Trump Threatens Military Deployment to Minnesota Amid Anti-ICE Protests and Shootings

President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minnesota following escalating protests over federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Tensions surged after ICE agents fatally shot U.S. citizen Renee Good, sparking demonstrations that spread to other cities. Additional incidents, including the shooting of a Venezuelan man, have intensified unrest. Thousands of armed federal officers patrol the streets amid accusations of excessive force. Trump blames Minnesota officials for failing to stop “agitators,” while state authorities accuse his administration of fueling violence, deepening the standoff.

Why Did the Trump Administration Freeze $129 Million in USDA Funds to Minnesota and Minneapolis Over Fraud Allegations, and Who Is Accountable for the Feeding Our Future Scandal?

The Trump administration has taken decisive action against Minnesota and Minneapolis, suspending over $129 million in USDA federal funding amid allegations of “widespread and systemic fraud.” U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins cited repeated failures in federal program oversight, including mismanagement of programs like Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The decision follows revelations from the Feeding Our Future scandal, in which a Minneapolis nonprofit allegedly defrauded taxpayers of nearly $250 million intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rollins described the fraud as “industrial-scale”, involving 78 defendants charged in what the Department of Justice calls the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the U.S.

In her letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Rollins highlighted additional alleged abuses in the Paycheck Protection Program, housing assistance schemes, and SNAP misreporting. Officials who resisted federal oversight and challenged USDA directives were also called out for enabling continued fraud.

As a result, all active and future USDA awards to Minnesota and Minneapolis—totaling $129.18 million—are suspended immediately. Authorities have 30 days to provide detailed payment justifications; failure to comply could extend the suspension. Rollins emphasized that this action represents the administration’s zero-tolerance policy on fraud, waste, and abuse, protecting American taxpayers and ensuring funds reach those who need them.

This unprecedented suspension raises urgent questions: How did fraud reach such scale in Minnesota’s federal programs? Who is responsible for oversight failures? Will federal authorities enforce accountability, and how will affected programs recover? The frozen funds underscore a growing national focus on transparency, stewardship, and integrity in public funding.

Was Deadly Force Justified? Why an ICE Agent Shot a Motorist in Minneapolis During Immigration Raids—and How This Killing Is Reigniting America’s Immigration and Police Brutality Debate

Was the fatal shooting of a motorist by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis an act of self-defence—or a troubling escalation in America’s immigration crackdown? And how far is the U.S. government willing to go in enforcing immigration laws under the Trump administration?

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed a woman during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis after authorities said she attempted to drive her vehicle into law enforcement officers. The incident occurred in a residential neighbourhood as ICE carried out what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described as “targeted operations” connected to an ongoing nationwide enforcement surge.

According to DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, the confrontation unfolded after protesters reportedly surrounded officers at the scene. She alleged that the woman “weaponized her vehicle” in an attempt to run over federal agents—calling the act “domestic terrorism.” The woman was shot inside her car, but as of Wednesday evening, authorities had not released her identity or confirmed whether body-camera footage would be made public.

Why is this incident causing such outrage? The killing comes amid a dramatic expansion of federal immigration enforcement in major U.S. cities. Just one day earlier, DHS announced the deployment of approximately 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul as part of a sweeping crackdown linked in part to alleged fraud involving members of the Somali community. The announcement immediately heightened tensions in a region already sensitive to aggressive immigration operations.

Following the shooting, crowds of protesters flooded the area, chanting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” and “ICE out of Minnesota!”—slogans that have echoed across other U.S. cities experiencing similar raids. Civil rights advocates and community leaders have called for an independent investigation, demanding transparency around the use of deadly force by federal officers during immigration operations.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly condemned the federal presence, accusing ICE of destabilising the city. “Immigration agents are causing chaos in our city,” he said, insisting that federal authorities leave Minnesota and affirming the city’s support for immigrant and refugee communities.

What does this mean for immigration enforcement in America? The shooting is being widely seen as a turning point in an already polarising national debate over immigration, policing, and the militarisation of federal law enforcement. With Minneapolis now emerging as a flashpoint—alongside cities like Los Angeles and Chicago—the incident raises urgent questions: Are ICE operations becoming more dangerous for both officers and civilians? Is the use of lethal force becoming normalised in immigration enforcement? And will federal authorities face greater scrutiny or legal challenges over how these operations are conducted?

As investigations loom and public anger grows, the Minneapolis shooting is likely to intensify political battles over immigration policy, civil rights, and the limits of federal power—reshaping how America confronts one of its most divisive issues in the years ahead.

