During a Fox News interview, Vice President JD Vance hints at major announcements likely from the Trump administration in the next few days.

At 7:49 of video: “I believe Jesse, we are going to have some significant announcements on this stuff in the next couple of days.

We are going to get to the root of it, and anybody who is involved is going to get prosecuted.”   WATCH:

Posted originally on CTH on January 7, 2026 | Sundance 

On Wednesday, a confrontation between ICE agents and an aggressive anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis resulted in the ICE officer defending himself while a vehicle was weaponized against him.  The female driver named Renee Nicole Macklin Good (37) was shot and killed.

Antifa aligned activists have been chasing and trying to disrupt immigration enforcement operations throughout the Minneapolis area.  Leftist Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Walz are using the ICE shooting to stir up anxiety and take attention away from the rampant fraud recently outlined in the state.

DHS secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference to address the shooting.

Tip of Iceberg – HHS Suspends all Childcare Payments to State of Minnesota Pending Investigative Review


Posted originally on CTH on December 31, 2025 | Sundance 

The federal dept of Health and Human Services has announced the suspension of all childcare service payments to the state of Minnesota, pending investigative review and compliance audits.

The announcement follows several grassroots reports showing extensive fraud and corruption stemming mostly from the Somali immigrant community.  Several taxpayer-funded assistance programs have been exploited. From daycares to nonprofits, immigrant communities in Minnesota now face multiple accusations of fraud, where they allegedly used state policies to take what some estimate to be about $9 billion in taxpayer dollars.

There are numerous indications the Minnesota fraud is only the tip of the iceberg.  Several states with large migrant population are also suspected of similar activity.  The Dept of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation and HHS are now doing compliance audits to determine the scale and scope of the overall theft.

(VIA FOX NEWS) – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will freeze all child care payments to Minnesota, the agency said Tuesday, amid the scrutiny surrounding alleged fraud involving child daycare centers across the state.

“You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade,” HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill wrote on X. 

In a video message, O’Neill cited the viral video released last week by independent journalist Nick Shirley that highlighted alleged fraud involving Minnesota childcare and learning centers. 

[…]  In an effort to combat fraud, O’Neill said he ordered that all Administration for Children and Families payments made across the country require justification and receipt or photo evidence before money is sent to a particular state. 

Secondly, the agency is demanding that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz hand over a comprehensive audit of the centers featured in Shirley’s video, including attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations and inspections. (read more)

FBI Director Promises Surge of Investigative Resources Following Minnesota Fraud Revelations


Posted originally on CTH on December 29, 2025 | Sundance

Following a viral investigative report by independent journalist Nick Shirley on the Somali community fraud in Minneapolis, Minnesota, FBI Director Kash Patel announces a surge in FBI resources to the region to follow-up.

VIA Kash Patel – “The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.

To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network.

The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy.

These criminals didn’t just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases.

The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing.

Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.” (read more)

Generally speaking, the FBI doesn’t usually activate unless the issue at hand begins to become a risk or threat to Washington DC.  The FBI usually acts as a proactive defense mechanism for the interests of federal government.

Citizen Journalist Exposes Scale of Somali Fraud in Minnesota


Posted originally on CTH on December 26, 2025 | Sundance 

The number of mainstream news outlets who are doing investigative journalism on the ground in Minnesota to uncover the scale and scope of the Somali fraud rings are zero.  However, one citizen journalist named Nick Shirley has put some extensive time into actually visiting the childcare centers at the heart of the scandal and his report is stunning.

In this 40-minute video, Shirley takes the time to search govt databases for grants, then goes and visits the actual businesses. Shirley confronts the fraudsters directly and has likely just put a big target on his back. WATCH:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says if Deportation Operations Continue Minnesota Residents Will Start Killing ICE Agents


Posted originally on CTH on December 26, 2025 | Sundance

Newsguard will note for their information filtering system, that Mayor Jacob Frey did not directly say residents of the region will start killing ICE agents.  However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed.  The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘?

