It's no longer just “abolish ICE.” Now prominent Democrats are openly calling to dismantle the entire Department of Homeland Security. Tara breaks down what that actually means — and why no one on the right seems to be responding.
Democrats are openly calling to abolish the Department of Homeland Security — not just ICE. Meanwhile, after $175 billion to defend Europe, allies are cutting deals with China and denying U.S. requests. Tara connects the dots on border policy, midterms, and a global realignment few are talking about.
The legacy media is still hunting for a “moderate Democrat” like it’s a unicorn—and Jake Tapper’s latest attempt to sell Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear as the answer is painfully transparent. In this clip, Beshear dodges, the “pendulum” talking point gets exposed, and Hakeem Jeffries gets pressured by Joy Reid to go full “Abolish ICE.” The result? A brutal reminder that the Left’s base demands radicalism—and “moderate” is just branding.

Democrats’ war on ICE hit a new level when Rep. #ShriThanedar openly threatened federal agents for enforcing immigration law. During a heated #DHS funding hearing, Thanedar warned ICE leadership they’d be “held accountable” and pushed to #AbolishICE altogether. We break down his explosive comments, the legal reality behind #ImmigrationLaw enforcement, and why the #Trump administration keeps winning in court on #BorderSecurity.

1. ICE Incident & Media Narrative A story circulated claiming ICE detained a 5‑year‑old child; the document states this was false. ICE was arresting the father, who allegedly fled and abandoned the child. The mother reportedly refused to take the child back. The argument: media outlets amplified a misleading narrative to evoke emotional reaction and sway suburban voters. 2. Narrative of Political Motivation Democrats and major media are using immigration stories to fuel a political campaign against ICE. John Kasich and others are highlighted as contributing to public perception around ICE enforcement. 3. Government Shutdown Predictions A 100% chance of a government shutdown tied to DHS and ICE funding. Chuck Schumer and other Democratic leaders are quoted as refusing to fund DHS without major ICE restrictions. A distinction is made: many agencies are already funded, so the shutdown would be more limited than the previous historical shutdown. 4. “Abolish ICE” Positioning Democrats are unified in refusing to fund ICE or DHS, framing it as similar to “abolish ICE / abolish police” rhetoric. Democrats want a prolonged and painful shutdown to signal to their base that they are fighting against ICE. 5. Trump Accounts (Economic Policy Section) Benefits include: Could lead to significant wealth accumulation due to compound growth (e.g., $300k by 18; $1M+ by 28 with max contributions). Intended to help children in poverty or lower‑income households build long‑term wealth. Employer and charitable contributions (e.g., Michael & Susan Dell, Brad Gerstner) will accelerate scale and impact. Compared in transformative potential to the creation of 401(k) plans. 6. Minneapolis Shooting & Media Coverage Media portrayed the man shot by ICE as a peaceful ICU nurse, omitting earlier confrontational behavior. Video evidence reported by BBC showed the man spitting at, confronting, and kicking an ICE vehicle days before the shooting. Media intentionally shaped the story to portray ICE as murderers. 7. MSNBC AI Image Controversy MSNBC used an AI‑enhanced image to make the man appear more attractive, which the document calls political propaganda. Commentary from Joe Rogan criticizing the altered image. MSNBC admitted to using an AI‑generated thumbnail but did not apologize or fire anyone. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 54: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: At this moment, the biggest threat to the future of democracy at this minute is Chuck Schumer. He and the other members of the milquetoast caucus of Senate Democrats are ready to give away their chance to turn MAGA's panic over the ICE murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and Keith Porter Jr) into a forced re-structure of the entire damnable structure. Instead of demanding a new organization with bipartisan control and a blanket ban on any activity near polling places or in fact in the week before an election, Schumer is willing to sell that for four trivial concessions. He's willing to forfeit the last chance to get these death squads off our streets in exchange for a "uniform code of conduct," the end of "roving patrols," the discontinuation of masks, and the use of body cameras. Because obviously the threat that ICE's next slaughter of an innocent bystander will be captured on video completely kept these Trump Death Squads from killing Alex Pretti. It's beyond Schumer's usual naiveté. It's criminally negligent. He shouldn't just be ousted as Minority Leader, he should be expelled from the Senate. Trump blames Bovino. Bovino blames Noem. Noem blames Miller. Miller blames Border Patrol. Roger Stone blames Lewandowski. Trump blames the 2nd Amendment. They're imploding, Chuck. Get out of their way, you moron. ROBERT FICO: Slovakia’s pro-Trump prime minister who last year spoke at CPAC (it's pronounced Fitso) was quoted by five Politico sources as having been shaken after a meeting with Trump on the 17th, alarmed by Trump's "psychological state" and convinced Trump was "out of his mind." Denials all around. (33:00) BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: If you didn't know, Saturday he wrote an ICE protest song. Uploaded it to social media yesterday. Calls 'em all out by name, including "King Trump." Chills. With Bruce's kind permission, we're playing it in the podcast. Superb stuff. I wish Bruce were Senate minority leader. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A News Nation moron reduces the death of Alex Pretti to a "scrum." Melania doesn't know her icons from her iconoclasts. And Katie Miller insists all Conservative women are far more attractive than all Liberal women. You have to give her credit: who knew she had gotten this far with such devastatingly impaired vision? C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Just past the anniversary, now 45 years, since a famed New York morning disc jockey responded to something I said on the air one hour by threatening to kill me, and then responded to something I said on the air the next hour by trying to hire me full-time on his station. The Ted Brown Saga - revisited. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Man this week is a powerful episode. Arthur talks dating, mental health, and art and we share our reasons for supporting the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and why we support #AbolishIce and #FreeMinnesota. Then we dig into the story of teenager Grace Darling and how she, with a little help from her father, rowed out in a tiny rowboat (specifically a coble) to help 8 people who had survived a shipwreck in the Farne Islands! She was made into a hero by the London press but she never saw the point, after all she had only done what she did to help people who needed helping. And once again, our episode ties into the modern day as Alex Pretti lost his life just trying to help someone, a risk that Grace ran as well.

