Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Overrules Lawless Lowly District Judicial Insurrectionist, Removing Bullshit Restrictions on How ICE Can Handle Violent "Protesters"

Who knows, it's possible that this judge's lawless diktat that "protesters" should be allowed to be violent and ICE is barred from responding with non-lethal munitions like tear gas and pepper spray actually led to the death of the violent protesters.

MXM News:

A federal appeals court on Monday stepped in to stop what the Trump administration argued was an extraordinary act of judicial overreach, blocking a Minnesota order that effectively handcuffed federal immigration agents during enforcement operations.
The three-judge panel on the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Trump administration and issued a full stay of a January injunction that had restricted how officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement could respond while facing aggressive anti-ICE protests.
That lower-court order barred agents from making arrests, detaining individuals, or using pepper spray during confrontations unless heightened legal thresholds were met--rules critics warned would put officers at risk as agitators pressed into enforcement scenes.

The lowly district court judge and insurrectionist had claimed, in the face of all evidence, that the "protesters" were all uniformly peaceful and therefore ICE was barred from using any non-lethal force against them.

Reviewing the same video evidence cited by the district court, the appeals panel flatly rejected the idea that the encounters were uniformly peaceful, writing that the footage showed "a wide range of conduct, some of it peaceful but much of it not," with agents responding to rapidly changing situations.

...
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez had accepted [violent "protesters'"] claims on January 16, finding the plaintiffs likely to succeed on First and Fourth Amendment grounds and issuing a sweeping injunction against the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.
Her ruling cited alleged instances in which agents used pepper spray, pointed weapons, made arrests, and conducted traffic stops against individuals she characterized as peacefully observing or protesting enforcement activity.
The appeals court was unmoved, emphasizing that the encounters varied widely--different officers, different protesters, different behavior, different locations--making a blanket prohibition not only unworkable but dangerous.
Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the decision as a decisive stand for law enforcement.
"Liberal judges tried to handcuff our federal law enforcement officers, restrict their actions, and put their safety at risk when responding to violent agitators," Bondi wrote on X, noting that the Justice Department first secured a temporary pause and has now won a full stay.

In the meanwhile, Kash Patel says he's following the money and the FBI is investigating who is funding these violent revolutionary groups.

He also says the FBI is continuing to investigate the fraud network.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday the bureau has identified people and groups who are funding leftist protests aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Minnesota.
During an appearance on conservative commentator Benny Johnson's podcast, Patel confirmed that the FBI's investigation into the unrest is active and expanding.
"We've got ... investigations ongoing into the funding of this," Patel told Johnson, stressing that the protests are "not happening organically" and that investigators have made "substantial progress" in uncovering groups and individuals financially backing them.
Patel also asserted that federal authorities are examining encrypted left-wing chats connected to protest organizers in Minnesota -- warning those involved that they "should be worried" if they have violated federal statutes.

Some people are asking: Is this insurrection being staged not to protect illegal aliens but to protect the Democrat Party's fraud-farmers in blue cities?

In other words, are they attempting to block further investigation of the Somali and other organized crime looting of the federal treasury?

If this is just about protecting criminal illegals, why did the violent "protests" not begin until after the Nick Shirley revelations?!

@ArthurMacwaters
Let me get this straight:
1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent
2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE*
3. once riots happen and people are die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE
If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024?
The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy.
Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims. And people are getting hurt.

This entire ICE fight is over the 2030 Census.

Democrats pushed millions of people in blue states to move out with their high taxes, Covid tyranny, and skyrocketing costs of living, so they opened the border floodgates under Biden to replace them with illegals.

President Trump is now mass deporting them so they’re violently fighting back.

The 2030 Census all comes down to the 2028 race though.

If Democrats steal the White House again, these 2030 Census numbers will get rigged worse than the 2020 election.

If a Republican wins, Dems will rightfully lose power in DC for decades.

Recognize where we are.

I don't think that's accurate. They don't want so many deaths that the faceless minions of evil are discouraged from throwing temper tantrums.

Kyle Rittenhouse demonstrated that threshhold is apparently three in one night.

What they want is the one right death that will get them sympathy with the normies in order to justify larger "protests" and provide the narrative for the next round of election theft in November. Which will coincide with historic midterm trends, so most people will be expecting Dem gains.

