Tim Walz Prepares To Sue The Trump Admin With The United Nations?

 Woke Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said his state is working with the American Civil Liberties Union, pro-immigrant groups and contacts at the United Nations as it pursues a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration over a sweeping federal immigration crackdown known as Operation Metro Surge.

The state of Minnesota, along with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed suit in federal court in January alleging that the deployment of thousands of immigration agents to the Twin Cities amounts to an unconstitutional “federal invasion” and political retaliation for the state’s sanctuary-style policies.

The so called complaint argues that Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers have carried out militarized raids, racially profiled Somali and Latino residents, and even detained U.S. citizens and legal visa holders without probable cause or warrants.

Leftist State Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is leading the case for Minnesota, told reporters at the lawsuit announcement that “this has to stop; it just has to stop,” calling the federal operation a grave threat to Minnesotans’ constitutional rights.

In parallel, the ACLU and ACLU of Minnesota have brought their own lawsuit alleging that ICE and CBP’s tactics under Operation Metro Surge are “illegal and morally reprehensible,” saying agents have “swept up Minnesotans through racial profiling and unlawful arrests.”

Walz has welcomed the ACLU’s actions and told the cable outlet MSNow that “we being the ACLU, a lot of groups, especially immigrant groups, folks at the United Nations and in Geneva are working” to document abuses and support Minnesota’s legal challenge, adding that such conduct would draw international investigation if it occurred in another country.

In court, lawyers for Minnesota and the Twin Cities have asked for an emergency order halting or sharply limiting Operation Metro Surge, arguing that the surge of roughly 3,000 federal agents has terrified communities, interfered with local public safety efforts and coerced officials to abandon their own immigration policies.

Prosecutors for the state have told a federal judge that the crackdown is an “unlawful and unchecked invasion” that undermines the Tenth Amendment’s protection of state sovereignty and violates federal administrative law because similar enforcement is not being carried out elsewhere.

The Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security officials have rejected the lawsuits as baseless, insisting the operations are necessary to combat fraud and crime, even as riots grew in Minnesota and legal battles over the future of the crackdown move forward.

WATCH: Fox News Host Abby Hornacek Gets Suplexed Live on Fox & Friends by Wrestling Champ, ‘Felt Like Being Thrown Off a Skyscraper!’

 A woman in a neon green shirt is being tossed during a wrestling event, with spectators visible in the background.

Fox News host Abby Hornacek got a lesson in professional wrestling on Saturday morning when RAF Middleweight champion Kennedy Blades slammed her to the mat with a suplex during a live segment on Fox & Friends Weekend.

The body slam happened while Hornacek was interviewing Blades to promote RAF Wrestling’s upcoming big event on Fox Nation.

After a brief chat, Blades offered to demonstrate her signature move.

Hornacek, clearly nervous, agreed.

“Let’s suplex… I’m so nervous… Let’s try this,” Hornacek said, just before Blades grabbed her around the hips, twisted, lifted her high into the air, and drove her down onto the studio mat.

The mic pack on Hornacek’s back didn’t survive, but the host popped right back up, laughing and high-fiving Blades.

“Ohhh! Amazing. I don’t think I can be a wrestler,” Hornacek said, taking the suplex like a champ.

Hornacek added, “Alright, the mic pack did not survive, but I did, luckily… I know that looked worse than it was, but it was a lot of fun. I think I’m going to stay off the mat from now on. But Kennedy here, I gotta say — that felt like being thrown off a skyscraper.”

WATCH:

When co-host Griff Jenkins asked if she was okay, Hornacek replied, “I feel great. I feel like a million bucks.”

Co-host Charlie Hurt called it possibly “the greatest promo” he’d ever seen.

Fulton County Election Investigation Update: Evidentiary Hearing Yesterday on Motion to Claw Back FBI-Seized Evidence

In January, the FBI executed a search warrant on the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center and seized over 650 boxes of election materials from the 2020 election.  The warrant was approved by a federal magistrate judge and based primarily on evidence from two Georgia State Election Board complaints.    

The three petitioners, Fulton County, the Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections, and the Board of Commissioners, in their official capacities, have petitioned the court to claw back those documents from the FBI and Department of Justice, claiming they were seized unlawfully and that this seizure violated the First and Fourth Amendment rights of the petitioners.

Initially, the probable cause affidavit was challenged under Rule 41g, a motion to return property obtained through an unlawful search and seizure.  A federal judge ordered mediation between the two parties, which failed last week.  An evidentiary hearing was then ordered.

Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge J.P. Boulee of the Northern District of Georgia heard from two witnesses offered by the petitioners:  Fulton County Clerk of the Superior Court Che Alexander and the Elections Group's Ryan Macias.

In order for Fulton County to retain the records from the Department of Justice, they are required to meet a four-part substantive test.  According to VoterGA's Garland Favorito on X, those questions are:

  1.  Did the government display a "callous disregard"  for the plaintiff's constitutional rights?
  2. Did the plaintiff have an individual interest in and need for the material?
  3. Will the plaintiff be irreparably injured by denial of the return of the property?
  4. Does the plaintiff have an adequate remedy at law for the redress of their grievance?

