Anti-ICE Resistance Manuals and Training Discovered at Minnesota Schools Receiving Federal Funding

Minnesota ICE Watch, the organization that Renee Good and her wife were members of, distributed a document known as the “De-Arrest Primer,” which instructs activists on how to physically interfere with law enforcement officers during arrests. The manual provides detailed guidance on pulling detainees from officers’ grips, pushing and pulling officers, breaking holds, and opening law enforcement vehicles to free suspects.

The manual also teaches the use of coordinated chanting to create confusion and overwhelm officers during active arrests, as well as surrounding officers until they release detainees.

The guide openly acknowledges that these actions may constitute criminal offenses but argues that the risk is justified. Each successful interference is described as a “micro-intifada,” framed as a tactic meant to spread, replicate, and inspire wider disruption. The manual claims these methods originated in pro-Palestinian campus protests and presents them as a model for broader resistance activity.

While no single formal publisher is identified, the manual appears to originate from broader activist and radical networks that promote direct physical interference with law enforcement. It has circulated widely through Instagram and other activist communication channels and has been used in training individuals described as “constitutional observers” or “ICE watchers.”

Minnesota ICE Watch reposted the manual in June, prior to the 2026 surge in anti-ICE activity, and linked it to training sessions focused on disrupting arrests.

Mainstream media coverage has frequently described ICE Watch activity as “nonviolent observation,” omitting the physical interference tactics detailed in the manual. The document, however, is clear evidence of organized agitation and deliberate instruction in confronting law enforcement.

Numerous anti-ICE training handbooks and manuals are being produced and circulated in the United States. Some are linked to specific anti-ICE resistance groups that also provide training, organize protests, and conduct patrols. These include organizations such as COPAL MN (Comunidades Organizando El Poder y la Acción Latina), the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN), and related groups.

Much of the training, organizing, and distribution of anti-ICE resistance has taken place at schools receiving public funds, raising questions about whether groups instigating actions against the government should be allowed to receive taxpayer money. Furthermore, mainstream media have attempted to present the anti-ICE resistance training at schools as a reaction to the Renee Good shooting. However, many of these groups were already active at schools prior to the January 7, 2026 shooting.

Because of the deployment of nearly 3,000 ICE agents to the area in late 2025, several parent-teacher groups at the school attended by Renee Good’s son had already formed volunteer “safety committees.”

“If You Want This Fight, Let’s Have It” – Hillary Clinton Challenges Comer Ahead of Public Testimony on Epstein – Comer Responds!

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton lashed out at House Oversight Chairman James Comer ahead of her public testimony on Epstein.

The Clintons caved to House Oversight Chairman James Comer and agreed to publicly testify this month in the Committee’s Epstein investigation.

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the Oversight Committee after Chairman James Comer moved forward in holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.

“Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons,” Comer said.

“After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance,” Comer added.

“Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month,” Comer said.

The Clintons will testify on February 26 and 27.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath,” Hillary said on Thursday.

“They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” Hillary said.

Democrats Just Gave Away The Real Reason They’re Fighting Immigration Enforcement

Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away.

In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters.

I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand:

Protect Sensitive Locations – Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.

Polling places?

They went out of their way to include polling places right alongside hospitals, courts, and churches. There is only one thing that happens at polling places that would matter to illegal immigrants, and it is not the bake sale.

Democrats have insisted for years that illegal immigrants cannot and do not vote, and that the whole issue is a right-wing myth. If that is true, then why is “polling places” even on their list of protected zones for immigration violators? No one accidentally adds “polling places” to a policy letter being negotiated at the leadership level. This is deliberate. It gives away what they are worried about… and what they are counting on.

“Democrats just admitted they think illegal aliens need to be protected at polling places. Why exactly would illegal aliens be at polling places? We MUST fully fund DHS AND pass the SAVE America Act,” Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) posted on X.

That is the obvious question Democrats do not want to answer. If illegal immigrants are not supposed to be anywhere near the ballot box, then immigration enforcement near polling sites ought to be a non-issue.

This comes as Republicans are pushing election reform through Congress with the SAVE Act. The SAVE Act is a straightforward concept: safeguard federal elections by ensuring only American citizens can cast ballots, and that an ID is required to vote.

“I’m a Team Player” – Senator David Perdue Grand Jury Testimony Claims Gov. Brian Kemp Stopped 2020 Election Investigation

Last month, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee lifted the protective order shielding the special grand jury transcripts used to indict former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia.

Among the newly unsealed documents was the testimony of former U.S. Senator David Perdue — a key candidate in the 2020 election who was forced into a January 5, 2021, runoff against Democrat Jon Ossoff after winning the November 3 election by 90,000 votes, but falling short of the fifty percent threshold necessary.