37 People forget that the Left is AlWAYS in apocalyptic crisis mode. Every moment is the moment of "Revolution." Every passing political outrage is an end-times catastrophe.

Ever seen interviews with activists from the 1968-1974 period? They all say the same thing, "We were convinced that the Revolution was happening. This was IT -- the moment America would fall. We were delirious with anticipation. Any day now, any moment now." Etc.

But of course it didn't happen.

Same with Reagan, same with Bush, yadda yadda, never ending. It's like a doomsday cult that constantly predicts the end iof the World, constantly gets embarrassed when it doesn't end, and then makes another ludicrous prediction, and no one ever points this out.

67 The Democrat Party's ability to hold power depends on illegal immigration, massive fraud (welfare and elections), and violence. It is an enemy of the Republic no different than it was in the Civil War. To the degree that martyrs are good for their cause, they are no different than Hamas.

I'm even willing to accept this was probably a bad/premature shoot, but that's exactly the point. The reason you don't fuck around with law enforcement, especially while carrying, is the same reason you assume every gun is loaded. You don't know when you're going to encounter the asshole, trigger-happy cop, so you assume the one you're dealing with is one of those and behave yourself.

75 On the one hand I assume the riots and insurrection in Minnesota are primarily to deflect from the fraud. It's apparent the unrest is being orchestrated by the state government and the Minneapolis city government. Names we've come to know.

The Somali angle isn't important, but I'd bet there's a strong connection between them, and in all honesty, every other immigrant group nationwide who's in on the fraud. If it's not the lightbulb heads it's the Mexicans or the ghetto welfare queens, or....

But they're all tied to state and local government officials who are running the fraud from office. It's how you steal about 38 trillion dollars from the taxpayers over a couple decades.

It is a bunch of people on both sides trying to get the world and the politics to go on as it has since 1981.
Some because it gives them power, some because it gives them a solid base for their political plans or continuing fraud, some because their plans involve the destruction of the US and want to take power instead, and some because it makes the world simple and easy to understand, and some because "the bed is so warm, I don't want to get up and face the new day"

The participation in a conspiracy is as varied as the people in it. And if it is political there are probably three times more reasons to get involved than there are participants.

90 Also, another cartel judge has ordered the Border Patrol chief to appear in his court as to whether he should be held in contempt.

The issue is whether the BP has sufficient resources to process all the people they are arresting.

The judge is whining because some shitbag illegal has had to wait 8 days now on his bond hearing.

Except ... bond isn't required in immigration.
AFAIK, that's made-up "judge" law.

And the judge is whining that somehow it's the BP fault there as so many habeas petitions.
But, didn't we just have a ruling that illegals cannot appeal their final order of removal via habeas?

Oh right: Cartel judges are the law.

92 *Breaking* news: It turns out that Alex Pretti was injured in a scuffle with federal agents in Minneapolis a week before he was shot.

Pretti, was left with a broken rib after being tackled by a group of officers during a protest against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, according to a CNN source*.

The alleged assault occurred after Pretti stopped his car after seeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers chasing a family on foot.

Pretti allegedly began shouting and blowing a whistle, and was then tackled to the ground by five agents. The source claimed one officer leaned on his back, causing his ribs to break.

The ICU nurse, who allegedly 'thought he was going to die', was reportedly released at the scene - but allegedly remained on federal agents' radar.

* Since this isn't being reported by CNN Senior Correspondent Brian Stelter, we don't know if it's reliable.

Both the named administrations - obviously - facilitated massive increases in illegal alien presence. The Obama "deportations" were mostly close to the border and after immediate apprehension, which don't require almost any process whatsoever.

Obviously the country has been dumbed down beyond recognition in recent decades. But the pathetic teenage bleatings about "hypocrisy!" such as the one cited by ace still amaze.

Oh - and the anti-ICE actions pre-dated MN and happened/are happening elsewhere. It's not - obviously - about "distraction". It has its own objectives.

Because, if they lose there, they will never rally the public anywhere else.

“What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized.

The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.

No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It’s time to show the world. More importantly, it’s time to show ourselves.”

145 This is theater. Just like the covid bullshit psyop.

The GOP in Congress wants slave labor to wash cars and flip carne asada for small business owners. They want your local church and us tax cattle to pay for their bennies.

