Email from American Values Plus, Trump responds.   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Monday, January 26, 2026 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Day 371  It’s Day 371 of President Trump’s second term. No one has lost their Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits in spite of constant media and leftist lies. Another Victim Of The Left There was another tragic incident in Minneapolis over the weekend. Our heart goes out to all involved. Now, we’re going to have another round of media pontificating, finger-pointing at the president, and attacks on law enforcement. It’s really important that we remind everyone we can of why these events are happening. We are at this moment because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the entire Democrat Party, and their globalist allies erased our borders and allowed 10, 12, 15, 18, or 20 million people to walk into the United States. Nobody knows the number, which in itself is an indictment of what the Democrats did to us. All through those four years, children were separated from their parents, Americans were killed, raped, and robbed, and schools were overwhelmed. Unheard of gangs suddenly popped up all over America because Biden imported them. Foreign enemies and terrorists entered the United States. Taxpayers were fleeced and continue to be fleeced. And that brings us to why Donald Trump promised the country that he would reestablish and secure our borders—because without borders you’re not a nation—and get the people who came in illegally out of our country. But there is resistance from the Democrat Party to reversing even one iota of the disaster they imposed on us. In many jurisdictions around the country, there is some level of cooperation between state and local authorities and federal immigration police. You’re not seeing violence there. What is happening in Minneapolis is a level of rebellion, stoked by elected officials who are supposed to be enforcing the law, that has not been seen since the Civil War. The elected officials of Minnesota cities and the state are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the anarchists, nihilists, and rioters in their streets. (See below.) From the very beginning, Gov. Tim Walz said, “Do not send federal immigration police into Minnesota and Minneapolis/St. Paul.” He demanded that the laws of the United States not be enforced in his state! The police in Minneapolis have been ordered to stand down day after day. The attorney general of the state of Minnesota, when he’s not busy defending Somali fraudsters, is attacking federal law enforcement in his state. They can’t and won’t even protect the churches of Minneapolis/St. Paul. And when a church invasion takes place, the attorney general of Minnesota says he doesn’t think any laws were broken because it’s “freedom of speech.” Now, Democrats in Washington, D.C., are demanding that we defund federal immigration police or they will shut down the entire federal government—again. But the tragedies happening on the streets of Minneapolis are happening because of their radical open borders ideology. Deadly Rhetoric Just three days before Saturday’s tragic incident, Mayor Jacob Frey was asked about federal immigration enforcement in his city. He said: “In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with [federal immigration police] or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.” So, Mayor Frey thinks there is a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal law enforcement. That’s insane, not to mention illegal in many cases. Just imagine the reaction if any elected Republican said there was a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal environmental laws, federal gun laws, or federal tax laws. Worse, Frey’s “moral imperative” is making his city unsafe! Because police won’t assist in crowd control, leftist revolutionaries feel free to confront and obstruct federal immigration police, leading to these unnecessary tragedies. Not to be outdone, Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes claimed that federal immigration police are not “real law enforcement.” She also seemingly encouraged Arizona residents to shoot federal immigration police under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. That’s beyond irresponsible! It’s disgusting and it’s reprehensible! That kind of rhetoric will get people killed. There are calls for Mayes to resign. Good luck with that. Radical leftists never resign when they get in trouble. Just ponder that sentence for a while. In Virginia, we just swore in a Democrat attorney general who fantasized about the murders of his political opponents’ children. This is the alternative to the Republican Party, and this is who they elect as top law enforcement officials. Is there any doubt that our civil liberties will be in jeopardy if they get power again? The Left’s Insurrection There is no doubt that what is taking place in Minneapolis right now is a well-organized insurrection. Left-wing revolutionaries have created a sophisticated network to obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws. City officials, elected members of the state legislature, and members of the media are part of this network. These revolutionaries have divided the city into districts, and they work in shifts as dispatchers, mobile patrols, stationary patrols, foot patrols, license plate checkers, and group messengers to spread digital and social media alerts. And they are raising money. All with the purpose of obstructing federal immigration enforcement. We are told these are just spontaneous protests. That’s a lie. It is an orchestrated conspiracy against the federal government. By the way, Saturday’s incident reportedly took place outside a building that is a hotspot of Somali fraud schemes. And Gov. Walz finally took decisive action by calling out the National Guard—to deliver donuts and coffee to the leftist rioters. Trump Responds President Trump announced this morning that he is sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to lead immigration enforcement efforts. Homan will report directly to the president. The president noted, as I did above, that five Republican states that are cooperating with federal immigration police have deported more than 150,000 illegal aliens in the past year—without riots or violence. Yet again, President Trump called on Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey to fully cooperate with federal law enforcement authorities so they can remove criminal illegal aliens from our country. He also called on Congress to pass legislation banning sanctuary city policies. Resist Indoctrination I received a message from an irate woman who was angry about the treatment of a young child when the child’s illegal alien father was arrested. Her complaint was couched in Christian empathy. First, she had the facts wrong. Second, just think of the level of indoctrination that this individual has been subjected to whether she recognizes it or not. The Biden administration lost track of 350,000 migrant children who crossed our border. They turned these vulnerable children over to individuals they knew nothing about. The Trump administration has rescued more than 129,000 of them, often from the clutches of human traffickers, pedophiles, and other cruel individuals who forced the children into illegal labor. The Biden/Harris administration had one interest—and it wasn’t those children. It was to make America think it wasn’t happening. So, with great fanfare, the Biden White House announced it would set up a special 800 number for people to call if they suspected a child was the victim of human trafficking. “If you have any concerns about a child’s welfare and have some evidence, call this number, and we will investigate every report we get.” The media hailed this “compassionate response” by the Biden administration. And the calls poured in. Anytime the question of human trafficking came up, Biden officials pointed to this 800 number. Then, they lost the election, and we discovered that the whole thing was a sham. No one from the Biden administration ever followed up on those messages. It was as much a sham as Biden shuffling out to say, “The border is secure.” Just imagine if any level of government set up a fake 911 number. “Call this emergency number if you think a child is in trouble.” The level of public outrage would be off the charts—and justifiably so. That’s essentially what the Biden administration did. They set up this “special number” knowing they would never do anything. Chuck Schumer, Tim Walz, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and every major media outlet all know these facts. But they downplay these facts because they are all part of the Marxist globalist gang that is trying to get rid of the America we know and love, just like they are trying to get rid of Israel with an avalanche of propaganda. Resist Propaganda Here’s another mental exercise. What happens when a U.S. citizen is arrested for criminal activity and that criminal happens to have a child? The criminal is taken to jail, and the child is left with a known relative or is taken to Child Protective Services. This is terrible, but it is what happens when a parent is a criminal. When an illegal alien is arrested and has a child, there are a couple of options. The child can stay with a spouse if there is one. The child can be put into family services. Or the child can be detained with the alien parent as they are deported from the country. When that happens, the child and the illegal alien are both taken away, and the media and the Left scream, “Trump arrested a five-year-old child! This is not America!” When the child is taken to Child Protective Services or left with a relative, they scream, “Trump separated a little child from his father!” Do you see what they are doing to the country? They are using toxic empathy to make it impossible to enforce the laws of our country. And they are hoping this rhetoric will particularly confuse followers of Jesus Christ and make their knees buckle. Don’t fall for it.
