 Tariffs Key to U.S. Manufacturing Comeback  | John Solomon & Michael Waltz

SignalGate exploded last week when independent journalist Cam Higby released an undercover investigation that should shock every American.

Organized, encrypted networks of anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis using Signal chat groups to coordinate real-time interference with federal immigration enforcement—during one of the most volatile periods in the city’s recent history, following fatal ICE shootings.

These groups grew to nearly 1,000 members. Higby’s screenshots, videos, and audio capture activists tailing, surrounding, and blocking vehicles they believed to be ICE—including a near-violent swarm on Higby himself after misidentifying his car.

There was panic in the chats in the aftermath: members deleting accounts, scrubbing devices, talks of fleeing the state or country.

Minnesota State Rep. Alex Falconer admitted running some of those groups—along with local groups officials and outside funders. It was premeditated obstruction of federal officers and Attorney General Pam Bondi must act decisively.

Zero tolerance - the only response.

Spontaneous nationwide protests have erupted across the repressive Islamist theocracy of Iran. Ordinary Iranians are demanding not only economic relief, but an end to the Islamic Republic itself.

This is the largest popular uprising Iran has seen in nearly two decades. And the regime is responding with brutal force. Security services are trying to crush dissent through terror. 

And the human toll is staggering. In just weeks, the regime’s crackdown has caused more civilian deaths than two years of fighting in Gaza. Yet legacy media has remained largely silent, with a few notable exceptions.

Iran is home to a rich culture and a proud history. America and President Trump are watching closely. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft is in the region. God willing, this time the Iranian people—perhaps with our help—will throw off their oppressors and reclaim a free and hopeful future.

 Can America avoid another war in the streets, this time over federal enforcement of immigration law? Both Donald Trump and Governor Tim Walz have that opportunity.

After a second shooting involving an activist during Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge last week, tensions escalated and violent protests increased. This time, the president emphasized his determination to enforce federal law but put border czar Tom Homan in direct charge on Monday. 

Walz appears to have recognized this as an opening to dial down the tensions and the rhetoric. Trump announced that Walz called him shortly after Homan’s appointment and held “a very good call” to pledge his efforts to find ways to coordinate to resolve the conflict. 

This offers a good opportunity for peace. However, none of this would have happened had it not been for Minnesota’s “sanctuary” status. Had Walz followed most of the rest of the country and cooperated with federal law enforcement, these operations would not be necessary, and the peace would never have been threatened.