The Dems in Congress want slave labor to rape your wife and kids and kill you on the highway. They want an NGO and us tax cattle to pay for their bennies.

Both know that welfare programs and NGOs are easy to skim.

Samey same.

=======================
Minnesota hides a lot of stuff, it turns out.

I learned today Somalia has a GDP of less than $14 billion. No wonder all those people were willing, even eager, to move to the cold northern Minneapolis; they could nearly double their country's GDP. And the state politicians and Democrat residents will actually DEFEND their right to loot the place.

- they'll never have a majority on the Supreme Court in any of our lifetimes
- they'll be locked out of winning the House for decades as well

When you add in election integrity pushed by Trump then Vance, backed up by the SCOTUS, we will also see several more states flip solid red up and down the ballot.

________________________

They, actually, have a "legitimate" GDP of $14 Billion. However, the richest man in Somalia (and his family) own Dahabshiil Money Transfer. Mohamed Said Duale is founder, chairman, and owner. He's a billionaire many times over. You'd have to assume that Somalia's biggest import and export is actual currency, not commodities. How much of this is legitmate and not a laundering operation is suspect.

Minnesota has three full branches of Dahabshiil Money Transfer right square in the middle of Minneapolis. In fact, you will find a branch or more where ever Somalis settle in bulk in the US. Makes you scratch your head. Someone is orchestrating the entire process. And, there is TSA footage of couriers transporting suitcases filled with cash by airline.

217 Any operation involving a cadre of men trained in the art of violence has its risks. Especially when they are operating under the cover of civilian or military authority. Once you deploy them you’ve taken a calculated risk. One of those risks is that people who actively or inadvertently get in the way will be killed or wounded. These communists and traitors deliberately put themselves in the way. They knew the risks but didn’t think they would fall on them.

They chose badly.

Politics is another matter. What’s driving this is a desire to beat back four years of invasion by the Democrats. It’s furthermore driven by a CiNC who wants to fulfill those promises. Remember that when next cycle the subversives start pretending to be conservatives and saying Republicans didn’t deliver on mass deportations.

The communists will see this change in strategy as an affirmation their tactics are working. Expect to see them repeat these operations in places like NY. It’s already starting.

We have a giant shitpuddle ahead of us, and you’re about to find out who has the shoes to get through it.

SCOTUS would never get involved in that level of infighting. They jumped the gun in going to the 8th circuit. They made a mistake right at the start by not finding a friendly judge they could take the original warrant to. And if there wasn't one they had, then that's an even bigger problem.

Some of it is deliberate and part of the OPFOR strategy to divide the electorate. The other part is ignorance.

The people funding and organizing this aren’t stupid. They know exactly what they’re doing and have hidden behind a complex legal strategy designed to promote this as legitimate, constitutionally protected activities. In that regard, they’ve left themselves enough cover that when things go kinetic they have plausible deniability.

I understand that all federal judges are just honest Joes, doing their job for the betterment of America. So the magistrate who refused the warrant only did so because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up, and then, in the appeal, they ruled that Lemon had broken the law but THEY wouldn't issue a warrant because Pam Fucking Bondi personally fucked things up.

And we know that Pam Fucking Bondi hasn't taken the matter to a grand jury because our Ouija board told us... but how, exactly did Pam Bondi fuck this up? Please explain, Law Master.

Regarding the "peaceful protesters" is not what I see. Today I saw a video of a nitwit who grabbed a flash bang grenade, I guess to throw it back. Insted her fingers are burnt and shredded, what is left of them.

She? then ran towards the officers for some reason, whipped her hat off and screaming. What did she think would happen? A nerf grenade? Why? They are all idiots.

I have another issue: the F word used every other word. Like it is going to wound ICE officers. I am not offended but I think it is also lame in that it is used so often people are immune.

Same with the brave "soldiers of peace" putting their gloved middle finger in officer's faces.

Oh, yes! That will make them lay down and submit.

The collective IQ of these crowds is maybe pushing 100...all of them combined. Where are the Somolian protesters, eh? (I said eh like I am from Canada of MN).

318 If my daughter brings up the "ICE executions" to me, I'm going to assign her a task

1. Find the video of Ashli Babbitt being shot on J6.
2. Do a slow-motion frame by frame viewing of it and to detect where any lethal force of climbing through a window unarmed almost killed Officer Byrd.

