‘We're fighting to survive in our home town, in our country, and at the same time we're fighting for our future, for our independence'Nick Robinson speaks to Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv, about Ukraine's war with Russia as it approaches its fourth year.Born behind the Iron Curtain in 1971, he's arguably best-known as a former heavyweight boxing world champion who made his name in the ring during the 1990s and 2000s.Having hung up his gloves following a series of injuries, when his native Ukraine endured political upheaval through the Orange Revolution, Vitali's attentions turned to the political arena. Following a short stint in the Ukrainian Parliament, where he aligned with pro-Europeans, Vitali was elected mayor of Ukraine's capital Kyiv in 2014 after heavily campaigning against corruption.But his greatest challenge in politics, and indeed even greater than becoming a world champion boxer, came when Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Al día de hoy está muy presente la noticia sobre el premio Nobel de la paz que María Corina Machado regaló al presidente estadounidense Donald Trump, sin embargo, no es la primera vez que algo así ocurre en la Historia, pues en 1943 el premio nobel de literatura, el noruego Knut Hamsun obsequió la medalla a los nazis y la dedicó a Hitler, lo que ocasionó una polémica muy grande en el mundo de la literatura. https://youtu.be/KcPsJj0qboI 🎩 Conviertete en Patreon ► http://www.patreon.com/bullymagnets 👌 Conviértete en miembro del canal ► https://bit.ly/3bkey7Z ⚡ Sigue las novedades de Bully Magnets en WhatsApp ► https://bit.ly/48lMpKJ 📷 Sigue las novedades de Bully Magnets en Instagram ► https://ig.me/j/AbaYGiTH3By3ux9t/📲 Sigue las novedades de Bully Magnets en Telegram ► https://t.me/BullyMagnets 📖 Nuestro nuevo libro lo puedes conseguir AQUÍ► https://amzn.to/2YLs95d También en librerías principales de todo el país. 🎤 Spotify podcast ► https://spoti.fi/2F5f914 🎤 iTunes podcast ► https://apple.co/3jHwV9O 🎤 Google Podcast ► http://bit.ly/2GeMY0z 😎 ¡Únete a nuestro Discord! ► https://discord.gg/vyV46zs Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/eun1tA Twitter ► http://bit.ly/gD0BP2 Tumblr ► http://bullymagnets.tumblr.com/ Visita nuestro sitio oficial ► http://www.bullymagnets.net 🔴 En la producción de este video: Enrique López: @Reijard Andrés Alba: @Andres_BMs Luis Felipe Ángeles: @Luisfelipe_ang
After more than two decades of socialist rule, Venezuela faces a rare opportunity for democratic transition following Maduro's removal. Ian Vásquez and Marcos Falcone trace the regime's record of repression and economic collapse, explain why regime insiders cannot credibly deliver reform, and make the case for immediate engagement with María Corina Machado and the opposition that overwhelmingly won the 2024 election.

No 3 em 1 desta quinta-feira (29), o destaque foi a manifestação do ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Dias Toffoli, que afirmou, em nota, que o caso Banco Master só poderá ser encaminhado à primeira instância após a conclusão das investigações da Polícia Federal. Segundo o magistrado, o inquérito permanece no STF para garantir a apuração completa dos fatos, com a manutenção dos sigilos necessários. No cenário eleitoral, levantamento do instituto Paraná Pesquisas mostra o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) na liderança dos cenários de primeiro turno da disputa presidencial, com vantagem sobre Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O estudo também cita nomes como Ratinho Júnior, Ronaldo Caiado e Romeu Zema, enquanto analistas avaliam uma possível migração de votos no campo da oposição. Na área econômica, o ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), afirmou que pode deixar o cargo em fevereiro, dentro do prazo de desincompatibilização exigido pela Justiça Eleitoral para as eleições de 2026. A decisão sobre o substituto caberá ao presidente Lula, e o nome mais cotado para assumir a pasta é o do atual secretário-executivo, Dario Durigan. Após visita ao ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), em Brasília, o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), afirmou que pretende concentrar seus esforços na reeleição no estado. Ao ser questionado sobre apoio a Flávio Bolsonaro, o governador indicou alinhamento com o campo bolsonarista. No cenário internacional, a presidente interina da Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, enviou um recado direto à líder da oposição, María Corina Machado, ao afirmar que não permitirá ações que prejudiquem a paz e a tranquilidade no país. A declaração ocorre em meio à escalada de tensão política e repercutiu fora do país. No Congresso, a CPMI do INSS convocou o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, para depor no colegiado no dia 5 de fevereiro. A comissão investiga descontos indevidos em benefícios previdenciários que, segundo o Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), podem ter causado prejuízo bilionário. Integrantes da CPMI também avaliam a convocação do ministro Dias Toffoli para prestar esclarecimentos sobre um possível envolvimento no caso. Já a delação premiada dos principais alvos da Operação Carbono Oculto segue travada na Procuradoria-Geral da República. Apesar disso, a investigação aponta o pagamento de cerca de R$ 400 milhões em propinas entre 2022 e 2024. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1. Learn more about your ad choices.

