"We Won't Stop Until Heads Drop Like In 1793": Tens Of Thousands Take To Streets Of Minneapolis After ICE Shooting

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Minneapolis on Jan. 10 to protest the shooting of Renée Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, according to a Minneapolis Police Department estimate provided to The Epoch Times.

A protest organizer guessed that as many as 40,000 people attended the demonstration, thronging a large park and public thoroughfares. The Epoch Times could not confirm that estimate.

Demonstrators gathered to condemn ICE operations in Minneapolis after the fatal shooting of Good in the city on Jan. 7.

Protesters began to arrive for various rallies and marches across the city around 2 p.m. ET Saturday.

The nerve center was snow-covered Powderhorn Park, not far from George Perry Floyd Square—the site of the May 2020 incident that provoked national demonstrations and riots.

Police helicopters could be seen flying overhead as protesters arrived.

On the ground, however, the police presence was sparse. Instead, participants in, or organizers of, the demonstration could be seen directing traffic through the streets. Some verbal fights with frustrated motorists ensued.

At a makeshift memorial for Good near the site of the Portland Avenue shooting, a sign was set up calling for “national strikes to boot out the admin.” Some mourners lit candles. Others, who were dressed in Aztec-like headdresses, appeared to perform a ritual involving dancing, drums, and the burning of material in a handheld vessel.

Senate Appropriations Committee Votes to Allocate OVER $5 BILLION In Taxpayer-Funded Welfare for Refugees – Here Are The 14 Republicans Who Voted Yes

The Senate swamp quietly stuck a knife in the back of President Trump and the MAGA movement last week after approving billions to refugees despite the Somali fraud scandals across the country.

Just the News previously reported the appropriations bill for the Labor and Health and Human Services contained $5.69 billion for ‘refugee assistance services.’ This is three times higher than the funding levels before the Biden regime!

Upon learning this, Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) sounded the alarm and spoke out against the legislation.

Unfortunately, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the bill by a vote of 26 to 3. The yeas included 14 Republicans.

Paul and Lee are not on the Appropriations Committee, so they could not vote.

Via Grace Chong of The War Room, here are the 14 GOPers who voted in favor.

Susan Collins of Maine

Mitch McConnell of Kentucky

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

Jerry Moran of Kansas

John Hoeven of North Dakota

John Boozman of Arkansas

Shelly Moore Capito of West Virginia

John Kennedy of Louisiana

Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi

Katie Britt of Alabama

Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma

Deb Fischer of Nebraska

Mike Rounds of South Dakota

UK Seeks to Partner with Australia and Canada in Censorship Plot Against Elon Musk’s X: Report

The British government has reportedly reached out to fellow leftist-run Anglo-sphere nations Australia and Canada in an attempt to wage a coordinated campaign to potentially ban Elon Musk’s X social media platform.

Earlier this week, UK Prime Minsiter Sir Keir Starmer said that “all options” were on the table, including a potential ban of X in Britain, over users being able to have the platform’s Grok artificial intelligence generate “deepfake” nude images of women and children.

The recently enacted Online Safety Act — passed by the previous “Conservative” government — empowers broadcasting regulator Ofcom to impose fines of up to 10 per cent of a social media firm’s global revenue, and allows for bans in extreme cases.

Yet, apparently reticent to draw the ire of President Donald Trump alone, Downing Street reportedly held talks in recent days with Canberra and Ottawa to craft a joint response to the tech platform, The Telegraph reported.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who is pushing for more censorship rules in his own country following the Islamist mass shooting at Bondi Beach last month, said, “The fact that this tool was used so that people were using its image creation function through Grok is, I think, just completely abhorrent. It, once again, is an example of social media not showing social responsibility. Australians and indeed, global citizens deserve better.”

Toronto MP Evan Solomon, the Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation in Mark Caney’s government, denied on Sunday that Canada is considering a ban on X.

For his part, Elon Musk, who has long been critical of the increasingly censorious climate in Britain, accused Starmer’s government of acting “fascist” and suggested that they were merely looking for “any excuse for censorship” of X.

Censorship has become increasingly prevalent in Britain. Despite its long tradition of freedom of speech, the country is arresting around 30 people every day for comments made on social media, or over 12,000 per year. Such offences can include the sharing of “grossly offensive” messages or spreading content of “indecent, obscene or menacing character”.

The banning of X would remove a major headache for the struggling Labour government, which has come under consistent pressure personally from Musk, on issues such as freedom of speech, immigration, and the predominantly Pakistani Muslim child rape gangs and the failures of police and government to protect mostly young white working-class girls.

However, such an action taken against one of President Trump’s key allies and a major American business could risk further angering the White House, which has made fighting censorship in Europe a key foreign policy plank.

Indeed, just last month, the Trump administration sanctioned multiple Europeans, including two Britons, for their involvement in the international censorship industry.

This included Imran Ahmed, the head of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), an organisation with close ties to Prime Minsiter Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney. The administration has sought to deport Ahmed from the United States for his group’s efforts to censor American conservative outlets, including Breitbart News.

While the CCDH has close ties to the Labour government, the White House has yet to sign off on sanctions against any British government official.

This may change if X is banned, however, with Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna vowing to introduce legislation to sanction Prime Minister Starmer and the UK as a whole should the platform be banned in the UK.

“There are always technical bugs during the early phases of new technology, especially AI, and those issues are typically addressed quickly. X treats these matters seriously and acts promptly. Let’s be clear: this is not about technical compliance. This is a political war against Elon Musk and free speech—nothing more,” she said.

