Federal Judge wants to talk to ICE Head….
Minnesota’s chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.
“The court’s patience is at an end,” U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz wrote in a remarkable filing late Monday, summoning acting ICE director Todd M. Lyons to his courtroom. The judge threatened possible contempt proceedings against Lyons over several instances in which Schiltz said the agency failed to grant detained immigrants bond hearings that had been ordered by judges in Minneapolis.
The court’s order set up a yet another potential showdown between the federal judiciary and Trump administration officials, who have sought to paint judges who question their tactics as “liberal activists.”
It was not clear Tuesday whether Lyons would comply with the order to appear or whether Justice Department attorneys would seek to block it in court. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment…..

ICE and CBP officers do NOT face disciplinary measures after shootings…
Department of Homeland Security officers have fired shots during enforcement arrests or at people protesting their operations 16 times since July, and as in the recent shootings in Minneapolis, in each case the Trump administration has publicly declared their actions justified before waiting for investigations to be completed.
The shootings have sparked alarm not only for their violence but also for the Trump administration’s response. Lawyers say officials have been quick to pursue felony charges against those fired at — though in four of 10 cases, prosecutors have either dropped charges or a judge has dismissed them after evidence emerged contradicting the government’s narrative of events.
None of the officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Border Patrol or Homeland Security Investigations has faced criminal charges in any of the shootings, nor has the administration announced any internal disciplinary measures against them….

Some people impacted by Border Patrol or ICE-involved shootings are turning instead to the civil courts for accountability.
An officer broke the window of the vehicle and, as Longoria drove forward amid the chaos — with his adult son and another man, both U.S. citizens, in the car — the officer fired shots into the rear passenger’s side of the car, said Greg Jackson, the civil attorney who is representing all three men.
Jackson said he believes the state has grounds to consider charges, but in the meantime, he is planning to file a civil lawsuit. In addition to Longoria, he is also representing a U.S. citizen who was shot in the shoulder by an ICE officer in late October in Ontario, California.
“Our point of view is that this was attempted murder, kidnapping, assault,” by federal officers in both cases, Jackson said. “Those are state-level crimes.”….

Most of the incidents involve officers firing at drivers during enforcement stops in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago where DHS has surged federal immigration officers. At least 10 people have been struck by bullets — including four U.S. citizens. Three people have been killed….

Gun people defend carrying a gun in protest area’s….
The killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minnesota has led to a rare rebuke of top Trump administration officials by leading 2nd Amendment advocates.
Multiple national gun-rights organizations, as well as a prominent Minnesota gun rights group, have expressed horror at top Trump administration officials’ criticism of Pretti for being armed with a handgun that he had a legal permit to carry.
“The FBI director needs to brush off that thing called the Constitution, because he clearly hasn’t read it,” National Association for Gun Rights President Dudley Brown told POLITICO. “I know of no more crucial place to carry a firearm for self defense than a protest.”
FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday on Fox News that “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple. You don’t have a right to break the law.” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Saturday that she didn’t “know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.”….

Homeland Sec Noem HAS BAD Polling numbers bleeding to Trump…
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten on Monday said he is “not really surprised” that President Donald Trump has sent his border czar Tom Homan to tackle the growing protests in Minnesota against the immigration crackdown, and suggested Kristi Noem’s tanking popularity as the reason the homeland security secretary wasn’t sent instead.
“ICE, DHS, Kristi Noem have been a political disaster” in polling, Enten told “News Central” anchor Kate Bolduan….

Trump disputes staff and says slain Alex Pretti was not an ‘assassin’
Trump was asked if the killed Minneapolis protester was an “assassin” as a key aide has claimed and the president answered “no.”
The president added, however, that protesters “can’t have guns” as Pretti did and “it’s just a very unfortunate incident.” Trump has said he wants the death investigated.
On Saturday, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on social media described Pretti as an “assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents.” Vice President JD Vance shared the post on X as well.

House Democrats tell Trump to fire DHS chief Noem or they will start impeachment proceedings against her
House Democratic leaders on Tuesday threatened to begin impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem if President Donald Trump does not fire her first.
Noem has faced increased pressure in recent days for her comments in the wake of the shooting of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.
“The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives,” the Democrats said in a statement.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” they said…
