Bayelsaowei you should encourage more people to risk their lives so we can come on Nairaland to debate if ICE or the police acted in self-defence or not. A woman who was doing the same thing just said people should stop doing it and not give ICE a reason to shoot them. People drive around chasing ICE, trying to prevent them from doing their jobs, shoot at them, attack them. With that kind of environment, things can get really crazy. This is not something we should be arguing. https://fxtwitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/2009109693541892432 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4gfk6Wtj1Y 5 Likes |

Unlimited22:She should not have lost her life, But DHS is trained to use deadly force. she has a 7 years old kid that she is supposed to put first instead of chasing ICE around and obstructing them. Two things are certain here or more. She should not have been shot dead, The shooting also looks Justified, Some of us have been saying things like this would happen and discourage this kind of behavior, while others excuse the behavior and when a life is taken, all they can do is debate it from a generic moral standpoint. It is certain that taking a life of anyone is always a moral discourse, it will always look bad even if it is Justified. from the Legal standpoint, it seems like what the guy did is justified also. No one should give law enforcement justification to take their life. 1 Like

benalvino3:What is the environment that ICE is operating in. You have democrats sanctuary cities , antifa and other paid protesters and ordinary snowflakes impending their work. This really happened. Benjamin Song: Indicted in late 2025 for charges including attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence related to a July 4, 2025, attack on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. Reuben Rankin: A Cleveland man charged in federal court in November 2019 after allegedly firing at federal agents, including ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, while they were serving a search warrant. Pedro Alvarado and Arnoldo Alvarado: [/b]A father and son in South Texas arrested and charged in June 2025 with assault on a federal officer and using a firearm during a crime of violence after an HSI special agent was shot. [b]Multiple Defendants in the Alvarado, TX incident: Several other individuals were indicted in connection with the July 2025 attack in Alvarado, Texas, on charges including rioting, providing material support to terrorists, and conspiracy to use explosives (fireworks). These defendants included Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, Autumn Hill, and Zachary Evetts. Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco: In June 2025, a man from Venezuela and alleged gang member was charged with attempted murder and assault of a federal officer after a physical attack that injured an HSI agent in Nebraska. In a separate incident in Dallas in September 2025, a shooter identified as Joshua Jahn fired at an ICE facility from a nearby rooftop, killing himself after the attack. No law enforcement officers were injured in this incident, but three detainees were shot, two fatally. The FBI investigated the attack as a targeted act of "targeted violence" or domestic terrorism due to anti-ICE messages found with the shooter. I'm not justifying the shooting . Some split second decisions can and are made in error. There are nutcases out there who have no reason at all to impede ICE but have normalized violence against the agents. https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/2009068785412809044
And her wife was filiming the incident.

raumdeuter:https://apnews.com/article/georgia-state-income-tax-eliminate-cuts-republicans-d1afa8a2ff86322d80f12cda3854eb8b Georgia, especially the Atlanta area, has a thriving Black American middle class. The Republicans there are putting in the legislative work to eliminate State income tax by 2032 and also scrap property taxes. But it’s unclear if the proposal will pass. Georgia House Republicans may want to continue nibbling away at the tax in smaller bites, preferring a “measured” approach. Republican House Speaker Jon Burns of Newington said Wednesday that his big 2026 goal is to eliminate property taxes for homeowners, but said he’s willing to consider the Senate plan.Again, everyone should go study up on the Lafer Curve. It's a PROVEN economic theory that LOWER TAX RATES tend to cause INCREASED GOVERNMENT REVENUE.....proven by President Trumps 2016 tax cuts and also persistent surpluses in the State of Tennessee which keeps cutting taxes and keeps running revenue surpluses. Cutting taxes makes government more efficient. Most of the Blue States are drowning in DEFICITS, they keep raising taxes and raising spending and destroying the economic stability of their workers and business people. The City of Chicago is DOUBLING property taxes....this is a city with a major Black American property class....and at the same time issuing END OF YEAR SALARY BONUSES of $100K, 200K to their city employees. Same thing going down in Boston MA by the way where they keep raising taxes....providing more money to be stolen by an African illegal immigrant elected to the Boston City Council. Working people should be voting for those who will cut their taxes. Home owners should be pushing for ELIMINATING all forms of WEALTH TAXES, which include property taxes.....those not familiar with the difference between WEALTH TAX and INCOME TAX should please read it up, wealth taxes are DESTRUCTIVE and CORRUPT. Black people own valuable property now, there's plenty Black American millionaires now, BLACK isn't synonymous with POOR anymore. Good Luck to Nigerians. 3 Likes |