Andrew Mueller reports from Nuuk as Trump’s Greenland threats develop. Plus: why did 2025’s actual Nobel Peace laureate, María Corina Machado, give the US president her award?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Reports have come out alleging that Venezuelan vice president Delcy Rodríguez coordinated with Washington before the special force attack on Caracas to seize President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3. The result is a strange hybrid of Venezuela's socialist government still in place and now working with (or rather under) President Donald Trump. It's not the only curious and confusing feature of the “regime decapitation.” The CIA is now openly praising working with Rodríguez and it leaked a report saying that opposition leader María Corina Machado didn't have the support (before she gave her Nobel peace prize to Trump). Can the Chavista government stay in power or is this a temporary situation? What really motivated Trump to take out Maduro and when did he make the call? I get deep into the historic events with great journalist and friend Juan David Rojas, “our man in Miami,” (or close by in South Florida) in this latest episode of the CrashOut Podcast.

Today's Headlines: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado visited the White House and handed Donald Trump a symbolic Nobel Peace Prize — only to walk away with Trump merch, zero U.S. backing, and confirmation that the administration will continue supporting remnants of the Maduro regime. The Nobel Foundation quickly clarified that Nobel Prizes can't be transferred, even symbolically. Trump then escalated his Greenland fixation, announcing new tariffs on European countries that don't support a U.S. takeover and threatening steeper penalties by summer. He later claimed Norway owed him a Nobel Prize and suggested U.S. control of Greenland is essential for global security, prompting Canada to warn that any U.S. military action would trigger NATO obligations. Meanwhile, Canada and the EU are rapidly reshuffling trade alliances away from the U.S. This week, former DOJ special counsel Jack Smith will testify to Congress as Trump heads to Davos to unveil his self-appointed “Board of Peace,” tasked with overseeing Gaza's future. Trump plans to chair the board, charge countries $1 billion to participate, and has invited members ranging from U.S. allies to Russia and Belarus. In Iran, mass protests continue amid a near-total internet blackout, with reports estimating more than 13,000 deaths in recent days. Iranian state TV was briefly hacked to air messages urging revolt, while the FAA warned airlines to prepare for possible military activity affecting flights across parts of Latin America and the Pacific. Back in the U.S., Trump declined — for now — to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, while placing 1,500 troops on standby and opening investigations into Minnesota's governor and Minneapolis's mayor. He also floated plans to sue JPMorgan Chase over alleged political “debanking.” Finally, Virginia lawmakers moved to redraw congressional maps ahead of the midterms, opening yet another front in the rapidly escalating gerrymandering wars.

When Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel "Peace" Prize to warmonger Donald Trump to thank him for bombing her country, it showed how the prize is a tool of war that serves Western foreign policy interests.

