They’re Scattering: Anti-ICE Leftists Consider Fleeing Country After Signal Chat Got Exposed

They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence.

Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

Here are some of the contents from the initial story Higby dropped over the weekend. RedState broke down the mayhem even further, diving into the funding and who was on it. We know that ‘Flan,’ the alleged codename for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, was part of this chat, along with Alex Pretti, the latest leftist shot and killed by immigration officers, which led to the second wave of lefty mayhem in the city. Pretti was carrying a firearm, though he didn’t have his proper ID with him*, at this protest, but things went awry, and he was killed. Again, interfering with federal law enforcement operations will lead to dire consequences for the agitator. The Left claims this was another execution. The bodycams from the Border Patrol agents involved are being analyzed.

Other state Democrats were listed, too, which probably explains why Gov. Tim Walz said he’s open to cooperating with Trump officials on this matter and immigration enforcement. Members of the media, including NPR reporters, are listed in the chat, along with former Walz political operatives:

The Antifa Crossdresser Who Urged Followers to Take Up Arms Against ICE Is Now on the Run

The self-described member of the radical leftist terror organization Kyle Wagner is reportedly on the run after encouraging insurrection and threatening ICE agents.

In a video posted to social media, Wagner claimed that he was “basically on the run” but he had “evacuations planned out.”

Wagner had previously posted videos encouraging his followers to take part in an armed resistance against “Nazi gunmen” federal agents after the fatal self-defense shooting of Alex Pretti.

“I’m talking specifically to my f*****g followers: this is everything that I have f*****g talked about and this exactly what I said was going to happen,” Wagner said in a video posted to social media. “This is exactly what I said was going to f*****g come when we didn’t f*****g go and march on f*****g Whipple with guns.”

“Welcome to America 2026, where the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s going to keep you f*****g protected from literal f*****g Nazi gunmen that are killing innocent people in the street with impunity,” Wagner continued.

Here Are The Republicans Questioning ICE In Minnesota

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are questioning the continued federal law enforcement presence in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

In the days after Pretti’s death, and the release of additional video footage, several Republicans have called for a deeper investigation into the shooting.

Republican House Homeland Security Committee Chairman and New York Rep. Andrew Garbarino formally requested that leaders from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) testify before the committee, renewing calls for oversight and accountability of federal immigration agencies.

Republican Washington Rep. Michael Baumgartner praised Garbarino’s move, writing in post on X that it’s important “the American people and Congress be given a better understanding of how immigration enforcement is being handled.”

House Oversight GOP Chairman James Comer further suggested in an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that President Donald Trump should consider repositioning federal agents if tensions escalate. . .

Other GOP lawmakers including Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis called for independent probes into the shooting, with Cassidy arguing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) credibility are “at stake.” (Read more from “Here Are The Republicans Questioning ICE In Minnesota” HERE)

Parents Of Man Killed By Border Patrol In Minneapolis Release Statement

The parents of Alex Pretti released a statement late Saturday, hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot the 37-year-old Minneapolis man the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said was armed and looked about to “massacre law enforcement.”

Michael and Susan Pretti said that their deceased adult son was a “good man” and called on the public to “[p]lease get the truth out about” him in their statement first shared with KARE, a Minneapolis-based NBC affiliate. The Prettis also claimed Alex Pretti was “clearly not holding a gun” when he was “attacked” by “[President Donald] Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] thugs,” and blasted the Trump administration for telling “sickening lies” about him.

“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA [Veterans Affairs] hospital,” the Pretti statement continues. “Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly.”

Alex Pretti’s parents claimed their son’s “last thought and act was to protect a woman,” explaining that at the time he was shot and killed, he had “his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.”

DHS, in a Saturday afternoon post to X, shared a photograph of a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun it claimed the man later identified as Pretti had on him when he approached federal agents that morning. The agency also claimed Pretti had on him “2 magazines and no ID.”

