Description: Federal Immigration Enforcement in Minneapolis The Trump administration has deployed approximately 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis in what is described as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever. The operation targets illegal immigrants with criminal records and alleged fraud in Somali-run daycare centers. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE are conducting raids, arresting individuals accused of serious crimes (murder, robbery, sexual assault). There is a welfare fraud scandal involving Somali communities and involving local Democratic leadership, particularly Governor Tim Walz, for alleged sanctuary policies and corruption. Media bias is highlighted, mainstream outlets are ignoring these stories. Geopolitical Developments: Venezuela and Oil Former President Trump announced that Venezuela will transfer 30–50 million barrels of oil to the U.S. at market price. The oil deal follows the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, signaling a major shift in Latin American geopolitics. This could trigger a domino effect, weakening regimes in Cuba and possibly influencing uprisings in other countries. Venezuela’s oil reserves are described as vast (valued at $17.3 trillion), positioning the U.S. for strategic energy and economic gains. Iranian protests are part of a broader movement against authoritarian regimes. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
