Q: So you're not pulling back in Minnesota?

TRUMP: No no. Not at all.

But wait, wait! What do you call your act?

The Democrats!

Oh and about masks? LAPD is the first, but unlikely to be the last, law enforcement department in the country to announce they won't be enforcing that law.
LAPD Chief announces they will not be enforcing the mask ban on ICE goons (1/29/26)

Sen Dems fund DHS for two weeks so they can push for their "reforms" like requiring masking—ensuring the agency has the $$$ to continue terrorizing Minnesotans and people around the country
Chuck Schumer's office says Senate Democrats have a reached a deal with GOPers on DHS funding:

DHS funding will be separated from the 5 other bipartisan government funding bills + a two-week temporary spending bill (a continuing resolution) for DHS.

Hakeem Jeffries takes advantage of the momentum to push for political change.

lol jk he tells House Dems not to travel to MN in solidarity with the state's people
Hakeem Jeffries has told House Democrats not to go to Minnesota

Ed Markey calls to abolish ICE
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Minnesotans note that despite the media blitz around DHS pulling back in MN with Homan, this has not happened, at all
ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

Later that afternoon, Jasmine Crockett and Joaquin Castro visit Liam Castro, the five year old kidnapped from MN by ICE. He's very unwell in the Texas concentration camp where he is being held.
Jasmine Crockett & Joaquin Castro went to see Liam Ramos. After posting an image of him lying prone in his father’s arms, Crockett said, “He was lethargic. He was never alert the entire time that we were there. I was very concerned about his health.” 💔

Schumer then announces Dems are united around reforms to DHS/ICE that are largely meaningless and toothless
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

(on Sunday, King said he wouldn't support any kind of bill that would continue ICE funding)
Sen. Angus King: "I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE funding under these circumstances"
January 30, 2026 at 3:04 AM
By Wednesday afternoon, Senate Dems, led by nominal independent Maine Sen. Angus King, start to float a continuing resolution on DHS funding rather than pressing their advantage to push for real change
and in fact, it did work

On Tuesday afternoon, Hakeem Jeffries announces that he will pursue the impeachment of Kristi Noem, an effort presented as a threat to Trump that is unlikely to go anywhere in the GOP controlled Congress
Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Seth Moulton calls for abolishing ICE, joining Delia Ramirez, Zohran Mamdani, JB Pritzker, and others
January 30, 2026 at 3:04 AM
First, Greg Bovino is demoted, which is good, and replaced with Tom Homan, which is bad.

MN Gov. Tim Walz, the next day, inexplicably legitimizes Homan someone who "understands right and wrong"
