Tom Homan Announces End Of ICE Surge Operation In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS โ€” Border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the Trump administration will conclude Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area, saying the large-scale federal immigration enforcement effort achieved its objectives and made the region safer.

Speaking at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, Homan said the stepped-up ICE operation would be scaled back after weeks of heightened federal presence and cooperation with state and local law enforcement. โ€œI have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude,โ€ Homan told reporters.

Homan said the successful results of the mission โ€” including arrests of individuals with criminal histories and disrupting unlawful agitator activity โ€” warranted the drawdown. โ€œTwin Cities and Minnesota in general are and will continue to be much safer for the communities here because of what we have accomplished under President Trumpโ€™s leadership,โ€ he said during his third press conference since being tasked with leading the surge.

Federal officials say the initiative, which began late in 2025, has resulted in thousands of arrests of dangerous illegal aliens and public safety threats, helping stem criminal activity and bolster cooperation with local law enforcement.

Homan outlined that federal officers will either return to their home duty stations or be reassigned elsewhere once the drawdown is complete. โ€œLaw enforcement officers drawing down from this surge operation will either return to the duty stations or be assigned elsewhere.โ€

In recent days, Homan confirmed that 700 of nearly 3,000 federal immigration officers have already been reassigned, a move he framed as responsive to productive coordination with state officials.

The operation had drawn intense national attention and criticism after two Americans โ€” Renรฉe Good and Alex Pretti โ€” were killed in separate confrontations with federal agents during enforcement actions, sparking protests and legal challenges.

NYC Mayoral Candidate’s Threat To Arrest Netanyahu Gets Brutal Trump Response

    2

    Never going to happen…

    Afterย Zohran Mamdani,ย New York City’s leading mayoral candidate, pledged to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, Netanyahu responded to questions about whether he’s worried.ย 

    In December, Mamdani,ย who identifies as a democratic socialist and is the Democrat Partyโ€™s nominee for New York City mayor, said, “as mayor, New York City wouldย arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.”

    “This is a city that our values are in line with international law. Itโ€™s time that our actions are also,” Mamdani said, referring to the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant against Netanyahu as well as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. 

    Netanyahu met with Presidentย Donald Trumpย at the White House on Monday evening to discuss a range of topics, including Iran and Israelโ€™s ongoing war with Hamas. ย 

    When asked whether he was worried about the possibility of facing arrest in Americaโ€™s largest city, Netanyahu said, “I’m not concerned about that.”

    The prime minister added, “I’m going to come there with the President Trump and we’ll see.” 

    He went on to say that Mamdaniโ€™s threat is “silly in many ways, because it’s just not serious.”

    Trump also chimed in, saying, “We donโ€™t know who the mayor is going to be yet, but this is a communist. He’s not a socialist. He’s a communist, and he’s said some really bad things about Jewish people.”

    “He might make it,” Trump said. “But, you know, it all comes through theย White House. He needs the money through the White House. He needs a lot.

    “He’s going to behave. He’ll behave. He better behave. Otherwise, heโ€™s going to have big problems.”

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee to nominate Presidentย Donald Trumpย for the peace prize.

    While speaking to reporters, Netanyahu spoke about the relationship between Israel and the U.S.

    โ€œI want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people and many, many admirers around the world, for your leadership, your leadership of the free world, your leadership of a just cause, and the pursuit of peace and security,โ€ he said. โ€œThe president has an extraordinary team, and I think our teams, together, make, an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities.

    โ€œBut the president has already realized great opportunities. He forged the Abraham Accords. Heโ€™s forging peace as we speak, in one country and one region after the other,โ€ Netanyahu continued. โ€œSo, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee. Itโ€™s nominating you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved.โ€

    Trump accepted the letter, saying he was unaware of the nomination and thanking the prime minister.

    January 6th Panel Votes to Recommend DOJ Prosecute Trump

    17

    On Monday, the House Select Committee investigating the events surrounding the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot voted to recommend the Department of Justice criminally prosecute former President Donald Trump.

    The committee voted 9-0.

    According to Fox News, the first referral recommended by the committee is for Trump’s obstruction an official proceeding of Congress. The committee will also refer Trump to DOJ for conspiracy to defraud the federal government, making a false statement and inciting, assisting, or aiding and comforting an insurrection.

