Supposedly Autistic Woman’s Tale of Being Abused and Arrested by ICE Officers for No Reason Blows Up in Her Face When This Damning Footage Emerges

A left-wing activist’s ‘gutwrenching’ testimony about getting arrested by ICE agents last month has so spectacularly backfired that she might find herself in legal hot water.

Aliyah Rahman, an American citizen and allegedly autistic, told a congressional panel on Tuesday she was on her way to an appointment with Hennepin County’s Traumatic Brain Injury Center last month when she encountered ICE agents supposedly blocking the road and had no way of getting around them.

She then said she was forced to pull into a blocked intersection after an ICE agent allegedly yelled, “Move, I will break your f***ing window!”

Rahman went on to say she received conflicting threats from agents, which confused her. The agents then busted her window and dragged her out of the car.

When Rahman told the agents she was disabled, one agent supposedly replied, “Too late.”

She next described her supposed pain while the cops pulled her away, and then claimed without evidence that she was denied access to medical care.

Minneapolis Viral ‘Relationship Anarchist’ Anti-ICE Agitator Elizabeth Rose Arrested for Ramming Federal Agents’ Vehicle During ICE Crackdown 

Viral Minneapolis anti-ICE agitator Elizabeth Rose has been arrested and charged with assaulting federal agents after she allegedly rammed an agent’s vehicle with her own.

Rose, 42, who proudly identifies as a “relationship anarchist” practicing nonmonogamous relationships, allegedly tailed and crashed her vehicle into a car occupied by Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection agents on January 21.

The activist went viral last month for a video about her dating desires.

“I am 42… I am a relationship anarchist… I am on the lookout for somebody who right now will be able to call and say hey, get in the passenger seat and let’s go f*k some sh-t up,” she says in the video.

She is seen getting dressed in Carhartt overalls, a keffiyeh scarf, safety goggles, a gas mask, and ear protection, framing her activism as a call to arms against what she described as ICE “occupying” Minneapolis by “going door-to-door and kidnapping people from their homes… schools… churches.”

The incident occurred amid “Operation Metro Surge,” the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants in the Twin Cities.

According to court documents, agitators in multiple vehicles began following a team of federal agents. Rose reportedly blocked their path on a narrow street, ignored commands to move, and then reversed her car into another agent-occupied vehicle that had arrived to assist.

A video of the incident was posted on social media by Rose. It does not show the impact but shows her reversing into the vehicle and touching it when she stops.

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.”

Inside Minneapolis’s ICE Watch Network

In less than a month, two “ICE watchers” have been shot and killed by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis. On January 24, a federal agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse. His death follows that of Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was killed on January 7.

Both Pretti and Good participated in “ICE watching,” an anti-immigration-enforcement tactic that can involve tracking ICE agents, filming arrests, and alerting other activists of enforcement actions. While participants frame ICE watching as a “community safety” measure, these tactics often place untrained civilians in direct, high-stakes confrontation with armed federal agents.

In Minneapolis, one key organizer of these activities is “Defend the 612.” The group, the membership of which apparently included Renee Good, oversees a massive network of Signal chats dedicated to monitoring and protesting ICE activity. It has become the beating heart of the city’s resistance to federal immigration enforcement. (The group’s name refers to the Minneapolis area code.)

City Journal reviewed Defend the 612’s trainings, entered its Signal network, and traced its organizational support. Our reporting reveals that members and related officials have encouraged protesters to impede law enforcement; pushed civilians toward legally and physically risky confrontations; and helped mobilize a counterprotest that turned violent.

The group’s growth threatens to stoke the city’s already-raging fire.

SHOCK: Democrat Rep. Nadler Says Americans Would Be “Justified” in Shooting Masked ICE Agents 

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.

“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.

Nadler referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

DHS agents also fatally shot Alex Pretti, an armed anti-ICE agitator who impeded an immigration operation and resisted arrest.

“We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car?” Nadler said.

“We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!” Nadler said.

Chicago Nurse Fired After His Viral Video Appearing to Call on Fellow Nurses to Target ICE Agents, Let Them ‘Bleed Out’

Yet another nurse has taken to social media to wish harm on those they disagree with.

LibsofTikTok has been chronicling the disturbing trend by those who are supposed to be a source of comfort and care during life’s most vulnerable moments.

In the latest example, a nurse, identified as working in the Chicago area, took to social media to post a vile challenge to his fellow nurses to target ICE agents.  He also suggested that openly MAGA nurses should be fired and have their license revoked.

“Remember how much power nurses have in this country? One of our own was just murdered in the street. So we might be able to stop this somehow. Thoughts?”

He then shared a post of another user who said, “Good morning. Did you know most ICE agents don’t wear their plates properly? I’ve seen it.”

He responded to the comment with, “You know, the type of ICU nurse I was, I was a cardiac ICU nurse. And I did a lot A lot of time, lots of hours, holding on a groin that wouldn’t stop bleeding.”