 

Favorito and his wife Tamara, who are intimately involved in the election investigation and several cases in the State of Georgia, were in attendance for the hours-long hearing yesterday.

According to Favorito, they spent "all day" on question #1, "callous disregard", of the substantive test.  "There's no conceivable way that you could reach a conclusion that there was callous disregard for the plaintiff's right because the [office of the] Clerk has no constitutional rights, number one, and the DOJ adhered to the normal procedures for getting the search warrant," Favorito stated.

"Today, we spent five hours asking the question whether or not the FBI displayed a 'callous disregard'.  They had the affidavit which has five different areas, any one of which would have justified probable cause.  So if four of them were wrong, they would still have probable cause," he continued.

Question #2, "Did the plaintiff have an individual interest and need for the material", was argued that it fails because in June 2024, Elections Director Nadine Williams had previously requested to the court, in a case brought by Favorito, that the ballots be destroyed, thus negating any "interest of need for the material."

A video was played during the hearing where this request was made before a Georgia court.  So is the petition about retaining something with "an individual interest and need for the material" or is it about destroying evidence that could support the claims made in the probable cause affidavit?

Petitioners argued it was because they didn't have room for the election material, however, Favorito pointed out that the request was made three weeks after they purchased a $30 million, 660,000-square-foot warehouse for elections.

The argument regarding question #3, "Will the plaintiff be irreparably injured by denial of the return of the property?", is laughable.

"They actually tried to say that they would [be irreparably injured] for a reason that was just so unbelievable because they said well, now with all of this exposure, there's all these open records requests and we have to have the original records in order to fulfill those open records requests," Tamara Favorito said.  "I just wanted to stand up and scream, 'You've got to be kidding me!...Now they want to fill the open records requests!"

Ryan Macias, who worked for the non-governmental organizations The Elections Group at the time, also testified.  Favorito said that during the hearing, it came up that Macias was paid $400 per hour for 50-plus hours worth of work and was involved in the elections process in Fulton County.  "By default, being conflicted, that should have been enough to boot his testimony right out of there," Favorito stated.

In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that Joseph Rossi, who is party to an amicus brief submitted in this case, testified before the Georgia State Election Board last January that The Elections Group was party to an email in which Fulton County acknowledged that it was aware of a discrepancy in the audit-turned-hand-count in November 2020.

This discrepancy was eventually discovered by Rossi and confirmed by Governor Brian Kemp.  It became the subject of SEB Complaint 2021-181 and part of the probable cause affidavit in the warrant obtained by the FBI. 

Leftist Bob Costas Admits Men Have No Business in Women’s Sports: ‘Common Sense Is Not Transphobic’

 While affirming his leftist perspective on the world, sportscaster Bob Costas said that action by the International Olympic Committee to ban men from women’s events is simply common sense.

The IOC acted Thursday to ban men from women’s sports, beginning with the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

“As a former athlete, I passionately believe in the rights of all Olympians to take part in fair competition,” IOC president Kristy Coventry, a former gold medal Olympian, said in a statement posted on the IOC website, adding, “At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat.”

“So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. In addition, in some sports it would simply not be safe,” she said.

In a video posted to X, Costas took a stand in favor of transgender individuals, but also supported a ban on men facing women in sports.

“Give me enough time to address this, so I’m not misunderstood. There are people who use this issue cynically, for political purposes, and they’re demonizing people who happen to be trans, who should be treated with respect and dignity and understanding,” he said.

Liberal chops established, he went on to add: “However, common sense is not transphobic.”

“There’s a reason why the high school champions don’t compete with the college champions. There is a reason why no trans man, who was once a woman, and has become a man, has ever competed successfully with men in the Olympics,” he said.

“There is a reason why there are men’s and women’s sports, and why Title IX was one of the truly progressive pieces of legislation in the best sense of the word,” he said. Title IX is the federal legislation that requires women to have equal opportunity in education and was the foundation for the growth of women’s sports at the high school and college levels.

Costas referenced the fiasco of Lia Thomas, a man who was allowed to swim against women, winning races, breaking records, and snaring awards, saying “it doesn’t make any sense” to have allowed him to compete.

“If that’s what the person wants to do, that person should be treated with dignity and respect,” Costas said, “but there ought to be common sense, and common sense is not transphobic.”

The IOC policy change was cheered by many.

“An organization is finally standing up to say that women matter — their hopes and dreams, their ability to push themselves and pursue excellence on a safe and level playing field — it matters. Now is the time for the NCAA to stand up and say the same,” Kaylie Ray, an NCAA volleyball player, said, according to the New York Post.

“For the young women who work endlessly to reach the Olympic level, their protection matters too. For the girls who strive to compete at the collegiate level, their opportunities cannot be taken by men anymore,” Ray said.

Kim Jones, who had two daughters and one son swim for Yale, said that during the Lia Thomas era, the college kowtowed to transgender athletes at the expense of everyone else, according to Fox News, saying the athletic department “felt like North Korea,”

“They terrorized the girls … they pulled them into mandatory meetings. They intimidated, coerced, threatened, and emotionally blackmailed them,” Jones said.

“They were told that they were going to be, that they were to be held accountable for any harm that came to folks in their communities that identified as transgender,” she said.
