A Federal Judge Finally Slams the Brakes on ICE

US District Judge Kate Menendez issued an 80-page order barring federal agents involved in 'Operation Metro Surge' in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters and using non-lethal munitions or crowd dispersal tools against them. The ruling also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles that maintain a safe and appropriate distance while following them.

The host cites the ruling itself and plays video clips showing alleged aggressive tactics by ICE/Border Patrol agents, including an agent kneeing a person in the head and others choking a person with their legs, which the judge's order aims to prevent.

The Justice Department issued subpoenas to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, alleging they are impeding federal law enforcement officers. The host emphasizes that these subpoenas are 'without recent precedent' and represent a 'weaponization of the Justice Department' against Democratic critics.

The host reads from a Washington Post write-up detailing the subpoenas and highlights the irony that the DOJ is pursuing state officials while refusing to investigate the shooting of Renee Good, which caused six US attorneys to resign.

The Justice Department is actively refusing to investigate the actions of the police officer who shot and killed Renee Good. Instead, instructions from above directed the investigation to focus on Renee Good, her relatives, and potential connections to 'nefarious organizations' involved in protests. This refusal led to the resignation of at least six US attorneys in Minneapolis.

The host states this directly, noting the resignations of US attorneys, including one integral to corruption probes in Minneapolis, as evidence of the DOJ's misplaced priorities.