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has come under intense scrutiny after her assets appeared to skyrocket from only $1,000 to almost $30 million in just one year.

Two companies, both owned by her husband and listed on Omar’s most recent financial disclosure form, appear to have experienced significant growth in value between 2023 and last year.

Rose Lake Capital LLC was valued between $5 million and $25 million in 2024, according to the document, filed in May.

The venture capital management firm is headquartered in Washington, DC. Omar lists the asset as ‘partnership income’ on her form and claimed she doesn’t receive any income from Rose Lake.

However, in her 2023 report, released in May 2024, Rose Lake Capital is valued at between $1 and $1,000.

In the same report, the Somali-born socialist stated that another company, ESTCRU LLC, was worth between $15,001 and $50,000.

The firm is a winery in Santa Rosa, California. Its value is now listed between $1 million and $5 million, according to Omar’s recent disclosure.

In response to the significant increase, the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit that monitors the ethics of liberal public officials, has confirmed it is ‘certainly looking’ at the progressive Congresswoman.

Peter Flaherty, chairman of the organization, confirmed to the New York Post that the center is investigating Omar’s assets.

Rose Lake’s website says it has worked with five diplomats in more than 80 countries to structure deals, mergers, and acquisitions.

‘From distressed assets to buying publicly traded companies – our team has the prowess to execute the right opportunities,’ the company’s description reads.

‘At Rose Lake we tap into our extensive global network to create strategic partnerships to maximize the strength of the businesses we partner with.’

Rose Lake’s LinkedIn page also appears to have been removed amid reports of Omar’s wealth gains.

The company’s website stripped team members’ names and bios. The webpage now only displays a brief summary of Rose Lake’s work.

NIGERIAN COUPLE KIDNAPS FEDERAL AGENT IN WILD ATTEMPT TO EVADE DEPORTATION IN MINNESOTA

A Nigerian man allegedly overstaying his visa and his female accomplice trapped a Homeland Security agent inside their SUV, then drove him to a different police station as he screamed for help and pulled a gun.

Oluwadamilola Bamigboye and Rekeya Frazier face federal charges after pushing agents out of the car, ignoring commands, and taking off, with one agent still inside fighting to stop the vehicle.

The agent feared he was being abducted, had no idea where he was, and had to pull his weapon to try to stop the ride.

This isn’t just resisting arrest, it’s full-blown abduction of a federal officer on American soil.

Source: KSTP

Here is the couple accused of kidnapping ICE agents yesterday in Minnesota.

When ICE attempted to arrest Oluwadamilola Bamigboye (yes, that's his name) from Nigera for overstaying his student visa, he jumped from the front passenger seat to the back seat of the vehicle.

One ICE Agent entered the back seat to detain him and another entered the front passenger seat. The drive, Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier, put the car in drive and took them to a nearby police station. The Nigerian man sprinted from the vehicle and ran into a local store.

Both were taken into custody and are being held on Federal charges.

NEW: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attempts to shift the blame from the Somali community in the state's widespread fraud scandal:

"It's not law abiding citizens. If that were the case, there's a lot of white men who should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the crimes they have committed."

"Each community's got this in their own midst, but to blame them and say that they should have been responsible for stopping it — I think that's a pretty hard reach."

"I think we continue to educate folks about why they shouldn't commit crimes. You would hope that it's being taught both at home and at schools and in our society."

"But no, I think this idea that the Somali community is to blame for this because they didn't do more — I think that's how we got into this."

Northern States Governors' Forum Appoints Ezekiel Gomos as Director-General to Strengthen Regional Coordination

The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF), under the leadership of its Chairman and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, has approved the appointment of Mr. Ezekiel Gomos, OFR, as Director-General of the Forum’s Secretariat.

The appointment is in line with the Forum’s renewed commitment to strengthening its institutional capacity and improving coordination among the 19 northern states in addressing the region’s pressing challenges.

According to the Forum, creating the office of Director-General is a strategic step towards repositioning the Secretariat as a more effective hub for policy coordination, collective action and long-term development planning.

Mr. Gomos, a former Secretary to the Plateau State Government, is an accomplished development economist and policy expert with a distinguished career spanning public service, governance reform, private-sector development and human capital advancement.

His experience includes senior roles in high-impact institutions such as the New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

In addition, he has been Lead Consultant and Head of Faculty at the Jos Business School (JBS), a centre dedicated to entrepreneurship development, leadership training, and policy dialogue.