On September 6, 2022, Perdue appeared before the special grand jury for questioning. One of his interrogators was none other than disgraced prosecutor Nathan Wade — the same man later exposed for his affair with District Attorney Fani Willis.

Wade pressed Perdue on one of Georgia’s most contentious election-night controversies: the events at State Farm Arena. “You’re talking about State Farm Arena and the things that happened in that video, I’m assuming,” Wade said. “Since then, the Secretary of State’s Office, the GBI — multiple investigations — have looked into that and found that nothing illegal occurred.”

Perdue seemed unmoved: “That’s your opinion,” he fired back. “That’s not fact.”

Wade shot back and asked if Perdue at least acknowledged that the GBI had looked into the matter.

His answer was cautious but cutting: “Those so-called investigations… occurred,” he said, “but not to my satisfaction.”

Then came a shocking admission. When asked by Wade why he doubted the GBI’s integrity, Perdue dropped a bombshell.

“In November of ’21,” he testified, “the head of the GBI, Vic Reynolds, called me — it’s a matter of record. He told me, ‘We’re not going to investigate. The governor wants me to tell you why we’re not going to investigate.’ I said, ‘Please do.’ Because back in May, he had seen the evidence — video footage, cell phone records, testimony, bank data — all consistent with ballot harvesting. He told me himself it was compelling to be investigated.  That was in May of 2021.”

Perdue paused before revealing the rest. “Then, in November, he calls and says, ‘We’re not going to investigate because…I’m a team player. If the governor doesn’t want to investigate, we’re not going to investigate.’”

Trump backs Bill and Hillary Clinton amid Epstein probe in stunning rebuke to House Republicans

President Donald Trump said he’s ‘bothered’ by a Republican-led investigation into Ex-President Bill Clinton‘s connections to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 

The House Oversight Committee has been wrangling with Bill and Hillary Clinton for the couple to sit for a deposition in the panel’s Epstein probe. 

This week, it was announced that Bill will sit for a deposition on February 27, while Hillary will sit before the panel the day before, with the former first lady demanding the proceedings take place in public.  

‘It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton,’ Trump told NBC News on Wednesday, indicating he may be at odds with the Republican-led investigation.

‘See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton,’ he added. ‘I liked his behavior toward me. I thought he got me. He understood me.’

His remarks stand in contrast to those of House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, the Republican leading the probe, who has accused the Clintons of delaying their appearances and defying orders from Congress. 

When pressed by the Daily Mail about why the president appears to be defending Clinton, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it’s because the two presidents share a ‘good relationship.’ 

‘The President has respect for the former president,’ Leavitt explained. ‘They shared a good relationship.’

DOJ Opens Investigation Into the Fed

For the first time in history, a sitting Fed chair faces a DOJ criminal probe. On Friday, January 9, grand jury subpoenas from the Department of Justice landed on the desk of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The documents threaten criminal charges, not for market manipulation or insider trading, but for his congressional testimony on the Fed’s $2.5 billion headquarters renovation project. The probe, launched by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., centered on whether Powell’s statements to the Senate Banking Committee had been misleading about costs, timelines, or oversight.

Powell appeared unruffled in his Sunday evening statement two days later. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public,” he said, framing the investigation as an attack on the central bank’s independence. The subpoenas demanded documents, emails, and testimony related to the renovation — marble upgrades, security retrofits, and budget overruns that had ballooned amid supply-chain chaos.

Critics call it a pretext. Supporters say it’s payback for the Fed’s post-pandemic rate hikes that cooled inflation but squeezed borrowers. Behind closed doors, the story is more complicated.

Remodeling, or Monetary Policy?

The Trump administration has long chafed at the Fed’s seeming freedom from accountability (which it framed as “autonomy”). Powell, appointed by President Donald Trump during his first administration in 2017 and reappointed by Joe Biden in 2021, had resisted calls to keep rates low during the 2025 recovery. Now, with the DOJ under new leadership, the subpoenas look like a lever to pry open the black box of monetary policy.

David Malpass, a former World Bank president, weighed in on CNBC to say, “It’s worrisome. You know, the Fed has become now just a giant hedge fund. It’s lost a trillion dollars — and counting. It’s going to be a gigantic loss. What it does is borrow money at 5.4 percent from banks, and then dumps it into government bonds. So think what that does! That causes the government to think that it’s better off than it is. So that encouraged the government to be short when rates were zero.”

Was this about marble tiles, or was it a warning shot: the era of the Fed evading checks and balances drawing to a close? Republican lawmakers, usually positioning themselves as champions of the rule of law, issued guarded statements defending Fed independence. They raced to frame the situation as the president politicizing disagreements.

