Trump border czar leaves door open to ICE deployment in other sanctuary cities as feds leave Minneapolis

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Tom Homan, the border czar appointed by President Donald Trump to crack down on illegal immigration, believes the administration may still deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in other sanctuary cities as federal agents wind down their presence in Minnesota.
Homan said he thinks that possibility depends entirely on whether cities with policies shielding illegal immigrants decide to cooperate with federal immigration efforts.
«I think it depends on the situation,» Homan said in an interview with CBS on Sunday. «I’ve said from day one that, you know, we need to flood the zone and sanctuary cities with additional agents. The number of agents depends on the situation on the ground [and] how many known criminal targets are out there.»

Homan’s comments come as the administration looks to redirect its immigration enforcement goals while, at the same time, taking its focus off of Minneapolis by ending Operation Metro Surge.
Several cities voiced opposition to Trump’s immigration crackdown from the outset of his second term, making it an official position of obstructing the administration’s work.
In some cases, cities limited their partnerships with ICE by denying them access to holding facilities, refusing to share intelligence, or instructing local law enforcement to disregard their operations.
Minneapolis was one of them.
But the Twin Cities began to draw special attention from Trump and Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem last year when links surfaced between the state’s Somali immigrant community and as much as $9 billion in state benefits fraud.
In response, the administration began deploying a heavy ICE presence to Minneapolis as part of Operation Metro Surge and framed it as a way to push back on illegal alien criminals in the city. In its first press release on the operation, DHS revealed that ICE had arrested five Somalis and six Hispanic aliens with criminal backgrounds.
«Today, ICE announced they have arrested some of the worst criminal illegal aliens, including child sex offenders, domestic abusers and violent gang members during Operation Metro Surge,» DHS said in a statement on Dec. 4.

ICE’s presence in Minneapolis soon became a lightning rod for Trump’s crackdown on immigration, sparking widespread protests and alarm from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
In particular, Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee alongside Kamala Harris, blasted what he saw as a lack of communication with local authorities and use of excessive force.
«The forcefulness, lack of communication and unlawful practices displayed by your agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota,» Walz said in a letter to Noem in December.
Operation Metro Surge ended last week in the wake of two deadly confrontations between immigration enforcement and civilians that brought renewed scrutiny on DHS and also derailed congressional considerations for the agency’s 2026 funding, thrusting it into a partial shutdown on Friday.
Despite the administration’s tensions in Minnesota, Homan believes officials in sanctuary cities can avoid future clashes by steering clear of repeating Minneapolis’ policies.

«I’m hoping other sanctuary cities look at what happened in Minnesota,» Homan said.
He believes there’s still room for agreement even amid heightened criticisms of ICE.

«A lot of politicians are out there on the left [are] saying ‘OK, ICE, we agree. You should be focusing on public safety threats. You should focus on illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes in this country,’»
Homan did not describe what cities might be a focus for future ICE operations.

Murió Jesse Jackson, sucesor de Martin Luther King e histórico defensor de los derechos civiles en EE.UU.

Jesse Jackson, el histórico activista por los derechos civiles y referente de la comunidad afroamericana en Estados Unidos, murió este martes a los 84 años.
Su vida estuvo marcada por la lucha incansable contra la discriminación y por haber sido uno de los primeros en llevar la voz de los afroestadounidenses a la política nacional, abriendo el camino para que, décadas después, Barack Obama llegara a la Casa Blanca.

La noticia de su muerte fue confirmada por su familia, que lo despidió con un mensaje emotivo a través de las redes sociales.
“Su inquebrantable fe en la justicia, la igualdad y el amor inspiró a millones de personas”, señalaron sus familiares.
En el comunicado, sus hijos lo definieron como “un líder servicial, no solo para nuestra familia, sino para los oprimidos, los que no tienen voz y los ignorados de todo el mundo”.
“Lo compartimos con el mundo y, a cambio, el mundo se convirtió en parte de nuestra familia extendida”, dijeron. El comunicado de la familia de Jesse Jackson tras su muerte. (Foto: Instagram/@revjjackson).
Un pastor en la primera línea de la historia
Jackson nació el 8 de octubre de 1941 en Greenville, Carolina del Sur, en un país atravesado por la segregación racial. Creció en la pobreza y enfrentó desde chico las barreras del racismo.
“No nací con una cuchara de plata en la boca. Es una pala lo que estaba previsto para mis manos”, recordó alguna vez sobre sus orígenes humildes.
A pesar de las dificultades, fue un alumno brillante y consiguió una beca como jugador de fútbol americano para ingresar a la universidad.