For nearly two decades, Mr. Gomos has served as a resource person at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, contributing to the training of senior leaders across Nigeria in policy, strategy and national development.

The new DG's academic credentials include graduate and postgraduate degrees from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and the University of East Anglia, UK. He is also a recipient of several prestigious international fellowships, including the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship (University of Minnesota), the British Chevening Scholarship and the UNDP Fellowship at the ILO Training Centre in Turin.

Gomos has attended senior executive programmes at Harvard Kennedy School, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and Durham University Business School.

Presenting the appointment letter, Governor Inuwa Yahaya charged Mr. Gomos to apply his extensive expertise in strategic leadership, institutional development and policy management to strengthen the NSGF Secretariat into a robust platform for collective security coordination, regional economic cooperation and sustainable development across the North.

The NSGF Chairman expressed confidence that the appointment will usher in a new era of deeper collaboration, improved coordination and more coherent regional responses to the North’s most critical challenges.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs. 50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Gov. Tim Walz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose — and I think he's both.”

House Oversight Launches Probe Into Gov. Tim Walz Over Nearly $1B Minnesota COVID Aid Fraud Scandal




The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has opened a new investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over what federal prosecutors call the largest COVID-19 relief fraud scheme in U.S. history. Nearly $1 billion meant for feeding low-income children was allegedly diverted through the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, with at least $300 million already tied to criminal charges involving 78 defendants.

Comer says Walz ignored early warnings from whistleblowers and allowed widespread fraud to flourish, even as employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services accuse the administration of retaliation and suppressing audit findings. The Treasury Department has also launched an investigation into claims that some stolen funds may have been funneled to the terrorist group al-Shabaab, though no terrorism charges have been filed.

Walz denies negligence, insisting criminals are being prosecuted and warning against unfairly targeting Minnesota’s Somali community. The scandal has triggered national scrutiny, intensified political tensions, and raised concerns about the handling of pandemic relief funds across multiple agencies.

BREAKING: President Trump’s Small Business Administration has officially launched a FULL investigation into Somali organizations defrauding taxpayers through SBA loans in Tim Walz’s Minnesota.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler: "Numerous individuals and nonprofits indicted in the $1 billion Minnesota COVID fraud scandal, including Feeding Our Future, received SBA PPP loans in addition to other state and federal funding."

"Today, I have ordered an investigation into the network of Somali organizations and executives implicated in these schemes."

"Despite Governor Walz’s best efforts to obstruct, SBA continues to work to expose abuse and hold perpetrators accountable, full stop."

More than 400 Minnesota government workers say Governor Tim Walz "systematically retaliated" against whistleblowers.

Tim Walz Responds to Trump’s Thanksgiving Attack as Immigration Clash Intensifies


Minnesota Governor Tim Walz pushed back at former President Donald Trump after Trump used a slur to attack him and Rep. Ilhan Omar in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post criticizing Democratic immigration policies. Walz responded by calling for Trump to release his MRI results, referencing a recent medical visit. Trump’s posts blamed immigration for crime, housing issues, and social dysfunction, and accused Somali refugees of overwhelming Minnesota—claims not supported by federal data, which shows about 705 Somali nationals hold Temporary Protected Status. The exchange follows Trump’s move to revoke protections for Somali nationals and his proposals for sweeping immigration restrictions, including halting migration from “Third World countries” and deporting those he calls “non-compatible with Western Civilization.” The heated rhetoric comes amid national attention on a recent deadly shooting involving an Afghan refugee.

In Minnesota ooo
English is the 2nd language

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a fiery Thanksgiving message calling for an immediate and “permanent pause” on immigration from what he described as “all Third World countries.” In a lengthy post on his social media accounts, Trump sharply criticised U.S. immigration policies, claiming the foreign-born population is too large, overly dependent on welfare, and responsible for social and economic strain.

He repeated several unverified claims—such as immigrants contributing to rising crime, overwhelming schools and hospitals, and “taking over” parts of Minnesota—while attacking state officials and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Trump outlined hardline proposals including stopping migration from developing nations, cancelling what he called “Biden-era illegal admissions,” ending federal benefits for non-citizens, denaturalising certain migrants, and deporting those he described as public charges or “non-compatible with Western civilisation.”

He ended the message with a pointed holiday note, saying Thanksgiving wishes did not extend to people who “hate, steal, murder, and destroy.”

The statement came shortly after U.S. authorities identified two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism. The suspected shooter, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and illegal firearm possession.
