How Trump’s ICE Crackdown Is Breaking America: Living in the Shadow of the State.

Feb 3, 2026 | Across the United States, Trump’s expanded DHS and ICE enforcement is reshaping daily life—not through law and order, but through fear. In this video, we break down how warrantless arrests, masked federal agents, and aggressive immigration sweeps have triggered a public health crisis in Minnesota, driven people away from hospitals, and pushed entire communities into hiding. From pregnant patients afraid to seek care to doctors running underground home-visit networks, this is the real-world fallout of unchecked federal power. We also examine how protests are being met with military-style force, why international travelers are increasingly avoiding the US, and what it means for democracy when due process becomes optional. This isn’t just an immigration story—it’s a warning about what happens when fear replaces the rule of law.

ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants

THE NEW YORK TIMES: An internal memo changed the standard from whether people are unlikely to show up for hearings to whether they could leave the scene.

Amid tensions over President Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota and beyond, federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times.

The change expands the ability of lower-level ICE agents to carry out sweeps rounding up people they encounter and suspect are undocumented immigrants, rather than targeted enforcement operations in which they set out, warrant in hand, to arrest a specific person.

The shift comes as the administration has deployed thousands of masked immigration agents into cities nationwide. A week before the memo, it came to light that Todd M. Lyons, the acting director of the agency, had issued guidance in May saying agents could enter homes with only an administrative warrant, not a judicial one. And the day before the memo, Mr. Trump said he would “de-escalate a little bit” in Minneapolis, after agents fatally shot two people in the crackdown there.

The memo, addressed to all ICE personnel and signed on Wednesday by Mr. Lyons, centers on a federal law that empowers agents to make warrantless arrests of people they believe are undocumented immigrants, if they are “likely to escape” before an arrest warrant can be obtained. » | Hamed Aleaziz and Charlie Savage | Reporting from Washington | Friday, January 30, 2026

« Leurs vies sont détruites » : Lady Gaga dénonce les violences de l’ICE en plein concert au Japon

LE FIGARO : La star mondiale de la pop a interrompu son spectacle pour pointer du doigt la responsabilité du gouvernement américain dans la mort de deux citoyens tués par des agents de la police de l’immigration à Minneapolis.

Une nouvelle vague de chanteurs contestataires émerge aux États-Unis. Après Bruce Springsteen et sa chanson anti-ICE, c’est au tour de Lady Gaga de hausser le ton au sujet de la politique migratoire de Donald Trump. Lors d’un concert au Japon, à Tokyo, mercredi 28 janvier, la star mondiale de la pop a dénoncé les actions des agents fédéraux américains à Minneapolis, une ville du Minnesota où deux citoyens, Renée Good et Alex Pretti, ont été tués par la police de l’immigration ces derniers jours.

Alors qu’elle assurait son show devant des dizaines de milliers de fans, Lady Gaga a pris le temps de « parler d’un sujet qui [lui] tient particulièrement à cœur » et qui est aussi « important pour beaucoup de gens à travers le monde, surtout en Amérique en ce moment », a-t-elle déclaré. Avant d’ajouter : « Je pense aussi au Minnesota et à tous ceux qui chez nous vivent dans la peur. Je pense à toute leur souffrance et à la façon dont leurs vies sont détruites sous nos yeux. » » | Par Charles Boutin | vendredi 30 janvier 2026

Ecuador Objects After ICE Agent Tries to Enter Minneapolis Consulate

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Video showed diplomatic staff blocking the agent from entering on Tuesday morning.

Ecuador’s foreign ministry said it lodged a formal diplomatic protest with the United States after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent attempted to enter the country’s consulate in Minneapolis without permission on Tuesday morning.

Employees of the consulate stopped the agent from entering, the Ecuadorean foreign ministry said in a statement Tuesday night. Under the Vienna Conventions, to which the United States is a party, foreign consular buildings are off-limits to law enforcement from the host country without authorization from consular officials.

The incident comes amid an aggressive federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has prompted an outpouring of anger in the state and across the country.

Video footage verified by The New York Times shows a member of staff rushing to an entrance to the consulate, where an agent appears to have opened the door. The employee can be heard saying, “This is the Ecuadorean consulate, you’re not allowed to enter.” The agent responds by saying, “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.”

The consulate, in Northeast Minneapolis, has a clearly marked facade emblazoned with Ecuador’s national seal. » | Max Bearak and Ali Watkins | Wednesday, January 28, 2026

Mini-Nazi Greg Bovino Promises More Murder for Accurately Describing ICE Terror

Jan 26, 2026 | Jesse discusses Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino’s recent media appearances, where he blames left-wing officials for the ICE terrorism in Minnesota, stating terms like Gestapo and Nazi increase the risk to the Nazis in the streets committing violence in our communities. Greg is following in Border Czar Tom Homan’s footsteps as he threatens more violence from ICE if people accurately describe what they are and what they’re doing. Jesse plays a clip from Border Czar Tom Homan, who recently made a similar threat that more “incidents” will occur if the public accurately describes them and refuses to cower to propaganda efforts.

Greg Bovino is clearly ignorant of the etymology of the word ‘Gestapo’. For Greg Bovino’s education and enlightenment, the German word Gestapo is a portmanteau word. It is a made-up word from the following: Die GEheime STAatsPOlizei, (Geheime = Secret; Staatspolizei = state police). And that is exactly what ICE are: secret state police. Just a little lesson for you, Bovino! — © Mark Alexander

Man Shot Dead by Federal Agents in US Named as Nurse Alex Pretti | BBC News

Jan 25, 2026 | Federal immigration officers have shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, identified by local officials as 37-year-old Alex Pretti.
