landslide, and Republicans won Majorities in both the House and Senate, in large part, because we pledged to SEAL THE BORDER, which we have done, and launch the largest Mass Deportation of Illegal Alien Criminals in American History. This Deportation effort is underway, and in Republican run Cities and States, these operations are going peacefully and smoothly, because Local Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to work with their Federal counterparts. For example, in the five Republican run States of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana, ICE has arrested 150,245 Criminal Illegal Aliens over the past year — with ZERO protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because Local Police and ICE are cooperating and working together,” he continued. “Meanwhile, Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States are REFUSING to cooperate with ICE, and they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos,” he added. Full post below: Trump listed four key points in his follow-up post: 1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation. 2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police. 3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes. 4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL. President Trump also called on Congress to “immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities.” “I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws,” Trump said. “All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved,” he added. Full post below: In a prior post, Trump said Frey and Walz were “inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric.” JUST IN: President Trump Declares Its An Insurrection In Minnesota More from the New York Post: T​rump administration officials took up the call soon after – including​ Noem and Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino, who called his agents “the victims” and speculated that Pretti had answered Democrats’ supposed calls and taken to the streets to resist ICE. “Was he there for a reason? Did he fall victim to that violent and heated rhetoric by Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz?” Bovino ​said on CNN’s “State of the Union” ​on Sunday. An investigation into the ​shooting is under​ way, according to Noem and Bovino, though neither clarified whether Pretti was armed with another weapon as he was pinned down and had his 9mm pistol removed. The DHS began ​its investigation with the help of the FBI​. A Minnesota Judge ​quickly stepped in and slapped a temporary restraining order barring federal officials from destroying or altering any evidence connected to the case. Th​e order was requested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which alleged federal agents blocked its investigators from accessing the shooting scene in spite of a judge-signed warrant allowing access. “We’re in uncharted territory here,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans told reporters at a Saturday press conference. “It’s been a long-standing understanding, both within our state and across the country, that entities like the BCA that conduct 80-plus percent of officer-involved shootings across the United States are asked to do these investigations of federal agents involved in officer-involved shootings,” he ​said. The restraining order will be reviewed at a hearing Monday afternoon. Pretti was declared dead at the scene. He was among numerous protest​ers blowing whistles and dogging immigration agents who were in the area to detain an illegal immigrant accused of domestic abuse and other charges.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino sparred Sunday with CNN’s Dana Bash over whether the armed man his subordinates shot and killed Saturday in Minneapolis was the “suspect” or “victim” in the situation. Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, 37, whom the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged was prepared to “massacre law enforcement” with his firearm. Pretti’s parents and left-wing groups, on the other hand, maintained he was assisting a woman and not pointing his gun at officers at the time. During Bovino’s Sunday appearance on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash,” Bash pressed the senior Border Patrol official over his assertion Pretti assaulted a federal agent, sparking a contentious exchange. “Where did he assault the federal officer in any of the video that you have seen?” Bash asked Bovino. “Because it looked to us from every angle, sir, that he was approached by them when he was helping another individual who was pushed down. What evidence do you have that he was assaulting any law enforcement?” “Dana, we don’t need a suspect’s help in an active law enforcement scene. We don’t need his help. We didn’t ask his help,” the Border Patrol commander-at-large responded, referring to Pretti. “When you say ‘suspect,’ what is he suspected of?” the CNN host interjected. “That’s an active law enforcement scene,” Bovino said. “He knew that was an active law enforcement scene, especially when the officers approached him and it was very evident he did not need to be where he was.” In a statement shared Saturday with the Daily Caller News Foundation, DHS claimed “law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault” when the man later identified as Pretti “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.” Bash continued to suggest Pretti was helping an individual “pushed down” by officers. “So, when somebody is pushed down and a person’s instinct is to help that person, when somebody is pushed down by law enforcement, you’re saying that you just stand back and let law enforcement do what they’re doing? Is that really human nature?” the host pressed Bovino. “You know, Dana, every situation is different. What our officers are faced with here in Minneapolis are chaotic, very difficult and violent