Activity and rhetoric over immigration action and policy highlighted the headlines on this edition of the Round-Up. Here are some examples from the broadcast:
–Scientists are saying the ominous, symbolic “Doomsday Clock” is at 85 seconds before “midnight.” This is the closest it’s been to “midnight” since its introduction in 1947.
–An Iowa man was given the opportunity to pray for President Trump outside an Iowa restaurant.
–Kirk Bangstad, the Wisconsin owner of Minoqua Brewing Company, offers free beer all day long for everyone the day President Donald Trump dies.
–Ohio Democratic attorney general candidate Elliot Forhan is facing backlash for saying in a campaign video that he would “kill” President Trump by successfully prosecuting him for crimes and then winning a capital punishment sentence.
–A Florida labor and delivery nurse was banned Wednesday from practicing in Florida after posting her online wish that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer severe bodily harm when giving birth to her baby.
–A health care worker appeared to encourage people to intentionally drug ICE agents in a series of recent videos posted online.
–During the chaos and violence in the Minneapolis area, a protester bit off the finger of a federal officer.
–Governor Tim Walz was at the gate of his mansion urging protesters to keep causing trouble and fighting ICE. Jim provided audio from the governor.
–A self described Antifa member in Minneapolis called for armed men to get their boots on the ground to stop immigration officials who he calls mass murderers and fascist occupiers.
–Investigative reporter James O’Keefe has confirmed that at least some of the groups funding the anti-ICE violence have received federal tax money. Jim provided audio from Mr. O’Keefe.
–White House border czar Tom Homan has said that state and city officials have agreed to honor the ICE detainers in prisons which allow for a draw-down of federal agents. (Jim provided audio from Mr. Homan.)
–Gregory Bovino has been relieved of his position as border patrol commander at large.
–2 U.S. border patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti last weekend in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave.
–Popular podcaster Joe Rogan has broken his silence on the Minneapolis riots, describing them as a “color revolution,” which he characterized as a deliberate effort to manufacture chaos.
–The recent attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting raises questions about the legitimacy of the liquid attack itself. This is due to the fact that Omar refused to seek treatment and that the footage seems to indicate a nod toward the attacker just before the incident took place.