En 1960, participó en su primera sentada contra la discriminación y, cinco años más tarde, se sumó a la histórica marcha entre Selma y Montgomery por los derechos civiles.
Jackson fue un compañero cercano de Martin Luther King en los años sesenta y estuvo junto a él en Memphis en 1968, el día del asesinato del líder. Su figura se consolidó como orador y pastor bautista, siempre en la primera línea de las luchas por la igualdad.
De las calles a la política: el salto a la campaña presidencial
En los setenta y ochenta, Jackson fundó organizaciones clave como PUSH (Gente Unida para Salvar la Humanidad) y la Coalición Nacional Arcoíris, que luego unió en 1996, siempre con el objetivo de promover la igualdad y la justicia social.
Pero fue con sus campañas presidenciales cuando su nombre se hizo conocido en todo el país. En 1984, se convirtió en el primer afroestadounidense en llegar tan lejos en una interna demócrata, quedando tercero en las primarias.
Cuatro años después, volvió a intentarlo y quedó detrás de Michael Dukakis, el candidato que finalmente perdió las elecciones.

En la convención demócrata de 1984, Jackson dejó una frase que marcó su carrera: “Mis electores son los desesperados, los condenados, los desheredados, los ignorados, los despreciados”.
Desde el escenario, llamó a los estadounidenses a unirse en una “base común” y criticó con dureza las políticas económicas de Ronald Reagan y las inequidades en el sistema de salud. Jesse Jackson durante un acro en Tallahassee, Florida, en el año 2000. (Foto: AFP/Tim Sloan).
Un legado de lucha y polémicas
Jackson estuvo presente en algunos de los momentos más emblemáticos de la historia reciente de Estados Unidos.
Se lo vio llorando en silencio entre la multitud que celebró la victoria de Barack Obama en 2008 y acompañó a la familia de George Floyd en 2021, tras el veredicto que condenó al policía Derek Chauvin.
A lo largo de su carrera, también enfrentó controversias. Durante la campaña de 1984, usó un término antisemita en Nueva York y debió pedir disculpas. Jesse Jackson, emocionado, tras la victoria de Barack Obama, primer presidente afroamericano de Estados Unidos. (Foto: AFP/Stan Honda).
Más adelante, fue criticado por su encuentro con Hugo Chávez en 2005 y por asistir a su funeral en 2013.
Además de su activismo, Jackson se destacó como mediador internacional: abogó por el fin del apartheid en Sudáfrica, fue emisario especial para África durante la presidencia de Bill Clinton y participó en negociaciones para liberar rehenes estadounidenses en Siria, Irak y Serbia.

El adiós a un símbolo de la igualdad
En 2017, Jackson anunció que padecía Parkinson y redujo su actividad pública. Sin embargo, en abril de 2021, volvió a estar en el centro de la escena al acompañar a la familia de George Floyd en Mineápolis y declarar: “La lucha por la igualdad es un largo combate en este país”.

House Dem’s graphic chicken decapitation ‘horrified’ her college roommates: ‘Blood went everywhere’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: College roommates of Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., who is now 37-years-old, said they were «horrified» after the now-Democrat member of Congress up for reelection this year allegedly «serrated» a chicken’s head off with «a dull kitchen knife» while they lived together.
The incident allegedly stemmed from the vulnerable Democratic congresswoman and her roommates engaging in the practice of «urban farming,» a practice that is quite popular in Portland, where they went to a small private school called Reed College.
Gluesenkamp Perez’s former roommate and others connected to her from their time at Reed College, recounted the incident when they were all trying to research ways to humanely kill the chicken, but Glusenkamp Perez allegedly thought everyone was being «f—ing pu–ies,» so she «grabbed» the chicken and began «grinding [the chicken] down with a dull knife» leading the animal to begin «gasping for air with no lungs to suck it in.»
«Then she held up the body as it spazzed out and blood went everywhere like some crazy Santeria voodoo ritual,» recalled her former roommate, Isaac Eger, while attending Reed, who also wrote about his house’s «epic fail» at urban farming back in 2014.