1. Support for Regime Change Without “Boots on the Ground” Regime change can be morally and strategically justified when it leads to the fall of tyrannical or hostile regimes (e.g., Soviet Union, Iran). Strongly distinguishes between: Non-military or indirect regime change (diplomatic pressure, moral support, rhetoric, economic pressure) Full-scale military invasions, which the speaker opposes based on lessons from Iraq and Libya. Frames “regime change” as a concept unfairly discredited due to past U.S. military failures. 2. Historical Analogy: Reagan and the Cold War Ronald Reagan is a model: “Peace through strength,” rebuilding the military without large-scale invasions. Moral clarity and public rhetoric (e.g., “evil empire,” “tear down this wall”) are catalysts for systemic collapse. The power of words and leadership signaling can inspire dissidents inside authoritarian regimes. 3. Iran as an Active Enemy of the United States Iran is fundamentally different from prior dictatorships: Actively funds terrorism targeting Americans Governed by a theocratic regime portrayed as irredeemable Open U.S. rhetorical and moral support for Iranian protesters and dissidents. Acknowledges uncertainty and risks following a revolution but argues the status quo is worse. 4. Venezuela: Engagement With María Corina Machado A bipartisan Senate meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado following her meeting with President Trump. Highlights her strategic emphasis on: U.S. unity Avoiding partisan attacks on Trump She is an effective, pragmatic opposition leader acting in Venezuela’s national interest. Strong ties between U.S. senators and Venezuelan communities, especially in Florida and Texas. 5. Trump’s Role in Global Opposition Movements Donald Trump’s leadership and rhetoric is a motivating force behind opposition movements in: Iran Venezuela Cuba These three countries are simultaneously nearing potential regime collapse or elections. Claims this could represent the most significant geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, while acknowledging high risks. 6. Military Operation Against Maduro (U.S. Arrest) A recent military raid targeting Nicolás Maduro: Maduro described as being protected by Cuban military forces Operation allegedly resulted in: No American fatalities Multiple enemy combatant deaths The Senator visited three wounded U.S. soldiers recovering in San Antonio. Emphasizing: Their bravery Their role in “changing the Western Hemisphere” Symbolic gestures (retrieving bullets/shrapnel as mementos) Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Visit with U.S. Soldiers Wounded in the Maduro Raid Senator Ted Cruz visits three U.S. soldiers wounded during a raid intended to arrest Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. All soldiers are recovering in stable condition and none suffered life‑threatening injuries. One soldier helped plan and lead the raid and continued fighting after being shot.

President Trump is declining in popularity with voters, but his rhetoric and that of the Trump Administration is only growing more extreme. But to understand how we got here, in this place, we have to go back to the 1980s — when right-wing academics and thinkers worked together to create a counter-revolution to mainstream conservative institutions. For more, we spoke to writer and political theorist Laura K. Field. She wrote a book on the modern conservative movement titled “Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right.”And in headlines, the President reveals his “Great Healthcare Plan,” Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado gives her medal to Trump, and billions of dollars for mental health and addiction organizations are restored just 24 hours after the Trump administration initially pulled them.Show Notes:Check out Furious Minds – https://tinyurl.com/276s5uj6Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down a whirlwind of escalating crises as Donald Trump's war against the American people intensifies, chaos erupts on the streets, and his poll numbers continue to plunge. We cover European nations deploying troops to Greenland to deter a potential U.S. invasion, Venezuela's brutal crackdowns under Delcy Rodríguez, and Trump's sudden abandonment of protesters standing up to the Iranian regime. We also expose the bizarre and unhinged — from our discovery of a Trump furry-themed party at Mar-a-Lago to Trump's allies scrambling to deflect from the Epstein scandal by deflecting with attacks on Bill Clinton. Plus, we unpack the humiliating moment Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado presents her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, and much more from a rapidly destabilizing world under the Trump regime.

President Trump met with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the White House. The Wall Street Journal’s Vera Bergengruen breaks down what happened at the meeting. As ICE enforcement continues in Minnesota, residents have taken to the streets in community patrols to track the movement of agents. Madison McVan of the Minnesota Reformer explains how efforts to deter ICE have grown since the shooting of Renee Good. Ticket prices for the upcoming men’s World Cup have reached exorbitant prices even after efforts by FIFA to bring them under control. The Athletic’s Henry Bushnell joins to discuss how prices got so high in the U.S. as other countries have offered much cheaper tickets for previous World Cups. Plus, the number two at ICE stepped down to make a run for Congress, and how Australia’s social media ban is already having an impact. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
Today's Headlines: President Donald Trump claims Iran has stopped killing protesters and is reportedly delaying potential U.S. military strikes after warnings from Israel and other allies. Instead, the administration announced new sanctions targeting Iran's Supreme National Security Council chief and 18 others tied to its shadow banking network. The U.S. Coast Guard seized a sixth oil tanker accused of violating sanctions on Venezuelan oil, while opposition leader María Corina Machado visited the White House, saying she presented Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize — despite the Nobel Committee's reminder that prizes aren't transferable. In a Reuters interview, Trump touted his economy as the strongest in history, dismissed polling opposing U.S. control of Greenland as “fake,” brushed off criticism of his investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and questioned midterm elections. Tensions escalated in Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot a man during an attempted arrest. DHS says the man entered the U.S. from Venezuela in 2022 and tried to flee, though details remain unclear. As protests grow, Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the military. The Washington Post also reports that the death of immigrant detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas border detention camp will be ruled a homicide, with witnesses alleging he was choked by guards. ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan resigned to run for Congress in Ohio, saying Trump “deserves a Congress that stands firmly behind his agenda.” Elsewhere, the EEOC is suing the University of Pennsylvania over antisemitism complaints and demanding lists of Jewish-affiliated groups and faculty — raising alarms about the creation of a centralized registry. A federal appeals court also cleared the way for the deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. And finally, the Congressional Budget Office estimates rebranding the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” could cost up to $125 million.

