Twin Cities ICE presence extends into Wisconsin β€’ Wisconsin Examiner ICE agents involved in the agency's surge into Minnesota have regularly crossed the border into nearby western Wisconsin communities.

And they're using their base here (I've heard it's off of 169 and Bren Road in Hopkins/Minnetonka) to head out to western Wisconsin's small communities wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/02/06/t...

They are still everywhere...and western Wisconsin. From my city's Feb. e-newsletter:
Initial costs paint a stark picture of the surge’s impact beyond the Twin Cities:
St. Louis Park and Eden Prairie local food shelves and rental assistance programs are facing funding gaps of $80,000 to $100,000.

The Epstein Cover-Up: Why did DOJ Hide Records of a Woman Who Made Claims Against Trump? The FBI interviewed a credible Trump accuser four times and created a 21 page slideshow for an internal DOJ presentation. Why did the Trump Administration scrub the information?

Listen to @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social, the independent journalist who broke the huge story of the credible Trump accuser whose interviews were scrubbed/hidden by the DOJ.

What is the Trump Administration hiding and why?

I don't know why the federal government has declared war on my state, but this is clearly because their attempt to conduct an invasion was thwarted. So they're now retaliating economically.

U.S. men’s hockey team feted at Trump’s State of the Union address Gold-medal-winning team visited the U.S. President at the White House ahead of the speech

Team USA is Team MAGA: Enthusiastically embracing fascism, misogyny, white supremacism. And, not forgetting the 4 Nations tournament, virulently anti-Canadian, siding with a president who believes our country β€” the country that pays many of them β€” shouldn’t exist.

Twenty U.S. men’s Olympic hockey players to attend Trump’s State of the Union address The majority of the roster arrived in Washington on Tuesday morning via a military jet that picked them up after a celebration in Miami.

ICE TOOK MINNESOTA TEEN, HID HIM FROM FAMILY ICE TOOK MINNESOTA TEEN, HID HIM FROM FAMILY

Instead, we're popping in Best In Show to watch again and remember the great comedy of Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara...just to mention two of the genius performances. #NOSOTU