situations in which individuals—and this suspect is not the only one to bring a loaded weapon to a riot. The situations are chaotic and ever-changing. Follow directions for law enforcement. Don’t inject yourself knowingly beforehand into a law enforcement situation,” the Border Patrol commander replied. “With respect, it feels as though in some ways you’re blaming the victim here,” Bash replied, referring to Pretti. “The victims are the Border Patrol agents,” Bovino said. “I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The victim[s] are the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation. The victims are the Border Patrol agents there.” Bash then presented Bovino with a screenshot of video footage from the incident. “You can see a screenshot of an agent in a green jacket approach Pretti, and then he appeared to take a gun away,” Bash said, describing the image. “When the agent took the gun away, which seems as though it was Pretti’s gun, that happened before Pretti was shot. Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by law enforcement, by your Border Patrol agents?” “Dana, you don’t know he was unarmed. I don’t know he was unarmed,” he responded. “That’s freeze-frame adjudication of a crime scene via a photo. That’s why we have investigators. That’s why we have an investigation that is going to answer those questions. How many shots were fired? Who fired shots? Where was the guns? Where were the guns located? All those questions are going to be answered in the investigation.” “Us, we’re not going to adjudicate that here on TV in one freeze-frame there,” he emphasized after Bash tried to interrupt him.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Hours after Border Patrol fatally shot an armed man Saturday in Minneapolis, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he and other Democrats will not back a legislative package including a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), potentially risking a partial government shutdown. The Senate has until Jan. 30 to pass a six-bill package funding multiple federal government agencies which, as presently being considered by the upper chamber, includes the DHS bill. If a total of 60 senators do not support the package by the deadline, the country will face a partial government shutdown—less than four months removed from a record 43-day standoff which Schumer and the vast majority of his caucus consistently voted to prolong. “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city,” Schumer wrote in an X post late Saturday. “Democrats sought common sense reforms in the [DHS] spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President [Donald] Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement].” “I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included,” the minority leader added. Since Republicans hold only 53 seats in the Senate, they will need the support of at least a handful of Democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold to break the upper chamber’s filibuster. Republicans also need every senator regardless of party to agree to accelerate the spending package in order for it to pass by the Jan. 30 deadline, Politico reported. Border Patrol agents Saturday morning shot and killed Alex Pretti, 37. Pretti, at the time, was armed with a semi-automatic handgun while federal officers were “conducting a targeted operation” in the city, DHS told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Pretti’s death came just 17 days after an ICE officer, also a 37-year-old American citizen, fatally shot Renee Good, whom DHS claimed “weaponized her vehicle” in “an act of domestic terrorism.” In an earlier Saturday afternoon X post, Schumer expressed support for removing ICE agents from Minnesota, a position echoed by a number of elected Democrats in the state, including Rep. Ilhan Omar. The DHS funding bill narrowly passed in the House on Thursday with only seven moderate Democrats — all representing Republican-leaning or swing districts—voting in favor. Conversely, one Republican, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie voted against the bill. Massie is a fiscal hawk facing a Trump-backed primary challenger. Even before Schumer vowed he and his caucus will vote no on the six-bill package including the DHS bill, analysts pointed to the increasing likelihood of a partial shutdown due to Democrats’ current attitudes toward immigration enforcement. “This ICE situation is a nightmare for the Senate. Cannot see a scenario in which Senate Dems can vote for this 6-bill package which includes DHS funding,” Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman wrote in a Saturday afternoon post to X. “Govt shuts down Friday. First Senate procedural vote likely not until Wednesday, giving them limited room to maneuver. House on recess. Any changes to the bill would require the House. Shutdown a real possibility at this point.” In addition to funding ICE and Border Patrol, the DHS bill included in the spending package will also allocate $2.2 billion to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a controversial DHS agency created under the first Trump administration which many conservatives subsequently blasted for censoring speech about election integrity and COVID-19 origins.

President Donald Trump issued an urgent call Sunday night to end what he described as obstruction in a pair of Truth Social posts.

President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Democrat governors and mayors nationwide to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, warning on Truth Social that refusal to do so has created "dangerous circumstances" and led to the deaths of two American citizens.

An investigation was underway Sunday at Miami International Airport after authorities found a suspicious, unattended piece of luggage, as air travel nationwide remained disrupted by a powerful winter storm.