Outside of Joe Scarborough's lame "She was in the army, where they train like commandos, with registered lethal hands and stuff!".

I'll ask her if she saw a concealed toe blade deployed.

As much as I don't like to get political on my X stream, the contrast is too stark to care. It's not going to be a matter of "who deserves being dead", but just to point out that a not-too-well trained Officer Byrd was reprimanded for leaving his gun in a bathroom once.

And did far more what looks like an execution than what happened to Pretti (until he was down).

I've already anticipated "She shouldn't have been there."

You know, as if we can't say Pretti should not have been closing in on ICE agents, when he had been told to stay back. Both were approaching officers, and we can't even talk about when Babbitt was disarmed or what she was carrying where and whether she was in compliance.

I worked for a company based in Minnesotat a few years ago and like most states when you outside the blue metro areas controlled by Democrats you see much more normal and reasonable people.

Last night the cops were actually assisting and aiding ICE in Minnesota. The part that isn't Minneapolis.

330 The 670-ish lower courts currently function as a distributed denial of service attack force against the 9 Supreme Court Justices. Or, more accurately, against between 2 and 6 of the Supreme Court Justices.

All SCOTUS can do is overturn the fraudulent lower court rulings one at a time. And that only after a significant amount of time and effort.

The lower courts constantly refuse to apply SCOTUS rulings to future cases. They absolutely can do that. They have done that. They will continue to do that until such time as the real boss of the lower courts fires a bunch of them for cause.

There is every reason to expect that Congress will continue to never do so.

Perhaps the President can arrest and prosecute a bunch of them for sedition or conspiracy.

Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 27, 2026 01:47 PM (iFTx/)

*******

As I understand / remember it, back when Obama was president, he needed/wanted to beat back Republican accusations that he was soft on illegal immigration. (Hint...he was soft on illegal immigration.)

So what he did, to tbeef up his reputation, was to re-classify border apprehensions. In the past, if you got stopped at the border, and sent back to Mexico, that didn't count as a deportation. Only if you made it to the interior, and then got picked up and sent back to Mexico, would that count as a deportation.

So, he just reclassified those who got picked up at the border and sent back to Mexico as deportations. And Viola! Obama was able to portray himself as a law and order guy to beat back negative Republican portrayals of him.

Ironically, it worked so well.. (cont,)

I saw video of a very professional encounter between ICE and neighbors. The Karens in the crowd were all huffy "I'm going to record this on my PHONE!". The officer that seemed to be in charge was pleasant and said "Recording is not a problem,". And then, pointing several cars along the street back, he said, "But I'm going to need you to stay behind that white car. Videotaping is not a problem, but you have to clear the area."

So, I compare that to the observation that Pretti was told at least once that he was too close, and needed to put some distance. So, it kinda sounds like a case where standing too close to ICE officers after they have told you to step back is tantamount to obstruction.

Not a lawyer so I don't know these things.

But once Pretti's obstructing, putting their hands on him for "just videotaping with his First Amendment Rights" is reasonable.

The Biden administration didn't just let millions of illegals into the country, they purposefly flew them all over the country to create the scenario we are seeing play out now. It's a hell of a lot harder to deport them from the interior, particulalry whem they are sent to sanctuary cities and states with activist judges.

341 Regarding nursing strikes...I could not do it.

When I was a new grad, a friend and classmate (who is one of the biggest liberals I now know) wanted to unionize. She came to me for a vote & I told her I could not, if assigned that day, not work & abandon patients. She was not pleased & I did not care.

It came to a 3 way vote:
Vote for her little union
Vote for ACLU (I was horrified)
NO's won

She was maybe a "real nurse" as a charge RN like me for six months. After this tango, the nursing administration put her as VP or something of nursing (I can't remember). Sort of a bribe to shut her up. She went on for her MS in nursing and to bigger things.

She was very smart, or at least very well spoken. She's gone "far" in her career while I just worked jobs that I liked (always part time) and raised our chimps to be good men. I had fun and was never career focused, altho jobs were created for me as I was smart, dedicated, and can talk to anyone. I can even be charming if needed, which I know is a shock!

I think this person may still be working as I don't know. When I could read her twitter stuff it was obvious she was a radical Dim loon. I could see her protesting.
