A little over a year ago, the Democratic Party decided that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the kind of person we needed to be one heartbeat or one maleficent act away from the Oval Office. Today, he's not even running for a third term as governor of Minnesota because his...

More Minnesota protestors face federal investigation after disrupting a church service in St. Paul, the effects of Virginia Democrats’ election sweep begin to take shape, and the Pentagon purchases a curious new device as evidence has come to light about the so-called “Havana Syndrome.” It’s Tuesday, January 20, 2026, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below: Anti-ICE Protestors Storm Minnesota Church Federal authorities are investigating after anti-ICE activists stormed a church service in Minnesota. The protestors, accompanied by former CNN anchor Don Lemon, interrupted worship and demanded that congregants condemn ICE. The situation unfolded during the Sunday morning service at Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in St. Paul. A group of anti-ICE activists entered the sanctuary mid-service and started chanting, shouting accusations, and filming the congregants. The protesters accused the church of supporting ICE because one of its staff pastors also serves as an acting field director for ICE’s St. Paul office. Several of the protestors are associated with groups that led demonstrations over the death of George Floyd. Lemon, who was with these protestors, has claimed that the disruption was simply free speech. But DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told The Daily Wire that activists “don’t have a First Amendment right to trespass and invade a house of worship.” The Justice Department is investigating the incident for potential violations of the FACE Act and other laws. Democrats’ Virginia Agenda Virginia swore in its Democratic slate of leaders over the weekend, including Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Attorney General Jay Jones, and they, along with their congressional counterparts, are laying out a heavily leftist agenda. One of the first actions Spanberger took as governor was to end the state government’s support for ICE, rescinding an executive order signed last year by former Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin. Jones put out a legal opinion shortly after he took office backing the push for redistricting. The new congressional map could be up for a vote in a few months ahead of the November midterm elections, and it could lead to four more seats for Democrats in the currently narrow Republican-majority House. Meanwhile, Democrats in Virginia’s General Assembly could bring other constitutional proposals to the ballot soon, such as placing a right to an abortion in the state’s constitution. Did The U.S. Finally Crack The Havana Syndrome? The Pentagon believes it may have solved a decade-long mystery surrounding Havana Syndrome, a mysterious ailment impacting American personnel stationed around the world. The story is equal parts terrifying and fascinating. At first, officials thought these were isolated and natural medical events. They called them “anomalous health episodes,” but over time, a clear pattern emerged. New victims were overwhelmingly coming down with the ailment while working sensitive diplomatic events in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, especially Cuba, thus the name Havana Syndrome. The Pentagon has been tight-lipped about the total number of cases, but reports say there have been at least 200 victims. Some are now permanently disabled, suffering from severe short and long-term memory loss. In the final days of the Biden administration, the Pentagon secretly purchased a device that emits high-frequency pulsed radio waves. Specific details of the purchase are sparse, but reports say it cost in the “eight-figure” range and was acquired covertly as part of an “undercover operation.”

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the anti-ICE activists who stormed a Minnesota church on Sunday were professional “troublemakers” who should be incarcerated or “thrown out of the country.”  Trump’s comments come as his Justice Department has pledged to bring charges against the leftists who entered Cities Church in St. Paul and recited chants like “Justice for Renee Good,” “Hands up, don’t shoot,” and “ICE out of Minnesota.” Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the protest under the guise of being an independent journalist.   “Just watched footage of the Church Raid in Minnesota by the agitators and insurrectionists. These people are professionals! No person acts the way they act. They are highly trained to scream, rant, and rave, like lunatics, in a certain manner, just like they are doing. They are troublemakers who should be thrown in jail, or thrown out of the Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Tuesday morning.  The protest was organized and promoted by the Racial Justice Network and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities. Cities Church was targeted because one of its pastors works for ICE. William Kelly, a prominent professional protester who has demonstrated outside the church of War Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington, D.C., was among those who entered the sanctuary during the Sunday morning service.  Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Monday that charges for those involved in the protest are forthcoming. She also suggested that Lemon could face charges if he knowingly participated in a conspiracy against civil rights.  “I see various crimes that have occurred,” she told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Monday. “Exactly what they are I’m not going to flag, but the FACE Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked onto the FACE Act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences.” The FACE Act protects the rights of those attending worship services to be free from disruption. Dhillon told The Daily Wire that two Justice Department prosecutors traveled to Minnesota on Monday to handle the case.  “You can have your protest in a park, you can have a march, you can get a permit for a large gathering, but you can’t just go wherever you want and tear things up and disrupt,” she said. “And that’s what these people did. And so now, people are afraid to go to church. And that is an absolute disgrace in this country.”
