Zeoli is fired up today as we dig into Tom Homan’s Minnesota move, why it’s working, and how it exposes the political games around ICE versus what real law enforcement actually wants.

We spend a big chunk of the show on Homan’s message from Minneapolis: this is a targeted operation, he wants officers and suspects going home alive, and cooperation is the whole point. We talk about how the loudest anti-ICE voices are often politicians and activists, while local and state law enforcement knows the streets need backup. And when that backup arrives “off-budget,” the incentives get real fast. The drawdown of 700 federal officers isn’t a retreat — it’s what happens when local agencies finally start filling the gap.

Then we get into two stories that connect in a way the press doesn’t want to touch: organized anti-ICE protests backed by major donor networks with China links, and the Las Vegas “biolab” story where some outlets downplay the China angle until way late. We go over what investigators reportedly found, why that raises eyebrows after the last few years, and why selective framing from big corporate media keeps showing up whenever China is involved.

Rich closes by bouncing across the political map: Bernie Sanders trying to distance himself from Tulsi Gabbard now that she’s on the other side of the aisle, Gavin Newsom hyping a high-speed rail project that keeps getting pricier while barely getting closer to the promise, and the latest out of New Jersey where Mikey Sherrill’s inauguration money trail looks awfully convenient for a politician who sold “transparency” on the campaign trail.