Eger, who hosts the podcast that brought together folks from Gluesenkamp Perez’s past for an episode a few weeks ago, refused to speak with Fox News Digital or provide any comments on, or to clarify events from, his time living with the Washington State congresswoman. He did imply to Fox News Digital that his podcast is a joke, and said that if he had to clarify any part of it, that would extinguish the comedic value.
«Marie bravely was like, ‘Ill dispatch of this chicken,’» Eger recounted on the podcast episode subscribers must pay to listen to titled «Absolutely Sweet Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.»
«Dude, I will never forget, like, frantically YouTubing how to humanely kill a chicken and Marie was just like, ‘You f—ing pussies, like, you’re on YouTube?’ It was, like, you and I on a computer, like, trying to figure this out and she just grabbed it and started swinging it around,» added Sam.
«That’s not at all what happened,» Eger interjected. «She didn’t just ‘chop it.’ She took a dull kitchen knife and tried to serrate[ly] cut … she was grinding this thing down with a dull knife and I remember you were horrified. It was really bad. And we saw, like, the chicken’s, like, decapitated head just, like, gasping for air with no lungs to suck it in, and then she held up the body as it spazzed out and blood went everywhere like some crazy Santeria voodoo ritual.»
While Sam contested the serrating, he affirmed the knife was quite dull and said «for sure» after Eger began to describe the scene of the chicken’s blood spurting everywhere.
«For sure, for sure. Everyone knows that you can run around like a chicken with your head cut off, but what that saying leaves out is what happens to the head without the body and it’s, like, also still completely functioning for a second,» Sam continued as Eger laughed.

Eger went on to point out what he felt the incident symbolized, particularly as it related to his old college roommate’s time as an elected member of U.S. Congress.
He said that while part of him «respected» Gluesenkamp Perez «for her bravery» and her pro-activeness in killing the chicken, he also chided the inhumane nature in which she killed the chicken and said it represented the large amount of «hubris» the now-congresswoman had even as a college student at a small private liberal arts school.

«I think Marie is a very proud and she’s an incredibly stubborn person who I think has unbelievable confidence in herself,» Eger said during the podcast episode, which was entirely focused around the congresswoman and their history with her in college.
«I think [that] is what it takes to become a f—ing congressperson,» Eger said.
«I think we are finding a thread here, yeah,» added Sam. «I think also, like, being like, ‘F–k the consequences. I’m just going to go, like, being head– being headstrong.’ And just, like, ‘I’m going to take care of this. Like, and this might be a really bad idea, but here I am. It’s already done. It’s already happening.»
During the Jan. 29 podcast episode, Eger, Boguslaw, who also declined to speak to Fox News Digital, and Sam also recounted their time living with Gluesenkamp Perez and her bunny she brought with her at the time named «Meatball.» According to the crews of former Reed College students, Gluesenkamp Perez would breed Meatball and then eat its kids.

«A friend of mine said that when he came back to the house once, she started a rabbit-eating cult,» Eger said during the podcast. He and Boguslaw recalled how «absent-minded» Gluesenkamp Perez was when it came to their «urban farming venture,» describing how they would often have to take care of her animals for her less they would perish.
«Did you go with her to breed her rabbit and we watched them, like, smash the rabbit against the wall?» Eger asked Sam during the podcast episode.
«Meatball? Hell yeah,» Sam responded.

Eger also took shots at the congresswoman he used to room with, describing her as a carpetbagger and accusing her of «cosplaying as a poor person» during college and still today even though he believed she was likely having college paid for by her parents, arguing she could not have been eligible for financial aid.
«Her parents are wealthy. Because if you can afford – and she’s one of four kids – if you can afford to pay for a $40,000 a year college, so that doesn’t include like the other, like at least $10,000 dollars a year in living expenses, you’re wealthy,» Eger argued during his podcast. «That means she wouldn’t have qualified for financial aid. Now, what she says in order – this is part of her lore, she’s definitely cosplaying as a poor person.»
«Which never happened at Reed. As far as I’m concerned,» Boguslaw said back sarcastically with a laugh.
Eger also charged Gluesenkamp Perez with lying about being a fifth generation Washingtonian during his 2-hour-long podcast episode, alleging she is actually originally from Houston.
«She grew up in Houston, Texas. Her father was Mexican, born in Mexico, where her mother, who is from Washington, met him,» Eger said. «She brought him over the border, and then Marie’s kind of an anchor baby.»

