Feds Shoot Suspected Gang Members in Portland, National Guard To MN, Pratt Running: AM Update 1/9
From Megyn Kelly
In Portland, federal agents engaged suspects linked to gang activity, while in Minneapolis, tensions rise following the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent. Governor Tim Walls has deployed the National Guard in response, and Vice President JD Vance announced a new DOJ position targeting fraud with nationwide jurisdiction, amidst legislative efforts to limit U.S. military action in Venezuela and reality TV star Spencer Pratt's campaign against LA Mayor Karen Bass.
Key Takeaways
- National Guard in Minneapolis: a reactive measure to prevent chaos, but does it address the root issue?
- ICE vs. Border Patrol: two different agencies, same public fear. Miscommunication fuels political fire.
- Protesters decry federal presence; yet they’re faced with the fallout of extreme gang activity. Irony abounds.
- Creating an assistant AG for fraud showcases ambition, but can it outsmart the ever-evolving schemes?
- Spencer Pratt's political move is a reminder: reality TV fame can morph into real political ambition—watch out, LA!