Yair Netanyahu said to become a member of the powerful Likud Central Committee

Premier’s son appears to have been appointed in an internal party agreement after a failed attempt to secure him a World Zionist Organization job last year

Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been made a member of the powerful Central Committee of his father’s ruling Likud party in an unelected role, Hebrew-language media reported Sunday.

The younger Netanyahu’s name was listed among the members of the party’s regional branch in Ma’ale Yosef, near the Lebanese border. Central Committee elections were held in November, but Netanyahu did not run, and instead appears to have been appointed as part of internal party agreements.

The Central Committee serves as the party’s main representative body, responsible for approving major policy decisions and internal rules. The body will directly influence the party’s Knesset slate ahead of the upcoming elections, which are due to be held no later than October 2026.

The appointment of Netanyahu’s son, a firebrand right-wing activist, appeared to be the latest in a series of attempts to bring him into Israeli politics in an unelected capacity.

In November, the Likud party attempted to secure him a cushy board position at the World Zionist Organization amid negotiations over the leadership of the WZO and Jewish National Fund-KKL, which controls billions of dollars in funding for Jewish causes.

According to Hebrew media reports at the time, the position he was slated to receive would have come with an office, a car, and a salary commensurate with that of a government minister.

A compromise agreement that was on the verge of being signed fell apart once the younger Netanyahu’s appointment was revealed, and had to be negotiated afresh, this time without his inclusion.

Netanyahu, 34, has spent much of the past two years living in Miami, Florida. He is known for his provocative social media presence and association with far-right European and American politicians and public figures.

He has repeatedly clashed with public figures, both at home in Israel and abroad.

In August last year, he suggested that IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir was behind a “rebellion and attempted military coup,” after he was reported to have disagreed with the government’s preferred mode of operation in Gaza.

And in May, after massive wildfires swept through the Jerusalem Hills on the eve of Independence Day, he suggested that left-wing activists were to blame, before accusing the Shin Bet of failing to prevent the fires.

An investigation later ruled out arson.

Spotify Confirms They’re Not Running ICE Recruitment Ads Anymore

A rep from Spotify confirmed that they are no longer airing recruitment ads for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the last campaign ended in late 2025.

The update comes after left-wing organizations openly complained about the ads, which were run between songs for ad-supported free subscribers.

“There are currently no ICE ads running on Spotify,” a statement from the music streaming giant said, per The Guardian. “The advertisements mentioned were part of a US government recruitment campaign that ran across all major media and platforms.”

Spotify previously addressed criticism of the ads, saying they did not “violate our advertising policies.”

“This advertisement is part of a broad campaign the US government is running across television, streaming, and online channels,” the company shared in a statement last October. “However, users can mark any ad with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to help manage their ads preferences.”

Similar ICE recruitment ads have been running on other popular platforms including Hulu, HBO Max, YouTube, and Pandora since last spring.

The non-profit organization Indivisible Project, best known for organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, called for a boycott of Spotify in an open letter shared in October.

“Spotify is exploiting the work of artists to line their pockets while recruiting for ICE – a secret police force that is terrorizing American communities. Spotify is actively amplifying the Trump regime’s drive to authoritarianism,” the letter said in part.

The organization took credit for Spotify no longer running the ads, writing in an update on Friday that “months of public pressure” resulted in the music streaming service no longer running ICE advertisements.

Some minor musical artists also removed their music from the platform in protest. This includes the Australian psych-rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, the Canadian group Godspeed You! Black Emperor, indie band Deerhoof, and U.S. singer-songwriter Kadhja Bonet, per The Guardian.

Feds Flag Financial Institutions That May Have Sent Money To Somali Terrorist Org

Bessent made the comments during a press conference from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area where he announced actions that the Treasury Department and the IRS are taking to crack down on fraud. He said that multiple money service businesses — non-bank financial institutions that transmit money — had been informed that they were under investigation.

“Our citizens have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror, or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters. Democratic Governor Tim Walz has allowed welfare programs and fraud to spiral out of control,” he said. “Billions of dollars intended for hungry children, housing for disabled seniors, and services for children with special needs were diverted to people who cheated the system, some of whom are not even American citizens.”

Bessent said that the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen), the arm of the Treasury that investigates money laundering and terrorist financing, were looking into whether money fraudulently obtained through welfare programs went to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terror group in Somalia.

Both agencies are investigating whether financial institutions complied with regulations to detect money laundering and other illicit activities. He did not disclose which money service businesses were under investigation.

“These businesses had an obligation to comply with anti-money laundering laws, and they will be held responsible for any crimes they committed,” he said.

Additionally, Bessent said that banks in Hennepin County, which encompasses Minneapolis, and Ramsey County, home to St. Paul, were being required to submit information about money transferred overseas.

Bessent estimated that around $300 million in funds had been fraudulently taken from the federal government through welfare programs meant to help impoverished children.

When asked by The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan during the conference if Walz may be potentially wrapped up in the investigation, Bessent said, “It’s clear that Governor Walz has been negligent in his fiduciary duties as the chief executive of the state of Minnesota that this would happen on his watch, and we are actively pursuing all leads to see the level of involvement, whether it’s limited to just negligence and incompetence, or is something more than that.”

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has mobilized multiple departments to investigate alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota, including allegations that millions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled to fraudulent daycares across the state throughout the past ten years.

The Department of Health and Human Services has stopped funding for childcare and other welfare programs to Minnesota while federal law enforcement investigates.
