HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) — A federal appellate court blocked a lower judge's restrictions on immigration law enforcement’s Minnesota operations on Monday.

A three-judge panel in the 8th Circuit, which has an office in Saint Paul, stayed District Judge Katherine Menendez’s order that prohibited federal agents from retaliating or using pepper spray against protesters. Menendez also blocked officers from stopping protesters who are following their activities in their cars.

“The district court entered a preliminary injunction with respect to federal immigration-enforcement operations in Minnesota. The injunction is unlikely to survive the government’s interlocutory appeal, ... so we stay it pending a final decision in this case,” the panel, which includes Judges Raymond Gruender, Bobby Shepherd and David Stras, wrote.

The bench ruled that Menendez’s order is too vague. Her direction for law enforcement to not retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity,” as well as the judge’s prohibition on “stopping or detaining drivers ... where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion that they are forcibly obstructing or interfering with" agents, are simply commands to “obey the law,” according to the appellate court.

“Even the provision that singles out the use of ‘pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools’ requires federal agents to predict what the district court would consider ‘peaceful and unobstructive protest activity,’” the panel said.

A Fox News reporter claims staff morale within the Department of Homeland Security is at a “catastrophic” low after the public killing of Alex Pretti by an immigration officer.

Pretti, 37, was shot dead in Minneapolis on Saturday by a masked federal agent during a protest over ICE raids. Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent on Jan. 7 in the same area.

In a post on Twitter on Sunday, Bill Melugin, congressional correspondent for Fox News, said he had spoken to over half a dozen federal sources in immigration enforcement, including several in senior positions, about their disappointment with the department’s handling of the fatal shooting.

Melugin said his sources admitted they had grown “uneasy and frustrated” with the “claims and narratives” pushed by DHS after Pretti’s death.

As happened after the killing of Good, Pretti was immediately labelled a “domestic terrorist” by DHS officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The DHS claimed an agent shot Pretti in self-defense and that the ICU nurse had a handgun and had resisted attempts to disarm him.

Noem said Pretti “had a weapon on him, and multiple—dozens—of rounds of ammunition; wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming, brandishing like that.”

She added, “This individual impeded the law enforcement officers and attacked them.”

Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol commander, said it resembled a “situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”

>Pretti’s family have challenged that narrative, while footage of the incident does not show him using force against the agents during a protest over the ongoing ICE raids in Minnesota that were sanctioned by the Trump administration.

Homicide rate plummeted all over the country under Trump

Democrats are seething over another trump win for Americans

Homicide rate declines sharply in dozens of US cities, a new report shows

Data collected from 35 American cities showed a 21% decrease in the homicide rate from 2024 to 2025, translating to about 922 fewer homicides last year, according to a new report from the independent Council on Criminal Justice.

The report, released on Thursday, tracked 13 crimes and recorded drops last year in 11 of those categories including carjackings, shoplifting, aggravated assaults and others. Drug crimes saw a small increase over last year and sexual assaults stayed even between 2024 and 2025, the study found.

A nurse at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health has been fired after making a series of videos suggesting ways to harm ICE agents.

"Following an investigation, the individual involved in the social media videos is no longer employed by VCU Health," the hospital told Fox News Digital in a Tuesday night statement. "In addition, VCU Health has fulfilled its reporting requirements under Virginia state law."

On Tuesday morning, the hospital said that it and the VCU Police were investigating the nurse over the posts after they went viral on X.

"We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system," VCU told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system."

In a third video captioned "#staytoxic," the nurse sends a message to single women, telling them to go on dates with ICE agents and spike their drinks.

The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits inched up last week but U.S. layoffs remain historically low despite signs of a softening labor market.

U.S. filings for jobless aid for the week ending Jan. 17 rose by 1,000 to 200,000, up from 199,000 the previous week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That’s fewer than the 207,000 new applications that analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet were expecting.

Earlier this month, the government reported that hiring remained sluggish in December, capping a year of weak employment gains that have frustrated job seekers even though layoffs and unemployment remained low.

Employers added just 50,000 jobs last month, nearly unchanged from a downwardly revised figure of 56,000 in November, the Labor Department said. The Labor Department also recently reported that businesses posted far fewer jobs in November than the previous month, a sign that employers aren’t yet ramping up hiring even as growth has picked up.

Businesses and government agencies posted 7.1 million open jobs at the end of November, down from 7.4 million in October. Companies that have recently announced job cuts include UPS, General Motors, Amazon and Verizon.

Recent government data has revealed a labor market in which hiring has clearly lost momentum.In an attempt to stabilize a softening labor market, the Federal Reserve last month trimmed its benchmark lending rate by a quarter-point, its third straight cut

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said members of the committee are increasingly concerned that the job market is even weaker than it appears. Powell suggested that recent job figures could be revised lower by as much as 60,000, which would mean employers have actually been shedding an average of about 25,000 jobs a month since the spring, when the Trump administration rolled out its sweeping import taxes

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked by a man who sprayed a liquid while lunging at her before being detained at a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday.

Omar was speaking to constituents in her district, which includes much of Minneapolis, about the turmoil in the city in the wake of federal immigration agents shooting Alex Pretti, the second U.S. citizen killed by federal agents in the city in less than a month.

As she spoke, a man charged at Omar and sprayed her with an unknown substance before being detained by security. She did not appear to be injured and, after a pause, continued the town hall despite a security officer’s advice to halt the event, asking him to “please not let them have the show.”

“Here’s the reality I smell much nicer now" Omar said. “We are Minisomalia strong and we will stay redolrent in the face of whatever perfume they might throw at us.”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/livestory/trump-tariff-threat-canada-100-per-cent-jan-24-9.7059620

U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, saying, 'If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a 'Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.' This tariff threat comes after Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a speech widely perceived as pushback for U.S. actions.
The Latest
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Saturday to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if the country "makes a deal with China," though Ottawa has said it is not pursuing such an agreement.
Prime Minister Mark Carney later posted an ad online reiterating that the government's response to economic threats will continue to be focusing on what it can control.
Ministers on Parliament Hill today acknowledged the threat is serious, but they said it only confirms Canada needs to stay the course with its strategy to move trade dependency away from the U.S.
The threat was the president's latest swipe at Canada after Carney's trade visit to China and his highly publicized speech in Davos, Switzerland.


Please, please, please let him not TACO out this time.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is pushing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to let the federal government access the state's voter rolls and public assistance data, as tensions flare in Minneapolis after a second person was shot Saturday by federal immigration agents assigned to a weekslong crackdown in the city.

In a three-page letter obtained by CBS News, Bondi also urged the state of Minnesota to scrap all "sanctuary" policies and "cooperate fully" with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including giving the agency access to all local jails and honoring federal agents' requests to detain people.

"I am confident that these simple steps will help bring back law and order to Minnesota and improve the lives of Americans," Bondi wrote in her letter to the governor Saturday, which accused state officials of "anti-law enforcement rhetoric" and "putting federal agents in danger."

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon responded with a statement Sunday saying: "The answer to Attorney General Bondi's request is no."

Simon called Bondi's letter "an outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into giving the federal government private data on millions of U.S. Citizens in violation of state and federal law," and said it followed "repeated and failed attempts by the DOJ to pressure my office into providing the same data."