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have built the illegal alien powder-keg while both have financially benefitted from the subsequent Somali community fraud, then together they blame the presence of federal law enforcement -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)- agents for striking the match.  WATCH:

Investigation into Minnesota’s Somali Immigrant Fraud Ring Expanding


Posted originally on CTH on December 24, 2025 | Sundance 

Representative Kristin Robbins claims there are multiple millions in assisted living program fraud, while highlighting failures in basic internal controls and ongoing payments indicted individuals. Federal Education Secretary Linda McMahon, House Speaker Lisa Demuth, and Rep. Robbins have all urged Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to step down.

Governor Walz says he accepts accountability; however, he blames pre-existing vulnerabilities and pandemic-era program expansion. Walz now claims his reforms will include tighter provider screening, enhanced audits, and cooperation with federal prosecutors. [SOURCES] All of this is happening as the scale of the fraud is yet to be fully identified.

I’m curious if this widespread issue of Somali immigrant fraud is the reason why Tim Walz was selected by Kamala Harris to be her VP candidate in 2024.

Sunday Talks – Tom Homan Outlines “The Current U.S. Border is Secure,” the Efforts to Deport Illegal Aliens Continues


Posted originally on CTH on December 22, 2025 | Sundance 

Border Czar Tom Homan appears on Fox News to discuss the current state of border security and the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) effort to identify, capture and deport illegal aliens inside the USA.

A reported 1.9 million illegal aliens have left voluntarily, with approximately 700,000 tracked detained and forcibly removed.  Tom Homan is passionate about his mission to continue this border security and deportation operation.  Thankfully, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel are supporting the CBP/ICE operation, but a lot of work remains to be done.

As ICE works through the deportation operation, beginning first with violent criminal aliens already captured in the U.S. justice system, there are tens-of-millions more illegal aliens still to be exfiltrated from the U.S. homeland. This is the main reason why it is critical for commonsense Americans to vote in 2026 to stop Democrats from taking control of the House and impeding these operations.

Unfortunately, the challenge is huge because the DC UniParty agenda is willing to give Democrats control.  Most of corporate America, hardline leftists, most of big tech and the majority the GOP who take money from immigrant advocacy operations – in combination with the political club that opposes President Trump (Sea Island, Massie, Paul, et al) – find themselves united on this issue.  The issue of mass immigration is a matter of political elites versus Main St American voters.

As noted, Tom Homan also delivered remarks to the Turning Point USA organization.

Rhode Island Arrest Affidavit Gives Details on How Brown Shooting Suspect Was Identified – Full Affidavit pdf

Public Press Release – HERE / Affidavit Available – HERE

Rhode Island – […] “On December 18, 2025, a Rhode Island state court, based on an affidavit from a Providence Police Detective, issued a state arrest warrant for Neves Valente charging him with two counts of murder and 23 felony counts of assault and felony firearms offenses.

Earlier this evening, law enforcement tracked Neves Valente to a Salem, New Hampshire storage unit. After obtaining a federal search warrant for the unit, authorities entered and found Neves Valente deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Neves Valente (age 48) was born in Torres Novas, Santarem, Portugal and was a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States. Neves Valente arrived in the United States in August 2000 as an F-1 student at Brown University and subsequently obtained U.S. lawful permanent residency in April 2017. While at Brown University, he was enrolled in a doctoral program but subsequently withdrew from the university.”  – Affidavit Here

[Full Affidavit Link]

There is no motive being outlined by law enforcement or FBI investigators.  However, the level of planning outlined within the affidavit itself would indicate specific targeting.

♦ Valente first arrived in the USA on a student visa August 23, 2000.  Valente would have been 23 years old.

♦ Valente was only at Brown University for two semesters (Sept 1, 2000, to May 21, 2001).

♦ Sixteen years later Valente was granted a diversity visa. May 10, 2017.

♦ On Sept 14, 2017, Valente became a legal permanent resident (green card holder).  Valente would have been 40 years old.

♦ On December 13, 2025, Valente returns to Brown University approximately 24 years after he dropped out and begins shooting people.

I’m sure much more will come out.