Luego de bombardear Ucrania con 400 drones, Rusia dijo que no espera avances rápidos en el diálogo de Ginebra

El Kremlin advirtió el martes que no espera resultados el primer día de las conversaciones de paz en Ginebra, horas después de que Rusia lanzara casi 400 drones y 29 misiles contra Ucrania en un ataque que dejó al menos tres muertos, nueve heridos y a decenas de miles de personas sin calefacción ni agua.
“No creo que debamos esperar noticias hoy, ya que está previsto que los trabajos continúen mañana”, declaró el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, en rueda de prensa, descartando cualquier anuncio relevante para la jornada.
El bombardeo nocturno apuntó al sistema energético ucraniano en 12 regiones. Tres trabajadores energéticos murieron cerca de la ciudad industrial de Sloviansk cuando un dron ruso atacó el vehículo en que se transportaban. En Odesa, ciudad portuaria del sur, decenas de miles de residentes quedaron sin calefacción ni agua potable.
“Fue un ataque combinado, calculado deliberadamente para causar el mayor daño posible a nuestro sector energético”, escribió el presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelensky en redes sociales.
Las defensas aéreas ucranianas lograron derribar 24 de los 25 misiles de crucero y 367 de los aproximadamente 396 drones lanzados, según la Fuerza Aérea de Ucrania. Los cuatro misiles balísticos Iskander-M no pudieron ser interceptados.
Pese al ataque, las delegaciones de Moscú y Kiev llegaron a Ginebra para la tercera ronda de negociaciones tripartitas mediadas por Estados Unidos, que se extenderá durante dos días. El enviado del presidente Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff, y el yerno presidencial Jared Kushner participarán en los encuentros, junto al general Alexus Grynkewich, comandante de las fuerzas estadounidenses y de la OTAN en Europa.
Las expectativas de avance, sin embargo, son bajas. Según una persona familiarizada con las negociaciones que habló con AP bajo condición de anonimato, se esperan discusiones “duras” sobre el territorio ucraniano ocupado por Rusia, dado que Moscú insiste en que Kiev ceda el control del Donbas. Los jefes militares de los tres países también discutirán cómo funcionaría el monitoreo de un eventual cese del fuego.

Las conversaciones de Ginebra son la tercera ronda de un proceso que comenzó en Abu Dabi el 23 de enero y tuvo su segunda sesión en esa misma ciudad el 4 y 5 de febrero.
Trump describió la reunión como “grandes conversaciones” y, al regresar a Washington desde Florida el lunes por la noche, advirtió: “Ucrania mejor que venga a la mesa rápido”. No quedó claro de inmediato a qué se refería, dado que Kiev ha participado activamente en todas las rondas de negociación y ha aceptado las propuestas estadounidenses, incluida la de un cese del fuego incondicional y de largo plazo.
Zelensky señaló que el bombardeo ruso complica precisamente esos esfuerzos diplomáticos. “Cuanto más mal venga de Rusia, más difícil será para todos llegar a acuerdos con ellos. Los socios deben entender esto. En primer lugar, esto concierne a Estados Unidos”, escribió.
El mandatario exigió además que Rusia sea “responsabilizada” por sus ataques contra la población civil y reclamó sanciones y apoyo militar inmediato. “Nuestra diplomacia será más eficaz si hay justicia y fortaleza”, afirmó.
Las conversaciones celebradas a principios de este año en Abu Dabi se centraron en cuestiones como la forma de establecer una zona desmilitarizada en las zonas en disputa y cómo las fuerzas armadas de todas las partes podrían mantenerse en contacto, según la fuente.
Las conversaciones de Ginebra tuvieron lugar mientras funcionarios estadounidenses también mantenían conversaciones indirectas con Irán en la ciudad suiza.