Trump ‘Amazed’ Gavin Newsom’s Running for President — and Issues Withering Two-Word Putdown

President Trump is stunned that Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering running for the White House, noting how badly the Golden State is being run under the “incompetent” Democrat’s leadership.

“I’m amazed Gavin wants to run for office,” Trump told The California Post Friday in an Oval Office interview after his administration sued California over sanctuary policies, accused the state of fraud and clawed back federal funding. . .

“People love the dream of California, but they hate what’s happening to them,” Trump said.

The state needs “proper leadership,” he said, arguing they are not getting it with their current governor.

“Gavin’s incompetent,” he said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Amazed’ Gavin Newsom’s Running for President — and Issues Withering Two-Word Putdown” HERE)

Top Federal Prosecutors ‘Crushed’ by Epstein Files Workload

By Politico. The premier federal prosecutors’ office in the country is consumed by the task of reviewing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to four people familiar with the matter and internal memos obtained by POLITICO.

Virtually every prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who isn’t handling an imminent or ongoing trial — including some who are working on other major cases — has been tasked with helping to review more than two million files to redact information about Epstein’s sex-trafficking victims. Even the high-ranking executive staff and unit chiefs are poring over the documents, often working weekends.

Prosecutors are being “crushed by the work,” said one person familiar with the matter, who, like others quoted in this article, was granted anonymity to discuss internal processes. And while people in the office hope the task will take no longer than a few more weeks, no one is really sure when it will be completed.

The scale of the review has raised questions about whether the task is stretching prosecutors too thin and pushing other work to the back burner in an office that regularly handles some of the country’s most important white-collar, terrorism and financial crimes cases.

Even several of the prosecutors working on the narco-terrorism and drug trafficking case against deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, perhaps the most prominent prosecution in the justice system at the moment, are also assigned to work on the Epstein documents, according to a person familiar with the matter.

What else can be done to force Trump’s DoJ to release all the Epstein files? Legal experts weigh in

By The Guardian. For months, the 2025 news cycle was dominated by the disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Public outrage over the continued secrecy surrounding Epstein investigative files – which Donald Trump failed to release fully early in his second term, despite campaign promises – was growing.

Federal lawmakers took matters into their own hands: they issued a spate of subpoenas related to the late child sex trafficker, releasing batches of files that renewed attention to his connections to high-profile individuals on both sides of the political spectrum. Congress ultimately passed legislation mandating that the Department of Justice release these files by 19 December, with Trump signing this bill into law.

But that deadline came and went, with Trump’s justice department making a mere fraction of the total disclosures required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). These scant releases have so far failed to lift the veil on how Epstein operated with impunity for years.

Now, the big Epstein-related news is that there is no major Epstein news. Nothing has happened of late that has meaningfully moved the needle toward transparency for victims and advocates, renewing questions about what comes next. Releases of new documents have ceased in recent weeks. (Read more from “What else can be done to force Trump’s DoJ to release all the Epstein files? Legal experts weigh in” HERE)

Deranged Driver Plows Into Detroit Airport Terminal — Hauled Away by Police as He Screams in Shocking Scene

A car plowed into a terminal at the Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan Friday night – and the driver bellowed nonsense as he was dragged away from the scene, according to shocking footage and reports.

Wild footage captured the black sedan sitting in the middle of the McNamara Terminal, where startled Delta Airlines employees were working as it smashed through the glass doors of the Romulus, Mich. around 7:30 p.m., according to WXYZ.

The driver immediately exited the vehicle with his hands raised and speaking in a daze as security and airport officials rushed to the debris-ridden area.

“The response was so quick thank God with the cops and TSA and everybody,” stunned traveler Ali Khalifa told the outlet.

“That all happened in seconds.”

The unidentified male driver — sporting a Detroit Lions jersey — was screaming incoherently as he was hauled away by nearly a dozen security officers, according to footage shared on social media.