British Police Open Investigation Into Peter Mandelson Over Sharing of Confidential Documents With Jeffrey Epstein – Former Ambassador to the US Resigns From the House of Lords

Mandelson is under heavy fire for his close ties to Epstein.

The Metropolitan Police in London has launched a criminal investigation into allegations that disgraced former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson, passed ‘market-sensitive information’ to Jeffrey Epstein.

This comes as the disgraced Labour peer has been forced to resign from the House of Lords.

Daily Mail reported:

“Files released by the US Department of Justice apparently showed Lord Mandelson giving material to the pedophile financier while serving as business secretary in Gordon Brown’s Labour administration as it dealt with the 2008 financial crash and its aftermath.

The Cabinet Office had passed material to the police after an initial review of documents released as part of the so-called Epstein files found they contained ‘likely market-sensitive information’ and official handling safeguards had been ‘compromised’.”

Biden Installed Radical ‘Vote From Home’ Activist Who Shaped 2020 Election Changes To Postal Board Overseeing Ballot Delivery

Joe Biden quietly placed a radical mail-in voting advocate with deep influence over the administration of the fraud-rife 2020 election on the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors.

That’s the body that governs the Postal Service and oversees the ballot delivery infrastructure.

Meet Amber McReynolds.

The appointment received little public attention. But McReynolds’ record makes it one of the most consequential election-related personnel decisions of the Biden presidency.

Why this board matters

The USPS Board of Governors is not symbolic. It sets postal policy, oversees election mail, and appoints the Postmaster General. In modern elections, that means it sits at the center of ballot delivery nationwide.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize faces fresh scrutiny after Epstein files release

Former U.S President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize has come under renewed scrutiny following the latest release of documents linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, reopening long‑standing questions about the credibility of the award and the conduct of those who oversaw it.

In a public post on his official X account, Kirill Dmitriev, a senior Russian official and special envoy of President Vladimir Putin, has revealed that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee was connected to elites named in the Epstein files, singling out former chairman Thorbjørn Jagland and pointing to 2014 email correspondence cited in the latest document release.

Obama’s Disputed Nobel Peace Prize

The claims support earlier criticism by U.S. President Donald Trump, who for years has argued the Nobel Peace Prize is politicised and inconsistent, frequently citing Obama’s 2009 award as premature while the U.S remained at war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Obama’s 2009 award drew immediate global debate for timing and substance, while later prizes to China’s Liu Xiaobo in 2010 and the European Union in 2012 generated diplomatic backlash.

The pressure from these debated awards led to the demotion of Jagland from the chair while retaining him on the committee in March 2015.

No Epstein link was cited at the time.

The massive 2026 document release has also pulled in Norway’s elite beyond Jagland.

America’s Vaunted “Experts”: Often Wrong but Never in Doubt?

In our time we’ve traded wise men for experts — Confucius for the credentialed, Aquinas for academicians, Democritus for the degreed. Consequently, we don’t make our ancestors’ bush-league mistakes, such as the Romans using lead pipes, drilling holes in people’s heads to treat mental derangement, or selling radium-laced candy and water.

We make different bush-league mistakes. In fact, says Rob Long, pondering all the recent decades’ blunders, “you might start to wonder if anyone knows anything.”

“Here’s what I mean,” explains Long, a television writer and producer opining at the Washington Examiner:

COVID masks, mortgage-backed securities, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, carbs, red wine, voter turnout, lard, phonics, and Pluto. (Among others.) Smart people — and I knew some of the folks who were involved in the home finance catastrophe of 2007, and let me assure you that they were smart — seem to be making a lot of costly and dangerous mistakes. It often seems like we’re living through an Age of Blunder.

Here’s a noncontroversial example from history: say what you like about the brutal Stalinist regime of the (thankfully late) German Democratic Republic, but they were pretty good about spying on their own citizens. … They knew everything there was to know about the German Democratic Republic except that it was about to collapse. Which was the one thing they really needed to know. Talk about the Age of Blunder!

How Expert Are They?

After providing a few more examples, Long discussed the recent blizzard that struck New York and elsewhere. He said that he and some friends were discussing beforehand whether it would materialize. “Experts,” ya know? But they were right on this occasion, he stated.

Short-term weather, however, can be predicted with decent accuracy. But on a related note, there’s the following.

A generation ago, in 2000, climate scientist Dr. David Viner stated that within just a handful of years, snowfall will be “a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”

Now, Viner was talking about Great Britain — which was hit by a “devastating snowstorm” just last year. But then there’s the reality here in the Colonies. Only a week ago, parts of my southern N.Y. county got buried under 17 inches of global warming.

Oh, and if you think nothing could be finer than poking fun at Viner, know that he’s hardly alone. The late Professor Walter E. Williams illustrated this beautifully in his 2017 piece “Environmentalists’ Wild Predictions.”