Tim Walz is well something. St George of Fentanyl riots occured under his watch .He delayed deployment of the NG .His wife Gwen Walz, Tim Walz's wife (the First Lady of Minnesota). In a June 2020 interview, she said she kept the windows of the governor's residence open "as long as I could" to smell the burning tires, describing it as a "touchstone of what was happening". 2019 video exposing how the Somalis flew out millions of cold hard cash out . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQMaxFs8r4c He is possibly under criminal investigation. The woman shot yesterday,his reaction looks calculated to divert attention from the investigation Yesterday, Tim Walz declared Minnesota is at "war against the federal government." Again today, he called it "war with our federal government." He is threatening to deploy the National Guard in the wake of the fatal shooting. He is happy the spotlight on the fraud is now back burner. 2 Likes |

Trump is heading to Davos the elitist WEF . To pour cold water on their globalist agenda. He has ordered the US govt to exit from 65 UN bodies . It' has a huge ramification,these bodies in turn finance a network of grievance NGOs. That seek to entrench a New World Order. |

LOL Trump's granddaughter Kai on how to deal with liberals.She has been insulted by virtue of her last name. https://pjmedia.com/michaelcantrell/2026/01/07/kai-trump-reveals-the-secret-to-driving-liberals-up-the-wall-n4948023 Do you know what a good response is whenever someone approaches you just spewing hatred? ‘God bless you.’ Nothing angers liberals more than refusing to get emotional while choosing kindness and respect instead. They want conservatives to lose control. They crave an explosive confrontation they can use to justify the caricature of conservatives that liberal professors, media talking heads, and cultural elites have drilled into their heads. Staying calm robs them of that satisfaction. Mom |

SundiKeita:Ivory Coast was more a Christian vs Muslim thing. That's a guess, I don't know enough. Botswana is 75% Pula or whatever that tribe is called and it's stable, also helped that their transition to colonialism and democracy retained the their same Royal Family as the new ELECTED leaders. Kinda like the Sarduana of Sokoto was the ELECTED leader of Northern Nigeria. Then look at Somalia. Largely one tribe but instability is CLAN based. I'll just say it - lower IQ humans TEND to be more divisive, partly because they're unproductive and THEREFORE DESPERATE to take from others. Any kind of division becomes a JUSTIFICATION to TAKE from others. This generally low IQ and low intellect and low productivity is EXACTLY the general cause AND driving force of LIBERALISM, SOCIALISM and PROGRESSIVE politics . If you can't produce, you AGITATE to forcibly take from others. That's why Black Africans have a strong tendency to be socialist. They love to TAKE and RECEIVE without giving anything in return and justify it with racism....in the USA too...they will cite racism, sexism, patriarchy, income inequality....anything to DIVIDE and steal. Thanks for the comment. You said something VERY SIGNIFICANT. Good Luck to Nigerians. |

ono:This went down yesterday. 🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: DOJ CRIMINAL REFERRALS FILED Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have been referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for potential criminal charges in connection with Minnesota’s massive Somali-linked fraud scandal. The referral comes after sworn testimony before Congress gave Rep. Anna Paulina Luna what she says is sufficient evidence that top Minnesota officials were knowingly complicit in widespread fraud involving social service programs. ⸻ 📜 FULL DIALOGUE — CONGRESSIONAL RECORD Chairman Comer: “The chair recognizes Ms. Luna.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Thank you, Chairman Comer. Honorable Robbins, based on your record before this committee, when did Governor Walz first become aware of widespread fraud in Minnesota social service programs?” Honorable Robbins: “I would assume that he has been aware of it since he ran for office for governor in 2018.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “By 2017, DHS investigators warned that CCAP fraud could exceed 50%. Was that information elevated to the governor’s office?” Honorable Robbins: “Yes, there was an OLA report.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Thank you, ma’am. By 2020, state officials knew Feeding Our Future invoices were fraudulent. We know that payments continued with the Attorney General’s knowledge. Did they continue with the governor’s knowledge as well?” Honorable Robbins: “Yes.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Attorney General Ellison agreed on tape to fight Minnesota’s own Department of Human and Health Services in exchange for Somali political and financial support. In your personal opinion, do you believe it is possible that Governor Walz also made that personal deal, or at least knew about the Attorney General’s agreement?” Honorable Robbins: “I don’t know.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Okay. I don’t want to rehash what this committee has already spent hours covering. We know there is a massive fraud issue in Minnesota. Because of your testimony, because of the evidence presented, and because this committee—at Chairman Comer’s direction—will soon be subpoenaing Attorney General Ellison, I am making criminal referrals regarding Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison. As you know, U.S. Code §371 and U.S. Code §2 criminalize conspiracies to defraud the United States and establish liability for those who knowingly aid or abet federal offenses. That includes willful blindness or deliberate inaction where a duty to act exists. I will be referring them later today.” ⸻ 🔥 BOTTOM LINE Top Minnesota officials were warned. They knew. Payments continued anyway. Now the evidence is on record — and the DOJ has been formally asked to act. GREAT. Fire up the prosecutions. |