But makes it clear that some Democrats refuse to our demands to Abolish ICE, including current Independent Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan, who promised to work with The Trump Regime's ICE Gestapo while mayor of Detroit. 13:54-44:26: Julia Pulver on Protesting MattersMichigan progressive voice & activist, and RN, Julia Pulver, talks with Pat about why protesting matters in these times of Trump, ICE, data centers, and more.

On Friday, Jan. 23, around 50,000 people in Minneapolis, MN, engaged in a historic mass strike and day of protest to demand an end to ICE terror and President Trump's federal siege of Minnesota. Then, on Saturday, Jan. 24, an ICE agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, volunteer ICE observer and a registered union nurse who worked for the Veterans Health Administration.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 53: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Alex Pretti may not have been murdered by Trump's Paramilitary Death Squad AS a warning to American governors and mayors and citizens, but the Trump Dictatorship is exploiting the state-sponsored terrorism against a VA Nurse to issue that warning anyway: You "better support President Trump," said Attorney General Bondi. The implied threat that followed was easy to decipher: if you don't, ICE won't leave your city alone and it won't leave you ALIVE. Bondi's comment came as she explained her (extortion) letter to Governor Walz, offering to remove ICE and Border Patrol from Minnesota providing Walz gives the DOJ records and data and especially his voter rolls. Because it's easier to fix elections if you have the voter rolls. But behind it was the bigger picture: “We sent Governor Walz a very strong letter today. We got it out saying that he BETTER SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP. He better support the men and women in law enforcement because if he doesn’t, we are, and that’s what we’re doing right now.” The United States of America is at this moment without a functioning government. In place of a government, it has a Trump terrorist organization, enforced by a paramilitary death squad, Proud ICE Boys, masked gunmen, street gangs in Nazi leather trenchcoats. We are without a government and we are without a functioning Constitution and we are without a functioning president. We are destabilized – from within – by state sponsored terrorism. Our OWN state. With our OWN terrorist – the worst terrorist this nation has ever faced: Donald John Trump. What to do about it? It starts with the Democrats in the Senate not just attacking ICE funding but shutting all funding down, indefinitely. This Trump junta must be broken. B-Block (35:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: We could devote the segment just to those idiots who defended ICE after the Renee Good murder and are now done, professionally. But we'll limit it to three medalists and some runners-up: two New York Post writers, Tony Dokoupil, Senator Fetterman, Clay Travis, Scott Jennings, Stephen A. Smith C-Block (47:00) COMIC RELIEF: THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: New year, new round-numbered anniversaries. 30 years ago I was wined and dined by a Chicago radio station that was willing to double my salary and build their franchise around me if I quit SportsCenter. And they convinced me to do it. And then half an hour before I was going to say 'let's make it happen' they... took the station off the air.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'm on the road, the connection isn't great, but I couldn't stay quiet after what happened in Minneapolis, because an innocent American was killed and our government's response should scare the hell out of all of us. This episode is about why I believe fascism is no longer a warning but a reality, why ICE must be abolished, and why the only way out of this moment is resistance and real, face-to-face conversations across our divides.