    In what is expected to be its final meeting on Monday, the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6 said it will formally ask the DOJ to pursue charges after a nearly 18-month probe into the former presidentโ€™s involvement in the activities that lead to the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021.

    The committeeโ€™s unprecedented criminal referral holds no official legal weight, and a final determination in whether to pursue the charges will be up to Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department.

    At Monday’s meeting, the committee’s members, seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans, each presented a portion of their findings against Trump before taking the vote to issue criminal referrals. 

    The committee will also refer four Republican members of Congress to the House Committee on Ethics for defying the committeeโ€™s subpoenas. One of the Republicans who defied their subpoena was then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, (R-Calif.)

    The committee also subpoenaed:

    • Jim Jordan, R-Ohio
    • Mo Brooks, R-Ala.
    • Scott Perry, R-Pa.
    • Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.

    According to The Hill, Itโ€™s unclear if the Ethics panel will launch an investigation based on the select committeeโ€™s new recommendations. Unlike most other standing committees, membership on the Ethics panel is evenly divided between the parties. And the committee strives โ€”ย at least rhetorically โ€” to avoid the divisive partisan politicking that practically defines some of the other panels.ย 

    Yet with just weeks left in the 117th Congress, thereโ€™s a small and closing window for the committee to launch any new probes while Democrats are still in the House majority. And itโ€™s unlikely that a GOP-led Ethics Committee would take the remarkable step of investigating the role of sitting Republicans in an event as polarizing as the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. 

    Republicans Uncover Epsteinโ€™s Coordination With Reporters To Smear Trump

    3
    By Ralph Alswang, White House photographer - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/clinton-epstein-maxwell/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=143417695

    Just hours after the White House publicly accused congressional Democrats of selectively leaking emails related to Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of additional pages of documents. These include email exchanges between Epstein and prominent journalists.

    A significant portion of the new material shows correspondence between Epstein and writer-turned-biographer Michael Wolff. Wolff reached out to Epstein multiple times, discussing not only Epsteinโ€™s public image but how to leverage criticism of Donald Trump for strategic benefit.

    In February 2016, Wolff wrote to Epstein:

    โ€œNYT called me about you and Trump,โ€
    โ€œAlso, Hillary campaign digging deeply. Again, you should consider preempting.โ€

    A month later they discussed plans ahead of the release of Filthy Rich โ€” a true-crime book by James Patterson about Epstein, who was Pattersonโ€™s neighbor in Palm Beach. Wolff suggested to Epstein:

    โ€œBecoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly donโ€™t have now.โ€
    And he added:
    โ€œPatterson can be counted on to produce a bestseller, and while he isn’t regarded as a serious writer, he’ll surely be unloading a lot of tabloid copy โ€ฆ Because this will be tied to the election, the Trump-Clinton angle will amp up the attention 10-fold, in fact, possibly, a hundred fold. Possibly more than anything you’ve encountered before.โ€

    When Epstein asked Wolff what he should say publicly about his relationship with Trump, Wolffโ€™s advice was pointed:

    โ€œIf he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,โ€
    โ€œYou can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.โ€

    In further correspondence, Wolff requested introductions for Epstein to two figures close to Trump: business leader and inaugural-committee chair Tom Barrack and former federal prosecutor Kathy Ruemmler. He told Epstein he sought โ€œan off-the-record perspective on White House procedures,โ€ while researching his book about Trumpโ€™s first 100 days in office. He also asked whether former President Bill Clinton would confirm he had never been to Epsteinโ€™s private U.S. Virgin Islands island, Little St. John โ€” a place Clinton has publicly denied visiting. Epsteinโ€™s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell has also denied seeing Clinton there.

    The documents show that Epstein and Wolff planned to meet as recently as May 2019 โ€” months before Epstein died in a federal jail cell while awaiting trial.

    Read some of the emails below:

    Some of the newly released material included a short video of a dog and what appear to be chew toys modeled after Trump and the 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton. Others appear to be slides from an adviser working to generate positive search-engine results for Epstein following his 2008 conviction for child-sex crimes.

