- Another Shutdown Looms? Schumer Vows Dems Will Vote Against Funding ICE After Latest Minnesota Shoot...
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images) Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed congressional Democrats will vote against a funding package that includes billions of dollars for the Department of Homeland Security after a man was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. Schumer’s announcement suddenly increases the risk the government will partially shutdown at the end of the month. “What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling — and unacceptable in any American city,” Schumer said in a statement obtained by The Hill. He continued, “Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.” The legislation includes $64.4 billion for DHS, with $10 billion going towards ICE, The New York Times reported. The funding package needs the support of some Democrats to reach the 60 votes needed to advance in the Senate. Schumer made his threat hours after 37-year-old protester… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Dem Lawmaker Accuses Trump-Loving ‘Racist’ Man of Punching Him in the Face at Sundance Film Fest...
(Photo credit: Tom Williams) Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL) accused a man of drunkenly screaming “racist” remarks about President Donald Trump deporting him before punching him in the face at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night. Frost shared those details in an X post on Saturday night. He included a link to a Variety story on a “party crasher” at a CAA event who assaulted an attendee at the Utah film festival — with Frost revealing he was the guy who got punched. Here is what Variety reported about the incident: A source at the talent agency’s party said the man, who is caucasian, was involved in a racially charged incident that took place at the eatery’s restroom. He apparently shocked other people in the bathroom by talking about how proud he was to be “white.” He then allegedly punched a person of color in the face after he… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Family of ICE Victim Call Out ‘Sickening Lies’ from Trump Admin: ‘Reprehensible and Disgusting...
(AP Photo/Jack Brook) The family of Alex Pretti slammed President Donald Trump’s administration for spreading “sickening lies” about the 37-year old ICU nurse who was gunned down by Border Patrol agents in a statement obtained by CNN on Saturday evening. The Department of Homeland Security claimed Pretti was impeding an operation and “brandishing” a weapon when he was shot nine times by Border Patrol officials earlier in the day in Minneapolis. Pretti’s family ripped that claim in its statement to CNN. CNN’s Brian Stelter posted the full statement to X on Saturday night: “We are heartbroken but also very angry,” the statement began. “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 hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago - Kristi Noem Sidesteps Question on Whether Alex Pretti Brandished a Gun
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took a question from a reporter Saturday asking for clarification about the gun DHS claimed Alex Pretti “brandished” in order to harm ICE agents. Noem did not give a straight answer. In Minnesota, “brandishing” means “to display or wield a weapon.” Viral video on social media taken from a variety of angles showed Pretti pointing a camera at ICE agents to record their actions, but no gun. Additional video showed ICE agents removing a gun from Pretti while they had him pinned to the ground. Minneapolis police confirmed that Pretti had a lawful concealed carry license. “Did the 37 year old, who had a license to carry, did he brandish a gun?” the reporter asked. “And at what point did law enforcement retrieve the gun? And also the magazines from him?” Noem answered: This individual showed up to impede a law… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - Fox’s Tomi Lahren Hopes Trump Considers Insurrection Act After Minneapolis Shooting: ‘This Is No...Fox News star Tomi Lahren said she hopes President Donald Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act to counter civil unrest in Minnesota following the shooting death of a man protesting against ICE and Border Patrol on Saturday. The co-host of The Big Weekend Show said she had mixed emotions after the shooting. On the one hand, she said she wished Trump would “leave Minneapolis to its own devices” and let it be overwhelmed by “illegals and fraudsters.” That would fit the demands of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), after Frey urged the Trump administration to withdraw federal immigration agents from his city right after the shooting on Saturday. “But them the other part of me is like ‘No, you need to make sure we have order and restore order in this country,'” Lahren said. “This is not 2020 and we need to reset… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
- Charles Barkley Slams Trump’s ‘Scary’ Immigration Crackdown After Latest Shooting: ‘Two Peop...Outspoken NBA legend Charles Barkley vented the situation in Minnesota has turned “scary” and urged politicians to “step up” and end the chaos after another protester against ICE and Border Patrol was shot and killed on Saturday. Barkley said the shooting — following the shooting death of Renee Good earlier this month — has led to civil unrest that is crippling the state. He did not call out President Donald Trump by name, but seemed to take issue with his administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration in Minnesota. Here is what Barkley said on Saturday evening: Going back to, I think her name was Renee Good, and today — it’s just sad, man. It’s scary, it’s sad, and it’s going to end bad. It’s already ended badly twice. And somebody’s got to step up and be adults, because, man, two people have died for no reason. And it’s just sad.… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