The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with. Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2010081288804499739?s=20 Trump To Meet Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Next Week President Trump plans to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado next week during her planned visit to the United States. This development comes despite his earlier reluctance to back her for the country’s top leadership role. Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in a taped interview that aired Thursday night that he understands Machado is “coming in next week sometime” and looks forward to saying hello to her.

Like it or not, Trump is dismantling your grift and rewriting the world order. You don’t have any logical reason to oppose it, except you hate that your era of dependence on US taxpayers is finally ending. So all you can do is appeal to emotions and invent a war out of thin cloth. War/Peace Russia Strikes Back Using Hypersonic Missiles Against Kiev Following Drone Attack on Putin's Residence Someone launched the drones from Ukraine and targeted them at Putin's residence to send a message. There is considerable debate online about it, but if President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are speaking truthfully, the most likely suspect who launched the drones was British intelligence inside Ukraine. Then again, if the CIA was factually involved, everyone would have to deny it. In retaliation for the December 29th attack, yesterday Russia fired a hypersonic Oreshnik missile and counterattack drones directly into the heart of Kiev, Ukraine. The use of the Oreshnik missile comes just hours after Russian President Putin asserted publicly that Ukraine, Europe and NATO have no defenses against the hypersonics. President Zelenskyy said the Russian attack involved 242 drones, 13 ballistic missiles, one Oreshnik missile and 22 cruise missiles. However, as with all things Zelenskyy, this dramatic claim seems to be slightly exaggerated. Russia claims they targeted key electricity infrastructure as well as the production facilities for building drones in Kiev which are collocated in residential areas.

His “trilogy” strategy is a purposeful plan, to remove the cabal control over our national security, by investing in new companies that are focused on advanced technologies for our military. The military industrial complex is being FORCED to compete with these new companies aligned with Trump. Which companies? 1) Palantir > expertise in data intelligence. 2) Anduril > autonomous weapons systems. 3) General Matter > next generation energy infrastructure. These three companies are the tip of the spear, when it comes to future warfare. Trump is funding their technological advancements and they are playing critical roles in our defense and the country's future. It's not a coincidence that Trump has recently criticized the big defense contractors. “Ah, the military industrial complex (MIC), that great behemoth blob that eats your tax dollars as a fat kid eats fried foods. Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to trim some of its fat and crack down on a notorious practice among defense companies: stock buybacks.” “Trump on the defense contractors focusing on Wall Street instead of production: “Defense contractors are currently issuing dividends and massive stock buybacks, at the expense of investing in plants and equipment. This will no longer be allowed or tolerated!” “All United State Defense Contractors, and the Defense Industry as a whole, BEWARE: While we make the best Military Equipment in the World (No other Country is even close!), Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks, at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment,” Trump said. “From this moment forward, these Executives must build NEW and MODERN Production Plants, both for delivering and maintaining this important Equipment, and for building the latest Models of future Military Equipment,” the president went on. “Until they do so, no Executive should be allowed to make in excess of $5 Million Dollars which, as high as it sounds, is a mere fraction of what they are making now.” A stock buyback is when a company uses its own cash to buy its own shares on the public market to reduce the total number of shares and juice the shares' value.” https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/09/donald-trump-defense-contractors-military-stock-buybacks-dividends-tax-dollars-ceo-salaries/ This has been a huge scam on Wall Street for a long time. A company uses their cash or debt in order to buy back their own companies stock, which drives up the price. Their bonus and salary are based on that stock price, not their company's performance or whether or not they are fulfilling their contracts. That crooked scam is ending. They will build plants, hire more workers and complete their obligations on time and on budget or lose government contracts. Trump has the ability as Commander in Chief, to take over these defense contractors because of “national security.” And that leverage will be applied. The Commander in Chief has extraordinary power during WAR and national emergencies. The military industrial complex is now being dismantled. But have you heard what else, Thiel is deeply involved in? Thiel is also helping to transform our financial system too. This transformation is focused on “stablecoins.” It's another trilogy strategy. Thiel is building a comprehensive ecosystem, based on “compliance,” infrastructure, and financial control. Have you heard of these companies? 1) Bullish Exchange > front end trading platform for a “stablecoin” ecosystem. 2) Erebor Digital Bank > backend infrastructure for “stablecoin” transactions. 3) Ubyx > “stablecoin” clearing protocol. Trump is pushing “stablecoins” because of NATIONAL SECURITY.