    Earlier, Democrats had released documents that included an especially cryptic email from Epstein to Maxwell โ€” one that mentions Trump by name, and refers to an unnamed victim of Epsteinโ€™s trafficking network. The email read:

    โ€œI want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,โ€ Epstein wrote on April 2, 2011.
    โ€œ[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with himโ€ฆhe has never once been mentioned. Police chief. etc. I’m 75% there.โ€

    Officials later identified the โ€œunnamed victimโ€ as well-known Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. Giuffre repeatedly stated that Trump was not involved in wrongdoing and โ€œcouldnโ€™t have been friendlierโ€ to her in their limited interactions. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded:

    โ€œThe fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre.โ€

    In his own post on Truth Social, Trump weighed in:

    โ€œThe Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk โ€” and they should pay a fair price,โ€ he wrote.
    โ€œThere should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!โ€

    As a reminder: Epstein secured a highly-controversial so-called โ€œsweetheartโ€ deal in 2008 for child-sex crimes. He was arrested again in 2019 on more serious trafficking charges โ€” but died before the case went to trial. Maxwell was convicted of grooming and procuring girls and young women for Epstein; she is appealing and continues to assert her innocence.


    Key Takeaways for a Republican Audience

    • The timing of the document releases and allegations of selective leaking by Democrats raises questions about political motive and media stratagem.
    • The correspondence shows efforts to frame Epsteinโ€™s narrative around Trump โ€” part of a broader attempt to tie the story to the 2016 presidential election and cast Trump in a negative light.
    • Trumpโ€™s defenders argue the documents reinforce his long-standing disassociation from Epstein, as well as serve to remind voters of Democratsโ€™ role in political maneuvering, rather than holding criminals accountable.
    • For Republicans focused on institutional integrity and media accountability, the episode reinforces concerns about selective exposure of documents, agenda-driven leaks, and manipulation of public perception.

    Biden Admin Threatens To Sue Texas Over Barriers Blocking Illegalย Immigration

      9

      The Biden Administration is taking the gloves off.

      Biden’s Justice Department is threatening to sue the state of Texas over a new effort to deter illegal immigration.

      The Department of Justice is threatening to sue Texas over โ€œhumanitarian concernsโ€ if it does not remove barriers floating on the Rio Grande River.

      โ€œThe floating barrier poses a risk to navigation, as well as public safety, in the Rio Grande River, and it presents humanitarian concerns,โ€ the DOJ said, claiming that it was โ€œunlawfulโ€ for Texas to install the barriers.

      Governor Greg Abbott tweeted that Texas would not be removing the barriers, saying that they “would see the DOJ in court.”

      https://twitter.com/karengraham2009/status/1680222749568974848

      โ€œTexas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution,โ€ Abbott tweeted. โ€œWe have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President Biden earlier this year.โ€

      โ€œThe tragic humanitarian crisis on the border was created because of Bidenโ€™s refusal to secure the border. His open border policies encourage migrants to risk their lives crossing illegally through the Rio Grande, instead of safely and legally over a bridge,โ€ he added. โ€œTexas is stepping up to address this crisis. We will continue to deploy every strategy to protect Texans and Americans โ€” and the migrants risking their lives.โ€

      The 4-foot-wide orange spherical buoys spin if someone tries to grab onto them, according to the New York Post. The barrier can be moved or extended if need be.

      The latest deterrence method is part of the state’s “Operation Lone Star” program which aims to combat the border crisis caused by President Biden’s catastrophic border policies.

      Last week, Texas Senator John Cornyn (R) defended the use of the buoys at a news conference, saying Biden had failed to secure the border.

      โ€œWell, we wouldnโ€™t be having this conversation if President Biden and the Department of Homeland Security were doing its job,โ€ he said. โ€œ

      John Fetterman Reveals Which Trump Admin Official He Surprisingly Gets Along With

      2

      Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said he has developed an unexpected rapport with Dr. Mehmet Ozโ€”now serving as director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Servicesโ€”despite their bruising 2022 Senate race, highlighting his broader critique of rising political hostility and what he has described elsewhere as โ€œTrump Derangement Syndromeโ€ within his own party.

      In an interview released Tuesday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Fetterman reflected on his past rivalry with Oz, whom he defeated to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey. While acknowledging the race โ€œgot nasty,โ€ Fetterman emphasized a level of personal respect that has carried over into their post-election interactions.

      โ€œYou know that that campaign got nasty, but you know heโ€™s undeniably, heโ€™s a brilliant guy and Iโ€™ve had heart issues,โ€ Fetterman told Hannity. โ€œI would have no problem to have him operate on me, either.โ€

      Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May 2022 during the campaign, said the experience reshaped how he views political conflict and personal animosity.