“Let me tell you what, that femoral artery, those veins in the legs. I can’t remember. It’s late in my shift, okay? I know it. I’m tired. Anyway, the vasculature in the leg, it really bleeds. It bleeds well. Someone could bleed out very quickly from that. Probably a couple of minutes really.”

With absolutely no self-awareness or sense of irony, he then suggested MAGA nurses are unsafe to take care of people.

“I would really suggest to all the health care organizations out there that if you have knowingly MAGA employees, that you terminate them. They’re not safe people to take care of other people. You can’t have people who have open racism in the health care system. I mean, we already know that exists because if you’re a black woman in health care, you know. But if you’re openly MAGA at this point and you’re supporting the murdering of people, you don’t deserve to be in health care.”

“You should have your license removed. That’s so disappointing. I remember working with them. So annoying.”

Iran Protesters Include Mossad and MEK

Donald Trump has promoted the idea – amplified by much of the international media – that protesters inside Iran are calling for U.S. military intervention and the overthrow of their government.

At the same time, Trump is threatening Iran with major military action, demanding not only changes in how protesters are treated, but that Iran abandon what he claims is a pursuit of nuclear weapons and relinquish its long-range missile capabilities and other defensive systems.

It’s true that many Iranians are protesting in response to severe economic hardship, which has reached unprecedented levels. But a major driver of Iran’s inflation and currency collapse has been the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, which have sharply constrained Iran’s economy and access to global markets.

What is largely absent from Trump’s rhetoric – and from much of the dominant media narrative – is that these protests are not purely organic. External actors are also involved, including Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, and the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an exiled Iranian group that has committed acts of terror for decades.

Mossad involvement has been openly acknowledged

On social media, Mossad posted a message directed at Iranians stating: “Go out together into the streets. The time has come. We are with you – not only from a distance and verbally. We are with you in the field.”

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu reinforced this openly, stating: “When we attacked in Iran during ‘Rising Lion,’ we were on its soil and knew how to lay the groundwork for a strike. I can assure you that we have some of our people operating there right now.”

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo compounded this message of encouragement by tweeting: “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them.”

And last year, Mossad Director David Barnea confirmed Israel’s ongoing activities in Iran, declaring: “We will continue to be there, as we have been.”

LOL! Anti-Police Activists Heckle Zohran Mamdani Outside of Mayoral Residence – “We Advocated for You, Zohran! You Lied, Zohran! Shame!”

New York City’s new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is already letting his far-left base down, and they’re showing up at Gracie Mansion, the official mayoral residence in Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side, to make their disdain heard.

Thankfully for many New Yorkers, he just isn’t radical enough.

During a recent incident, centered around his unfulfilled promises relating to investigating the police, protesters surrounded the gate outside his residence at night and began shouting through a megaphone, “We was with you, Zohran! We voted for you, Zohran! We advocated for you, Zohran!” He continued, “You ain’t did nothing but get up in there and lie to us! You lied, Zohran! Shame, Zohran!”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on Mamdani’s radical anti-police positions before he was elected Mayor in November, including his plan to replace police with social workers in response to certain crimes, which he backtracked on in November.

Now, he’s facing more heat from his liberal base for walking back on his promises to empower and give the final say on police accountability to the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB), an independent agency that investigates police complaints and dishes out recommendations for punishment.

A man with a megaphone was filmed outside Zohran’s house with other protesters, shouting, “The first lie was CCRB, Zohran! CCRB should have the final say, Zohran!”

The others present could be heard shouting “Shame!” repeatedly.

ICE WARS: Minneapolis Insurgents Set Up Barricades; Block Cars, Run License Plates, Check IDs

Insurgents in Minneapolis barricaded several streets this weekend with “ICE filter” checkpoints, stopping cars to check license plates and IDs to prevent federal immigration enforcement operations.

Minneapolis Crime Watch posted photos from Sunday’s neighborhood ICE Block party with details on the location and a plea for the local government to do something, “Submitted from south Minneapolis – Agitators have set up roadblocks and are checking people’s ID who try to pass through the area from 32nd to 34th and Cedar Ave. This is absurd. Contact @MayorFrey and @MplsPDChief and tell them to shut this down.”

An account called Minneapolis Spring posted video from the insurgent checkpoint, “WATCH: Community defenders stop an out of state vehicle at the filter blockade, run the plate through a database, and confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors before letting it through.”

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.

Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city.

CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good.

Pretti’s killing, and the subsequent secrecy surrounding the agents involved, comes as the country confronts the consequences of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. The sweeps in cities across the country have been marked by scenes of violence, against immigrants and U.S. citizens, by agents allowed to hide their identities with masks — an almost unheard of practice in law enforcement. As a result, the public has been kept from one of the chief ways it has to hold officers involved in such altercations accountable: their identity.

Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have called for a transparent investigation into the killing of Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse working at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
