A federal judge on Friday ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to limit their tactics against protesters in Minnesota, as federal immigration enforcement officers confront demonstrators rallying after a woman was killed by an ICE officer last week.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez wrote in her order that ICE cannot retaliate against, arrest or detain "persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity." read more

Let's talk for a minute about Kristi Noem, and the reason we need to do so is because of something she said yesterday, Thursday, January 15th.

Noem was speaking to reporters outside the White House, and she was asked if she expects Americans to be carrying around proof of citizenship in case they are stopped for questioning.

Listen carefully to what she said." read more


We are cursed by what the historian Barbara Tuchman calls the "bellicose frivolity of senile empires."

All empires, when they are dying, worship the idol of war. War will save the empire. War will resurrect past glory. War will teach an unruly world to obey.

But those who bow down before the idol of war, blinded by hypermasculinity and hubris, are unaware that while idols begin by calling for the sacrifice of others, they end by demanding self-sacrifice. read more

Considering that Immigrants are FAR less likely to commit crimes than are US citizens, perhaps what we need are MORE immigrants.

"Research consistently shows that immigrants, including undocumented individuals, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than native-born U.S. citizens. This trend has been documented across various types of offenses and has remained consistent for decades.

Key Findings on Crime Rates

Incarceration Rates: According to studies through 2025, native-born Americans are roughly 267% more likely to be incarcerated by age 33 than immigrants. In 2023, the incarceration rate for native-born citizens was 1,221 per 100,000, while it was 613 for undocumented immigrants and 319 for legal immigrants.

Violent Crime: In Texas - the only state that systematically tracks criminal history by immigration status - undocumented immigrants are arrested for violent and drug crimes at less than half the rate of native-born citizens.

Homicide: Data from 2012 to 2018 in Texas showed a total homicide arrest rate of 4.8 per 100,000 for U.S.-born citizens compared to 1.9 per 100,000 for undocumented immigrants."