      โ€œIโ€™ve had a near death experience,โ€ Fetterman added. โ€œI donโ€™t, I donโ€™t carry any of that stuff and you know, weโ€™re in the business that there is, part of it is just professional wrestling and then the more it gets more and more personal, like, thatโ€™s really in the wrong direction and things get really, really kind of bitterโ€ฆ and when you are openly telling people to you know, fuck off, or call these kinds of names thatโ€™s become the new normal and thatโ€™s just the wrong direction.โ€

      Watch:

      The Pennsylvania Democrat has increasingly positioned himself as willing to break with his party on a range of issues, drawing criticism from some progressives. He has faulted fellow Democrats for what he has characterized in other remarks as an excessive focus on former President Donald Trumpโ€”often referred to by critics as โ€œTrump Derangement Syndromeโ€โ€”arguing that it distracts from pragmatic policymaking and alienates voters.

      Fettermanโ€™s recent positions reflect that independence. He criticized Democrats for blocking a spending bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and backed Operation Epic Fury, a joint U.S.-Israeli military effort targeting Iranโ€™s military capabilities. He has also defended Trump-era strikes against suspected drug smugglers and taken a more moderate stance on election policy.

      โ€œFor me as a Democrat, just fundamentally at the end of the day showing basic, basic, ID to vote is a very reasonable idea,โ€ Fetterman told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo during a Feb. 17 appearance on โ€œMornings with Maria.โ€

      His willingness to cross party linesโ€”and to openly criticize Democratic messagingโ€”has fueled speculation that he could face a primary challenge when he seeks reelection in 2028.

      NYC Mayoral Candidate Kicks Off Anti-Trump Tour

      5
      By Bingjiefu He - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0,

      New York City’s Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is officially launching hisย “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour in the Big Apple.

      Mamdani kicked off hisย anti-Trump tourย alongside Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) in Manhattan on Monday morning. He reportedly plans to visit Brooklyn on Tuesday, Staten Island on Wednesday, the Bronx on Thursday and Queens on Friday, Fox News has confirmed.ย 

      The 33-year-old self-described socialist’s tour is a rejection of the Trump administration’s sweeping second-term agenda and his so-called “authoritarian” attack on working New Yorkers, specifically, immigration and health care reform. 

      “There is no borough that will be free from Trump’s cruelty,” Mamdani said on Monday. “We will feel the pain of this legislation, whether we are in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island, and we will shine a light this week and every week on the costs of this vision that is coming out of Washington, D.C.”

      Donald Trump is waging a full-scale assault on American democracy, dismantling our institutions, attacking our universities and our scientific research base, using government power to serve himself and his donors, and targeting New York City because New Yorkers have always seen him for what he is โ€“ a narcissistic, wannabe dictator,” Nadler said during the event on Monday.

      Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams are also running as an independents, and CEO of the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa, is the Republican nominee.ย 

      “Comrade Mamdani is the American peopleโ€™s worst nightmare,” White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, told Fox News Digital. “His communist policies will crater our economy, increase crime, crowd out Americans withย free health careย for illegal immigrants, and defund the brave men and women of law enforcement who keep us safe.”

      The White House added that “Mamdani’s idea of โ€˜immigration reformโ€™ is no borders and amnesty for all the violent criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden released into our country. The American people have repeatedly rejected this Communist agenda and the more Mamdani shares his radical policies, the more the American people will recoil.”ย 

      The New York Times reportedย last week that Trump recently spoke on the phone with Cuomo and has been speaking with associates about which candidate has the best chance to beat Mamdani in November. Meanwhile, Mamdani has described how his administration would be Trump’s “worst nightmare.”

      “We see far too many parallels between Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo, far too many stories that make clear that both administrations have been characterized by corruption, by a sense of impunity, by an inability of an executive to understand that no means no, a prioritization of the interests of billionaires over working people, and an agenda that is driven by little else beyond the retention and accumulation of power,” Mamdani said Monday.ย 

      Incensed Mika Brzezinski Slams Trump – Says He Endangers Womenโ€™s Lives

      MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski delivered a strong rebuke against former President Donald Trump during Thursdayโ€™s broadcast, accusing him of endangering womenโ€™s health and expressing frustration with those who question recent reports critical of Trump.