I will say this exactly the way a mother thinks it, raw, direct, and without pretending this is complicated.A 37-year-old woman. Three kids. Middle of a work week. The father of those children is dead. She is the parent left. The one job she has above every cause, every protest, every headline, is getting home to her kids.And what is she doing instead?She's out of state (other reports claim she lives there), in the street, in her car, blocking federal agents who are doing their job. Not alone! Her partner is right there filming her like this is some brave little documentary moment. Around them: sirens blaring, people yelling, pure chaos, manufactured chaos, so agents can't do their lawful duty.Her window is down. She hears the orders. She understands the orders. She ignores the orders.Then she puts the car in reverse.Still doesn't comply.Then she puts it in drive, NOT park! She moves forward into the agent.That's not “confusion.”That's not “panic.”That's decision after decision after decision.Now put yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A driver is already in an unlawful act! refusing commands in a hostile, chaotic scene, and now that driver uses a vehicle to move toward you. You get a split second. You don't get the luxury of “Maybe she's just stressed.” You have to assume the worst, you have to think of protecting other people like the partner at the window, because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you don't go home or someone else.So the agent fires after she makes an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated she's willing to escalate.Now… imagine her three kids. At school. Sitting there like any other day. Not knowing their mother is out playing street-hero games for criminals in the middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible for them!She didn't think about them.She didn't think, “If I get arrested, who picks my babies up?”She didn't think, “If I get hurt, who raises them?”She didn't think, “If I die, they have nobody.”She thought about protecting criminals.She thought about interfering with federal agents.She thought about the camera.She thought about the crowd.She thought about the moment.There is no amount of evidence, money, tears on TV, or news spin that can make this make sense.As a mother: NOTHING about this makes sense.At minimum, she knew her actions could get her arrested. At minimum. And she still chose it. She chose strangers. She chose chaos. She chose lawlessness.Make it make sense, because the only thing I see is three kids who just got abandoned by the only parent they had left, not by accident… but by a series of deliberate choices. https://twitter.com/mattvanswol/status/2010336379721425112?s=20 me. One month. Again, the only reason they don't want you dead yet is because they don't know your name. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2010106701459128396?s=20 . All their nutbaggery will be dealt with in short order. https://twitter.com/AndrewKolvet/status/2009740735449358474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2009740735449358474%7Ctwgr%5E13f340292b82005d5b6478d71551e8979c328155%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Finfamous-former-j6-capitol-police-officer-sparks-fury%2F lawless agency that's killing Americans.” Fanone is trying to incite the murder of federal law enforcement for doing their jobs. Arrest this man. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2010045509776576779?s=20 nice effort in their eyes, but not good enough because we all saw the video. They need SOMETHING where the dead protestors are blameless. They are DESPERATELY seeking an image like the one below. Keep this in mind in the days and weeks ahead. Chicago Police Superintendent Reminds the Public ICE Is Law Enforcement and Has Authority Over Citizens Instagram and other social media posts have spread false claims that ICE agents are not law enforcement, have no authority over citizens, and that citizens or even illegal aliens should resist them. These posts also falsely claim that people are not required to comply with ICE orders, that ICE lacks arrest power without a warrant, or that ICE cannot arrest a citizen. All of this is untrue. These misconceptions are fueling resistance to ICE, including escalating violence and chaos. Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a press conference the day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in self-defense that ICE personnel are sworn law enforcement officers and must be treated as such. Snelling said that when federal agents are boxed in by vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe they are being ambushed and that the situation could quickly become deadly. “If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed,” he said, adding that officers are justified in using force in self-defense under those conditions. He warned the public not to interfere with law enforcement operations, stressing that boxing in any officer is illegal and dangerous. “You are breaking the law when you do that, and you are putting yourself in danger,” Snelling said. He added that officers are justified in viewing individuals who persistently follow them as potential threats.