In this Friday Radar Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers quick but critical headlines to watch heading into the weekend, from violent unrest in Minnesota to improving economic signals and new risks tied to artificial intelligence. Minnesota Riots and the Insurrection Act: President Trump warns he may invoke the Insurrection Act after left-wing riots erupt in Minneapolis, fueled by rhetoric from Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey targeting ICE officers. Protesters stole firearms from an FBI vehicle, raising alarms about escalating violence and state-level defiance of federal authority. Democrats Push to Abolish ICE: Michigan Representative Shri Thanedar introduces new legislation to abolish ICE, joining a growing majority of Democrats openly calling for the end of deportations. Bryan argues the bill signals a revolutionary shift in immigration policy, even if it fails in the current Congress. U.S. Seizes More Oil Tankers: U.S. forces capture a sixth ghost-fleet tanker carrying Venezuelan, Russian, and Iranian oil. Bryan explains how the strategy squeezes Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing while potentially impacting global oil prices and American consumers. Economic Updates Worth Watching: Mortgage rates hit a three-year low near 6 percent, inflation continues to cool, and consumer sentiment improves. Hiring remains weak, but falling rents, rising wages, and lower prices offer signs of relief heading into 2026. AI Risks Expand: Workers are increasingly being paid to train AI systems that may ultimately replace them. Bryan also warns of a surge in AI-driven scams, including fake videos and emails impersonating pastors and religious leaders. Unexpected Medical and Market News: GLP-1 weight-loss drugs may lower airline fuel costs as passengers weigh less, offering a surprising boost to airline profits. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: January 16 2026 Wright Report, Minnesota riots Insurrection Act, Tim Walz ICE rhetoric, abolish ICE bill Thanedar, ghost fleet oil tanker seizure, mortgage rates three-year low, inflation cooling economy, AI job displacement training, AI scams fake pastors, GLP-1 drugs airline fuel savings
The boys talk about ICE's depravity as they continue their occupation of Minneapolis, with the added discussion of how much the democrats are failing and/or unwilling to meet the moment. Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota quit because the DOJ is pressuring them to investigate Renee Nicole Goods' widow for no reason, and leaked memos detail how ICE agents are scared of the conditions on the ground that they helped create. Even with all this going on, centrist democrats can't help but insert their opinion to try to annihilate all of the momentum progressives are building.Subscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZAEarly access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:MN & ICE updates - https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigration-agents-terrified-by-ice https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/21-secret-ice-programs-revealed https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestunson/2026/01/13/more-americans-now-want-ice-abolished-a-stark-change-since-trump-took-office/ https://www.npr.org/2026/01/14/g-s1-105963/up-first-newsletter-minnesota-prosecutors-trump-economy-speech-inflationhttps://time.com/7346014/ice-protests-renee-nicole-good-democrats/https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/14/democrats-ice-funding-appropriations-00726552Senate fails to pass war powers resolution - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/us/politics/trump-venezuela-war-powers-vote.html
E19 - In the wake of Renee Nicole Good's murder, we've seen a terrible number of bad takes: from the events of that day, the overall purpose of I.C.E., and what the law says about where we go from here. Matt, Thomas, and Lydia come together to start with perhaps the biggest douchebag in the United States as part of our amuse douche (TM), followed by a pair of articles touching on why the Left was wrong about ICE in 2018 and is apparently at fault to this day for all horrors committed by ICE (eyeroll). Finally, we finish it up with questions from our amazing patrons! Watch this episode on YouTube! "Abolishing ICE is a very bad idea" (Nate Bruggeman & Ben Rohrbaugh, The Philadelphia Inquirer), 3/23/2018 "The Problem Isn't ICE. It's ICE Watch."