      Brzezinski argued that Trumpโ€™s actions have serious implications for women, specifically regarding reproductive health. “He is putting our reproductive health at risk, and some women have already died because of this,” Brzezinski stated, emphasizing the potential dangers she believes his policies pose. “I’m talking about us women. He’s killing us. He is making us afraid to have babies.”

      Her comments also extended to those who question the veracity of recent reporting, including a so-called “October surprise” from The Atlantic that criticize Trump. “These headlines and very good reporting, by the way, shouldnโ€™t be questioned by idiots about what Trump has said about Hitler. Thatโ€™s incredibly important to know,” she added.

      Of course, Brzezinski did not mention that Trump was the first U.S. president to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. On Dec. 6, 2017, he announced this recognition, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy. Previous presidents had avoided this move, keeping the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv to placate Palestinian opposition.

      Critics argue that Brzezinski’s diatribe implies Democrats are losing and that their only option now is to scare the public into voting for Kamala Harris.

      Report: Appleโ€™s Tim Cook Donating $1 Million Of His Own Money To Trumpย Inauguration

        Apple CEOย Tim Cookย is reportedly using his own money to write a $1 million check to President-elect Donald Trumpโ€™s inaugural committee.

        Axios reported that only Cook is expected to give to the fund โ€” not the company.

        Cook โ€œbelieves the inauguration is a great American tradition, and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity,โ€ the report said, citing sources close to Cook. He โ€œhas made it clear over the years that he believes in participation, not sitting on the sidelines, and engaging with policymakers from both sides of the aisle.โ€

        The report noted that Apple is Americaโ€™s and the worldโ€™s largest taxpayer.

        Trump has secured $1 million donations from other top business leaders and companies including from Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg โ€” whose company owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.

        OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was also reportedly planning to donate $1 million to the fund, telling The New York Times: โ€œPresident Trump will lead our country into the age of A.I., and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead.โ€

        Major automakers General Motors, Ford, and Toyota have all promised to donate $1 million each toward the fund.

        Boebert To Run For Congress In Neighboring District

          0

          Republican Lauren Boebert is no longer seeking reelection in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

          Instead, the MAGA representative is running for the neighboring seat of Colorado’s 4th District, which has a considerably redder hue.

          Boebert’s decision comes little more than a year after she eked out reelection by the narrowest of margins โ€“ 546 votes out of 327,000 โ€“ against Democrat Adam Frisch. Boebert has represented the sprawling 3rd District since 2021 after she defeated five-term incumbent Republican Scott Tipton in a bruising primary battle. Then-President Donald Trump endorsed Tipton before the primary, but Boebert’s conservative bona fides and outspoken support for Trump won her adoration from grassroots conservatives.

          Nonetheless, her combative style and controversies caused enough voters to shun her and transformed the traditionally Republican district into a hotly contested seat, at least temporarily.

          The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul hinted that Boebert’s concerns about a presidential election year rematch with Frisch influenced her decision to jump to a far more favorable GOP seat:

          The 3rd District leans 9 percentage points in Republicansโ€™ favor while the 4th District leans 27 points toward the GOP, according to a nonpartisan analysis of election results from 2016 to 2020 by staffers for the Colorado legislature. Boebert doesnโ€™t have to live in the 4th District to represent it.

          โ€œI did not arrive at this decision easily,โ€ Boebert said in a Facebook video announcing the move. โ€œA lot of prayer, a lot of tough conversations and a lot of perspective convinced me that this is the best way I can continue to fight for Colorado, for the conservative movement and for my childrenโ€™s future.โ€

          The bombshell news comes as Boebertโ€™s reelection chances in the 3rd District look dim.

          Her narrow victory in 2022 was seen as a referendum on her boisterous behavior in Congress โ€” including interrupting President Joe Bidenโ€™s State of the Union address in 2022 and making an Islamophobic joke about Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Her image was further tarnished when she and a male companion were ejected in September from a performance in Denver of the musical โ€œBeetlejuiceโ€ for talking loudly, vaping and using her phone.

          Surveillance cameras in the theater also recorded her and her date engaging in intimate behavior.

          Boebert’s path to representing the 4th District is wide open. Its current representative, Rep. Ken Buck (R), announced his plans to retire at the end of this term.