Jack Smith Makes Four Big Admissions In Fiery Public Hearing

By Daily Caller. Former special counsel Jack Smith made major admissions during his public testimony Thursday, including about former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s credibility as a witness.

Republicans grilled Smith on everything from search warrants he obtained for members of Congress’ phone records to his litigation decisions, while Democrats told Smith he did “everything right.”

Smith secured two indictments charging President Donald Trump for alleged interference in the 2020 election and for alleged mishandling of classified documents. Despite his best efforts to secure a trial before the election, he was forced to drop both cases after Trump won in 2024.

“If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Democrat or a Republican,” Smith said. “No one should be above the law in this country and the law required that he [Trump] be held to account.”

1. Cassidy Hutchinson wasn’t ruled out as a witness.

Smith admitted both on Thursday and in prior closed-door deposition that elements of Hutchinson’s testimony were based on “hearsay.” Hutchinson, a key witness for the Jan. 6 committee, claimed Trump lunged to grab the steering wheel of his presidential vehicle on Jan. 6 to redirect it the Capitol.

J6 Cop Coughs ‘Go F*ck Yourself’ To Republican Congressman During Jack Smith Hearing

By Daily Caller. Former Metropolitan Police Department officer Mike Fanone coughed “go f**k yourself” during a Thursday hearing where former special counsel Jack Smith testified.

Smith appeared before the House Judiciary Committee for roughly five hours and defended his prosecutions of President Donald Trump. During questioning, Republican Texas Rep. Troy Nehls blamed U.S. Capitol Police leadership for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, prompting Fanone’s outburst.

“I would like to quickly address the police officers of January 6th — Mr. [Harry] Dunn, Mr. Fanone, Mr. [Aquilino] Gonell, Mr. [Daniel] Hodges, I’m a member of the new select committee to actually examine what happened that day,” Nehls said. “And I can tell you, gentlemen, that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with Yogananda Pittman and the U.S. Capitol leadership team.”

Fanone then interrupted to cough, “go f**k yourself.”

“We know the Capitol leadership team, specifically Yogananda Pittman, had the intelligence, and there was going to be a high propensity for violence,” Nehls added after the disruption. (Read more from “J6 Cop Coughs ‘Go F*ck Yourself’ To Republican Congressman During Jack Smith Hearing” HERE)

Didn’t Take Too Long: European Leader Admits What Conservatives Have Been Saying For Years

German Chancellor Freidrich Merz told the World Economic Forum (WEF) that Germany and the European Union (EU) have “wasted incredible potential” during his speech Thursday.

Merz, a member of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), said the EU has wasted its potential for growth by curtailing freedom and responsibility.

“Both Germany and Europe have wasted incredible potential for growth in recent years by dragging feet on reforms and unnecessarily and excessively curtailing entrepreneurial freedoms and personal responsibility,” the Chancellor stated in his remarks to the WEF in Davos, Switzerland. “We are going to change that now.”

“We must reduce bureaucracy substantially in Europe,” Merz continued. “The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world. Instead, we have become the world champion of over-regulation. That has to end.”

“Security and predictability take precedence over excessive regulation and misplaced perfection,” he added.

‘It Was Terrible Judgment’: Famous Singer Says He Regrets Vile Comment About Trump

Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass expressed deep regret after joking about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a concert in 2024.

He admitted to causing a “shitstorm” after making an ill-timed comment on stage soon after a bullet grazed Trump and left him bloodied.

On July 14, 2024, Tenacious D, the comedy rock group Gass co-founded with Jack Black, performed at the ICC Sydney Theatre. It also happened to be Gass’ birthday.

Gass said he had heard the news of the attempted assassination, but he admitted the reality of the situation didn’t sink in, according to an interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday.

A cake was brought to the stage during the concert and when asked to make a wish, Gass said, “Don’t miss Trump next time!”

“It was a very low moment for me,” Gass admitted.