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Wednesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes a stunning Secret Service breach that put Vice President JD Vance and President Trump at risk, explains why emerging weapons like bioweapons and directed energy systems are reshaping warfare, and tracks escalating political and legal clashes tied to immigration enforcement, Venezuela, Greenland, China, and Iran. Secret Service Scandal Puts Leaders at Risk: An undercover sting revealed that Secret Service agent Tomas Escotto shared highly sensitive security details about Vice President JD Vance and President Trump, including movement patterns and advance travel plans. Bryan explains how such pattern of life leaks are exactly how foreign intelligence services plan assassinations and warns that internal ideological bias inside protective services now poses a grave national security threat. New Weapons That Change Everything: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth publicly warned that future military dominance will hinge on hypersonic missiles, long-range drones, space systems, biotechnologies, and directed energy weapons. Bryan breaks down why targeted bioweapons and portable energy weapons are no longer science fiction, how they may already have been used in Venezuela, and why cartels or hostile states gaining access would be catastrophic. SPR and Venezuelan Oil Strategy: Congress and the White House are considering how to use Venezuelan oil now under U.S. control to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Because the oil is heavy and high in sulfur, officials may sell it on the open market and purchase more suitable crude instead, turning Venezuela's resources into strategic leverage. Minnesota Protests Turn Organized and Political: Far left activists continue coordinated attacks on ICE officers in Minneapolis, with media outlets downplaying the political funding and organization behind the protests. Bryan explains why lawsuits by Minnesota officials to block federal immigration enforcement are political theater designed to energize the Abolish ICE movement, not serious legal efforts. Trump Moves Against Sanctuary Policies and Fraud: President Trump warned that federal funding will be cut off to sanctuary jurisdictions within ninety days unless they comply with immigration law. He also announced plans to revoke citizenship obtained through fraud nationwide, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming investigations are underway in all fifty states. Greenland Becomes a Spy Battlefield: As U.S., Danish, Chinese, and Russian interests collide over Greenland, Bryan answers a listener question on CIA operations there. He explains how U.S. intelligence identifies motivations, recruits sources, and counters Russian and Chinese influence as all sides quietly prepare for long term control of the Arctic. Global Power Plays Intensify: The Pentagon is repositioning naval assets near Venezuela while courts battle over deportations. Trump is quietly seeking seizure warrants for Russian-flagged ghost fleet tankers to squeeze Moscow and Tehran. Meanwhile, new assessments warn China could neutralize the U.S. Navy around Taiwan by mass-producing hypersonic missiles faster than America can replace them. Iran and Argentina Close the Episode: Iran's protest death toll may exceed twenty thousand as Trump weighs military action despite regional warnings. Bryan closes with rare good news as Argentina repaid a $2.5 billion U.S. loan with interest, bolstering President Javier Milei's reforms and delivering a win for American taxpayers. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: January 14 2026 Wright Report, Secret Service breach JD Vance, Tomas Escotto sting operation, Pete Hegseth new weapons warning, bioweapons directed energy systems, Strategic Petroleum Reserve Venezuelan oil, Minneapolis ICE protests Abolish ICE, sanctuary city funding cutoff, citizenship revocation fraud, CIA operations Greenland Arctic, China hypersonic missile threat Taiwan, Iran protest death toll Trump decision, Argentina Milei loan repayment

OA1224 - In this episode recorded only hours after an ICE officer killed U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis with extreme impunity, we contrast mirror-universe opposite views of immunity and impunity: the Trump administration's response to this tragedy as opposed to everything that they have done to rewrite the history of January 6, 2021 for this week's fifth anniversary of the insurrection.
