Today's House Votes to Fund the Government With Only 2 Weeks of Funding For DHS During Which Democrats Will Work to Reign in ICE | We are Funding the Warehousing of Immigrants in a Form of Torture To Make Them So Miserable They'll Waive Their Rights and be Deported | The Victimhood Behind Trump's Backlash Presidency backgroundbriefing.org/donate x.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social facebook.com/ianmastersmedia

According to government data, at least 3,800 children were detained by U.S. federal immigration forces in 2025 alone, including 20 infants. On today's show: Elora Mukherjee, professor at Columbia Law School and director of its Immigrants' Rights Clinic, talks about what these children and families are experiencing right now.

Gaius and Germanicus turn their debate to American migration patterns, with Gaius arguing that modern elites exploit immigrants as property for cheap labor and political votes, echoing historical patterns of indentured servitude that built colonial economies. Germanicus draws comparisons to Rome, noting that the empire successfully assimilated diverse races through genuine upward mobility and citizenship pathways that created loyalty across ethnic lines. However, he warns that the Western Empire eventually collapsed when Germanic tribes entered not as individuals seeking assimilation but as unassimilated national groups maintaining separate identities and allegiances. Germanicus cautions that current policies encouraging migrants to remain culturally separate rather than integrating into the host society dangerously resemble the dynamics that fractured Rome. The pair concludes that immigration has been a neuralgic obsession throughout American history, with elites consistently exploiting immigrant labor while simultaneously fearing political insurrection from unassimilated populations.1863 DRAFT RIOTS NYC

The groundswell of opposition to Trump's deportation agenda has been astounding. But there has been a long history of immigrants opposing the U.S. state's efforts to terrorize and deport them. Historian Adam Goodman discusses the struggles mounted by immigrant workers in the 1970s, the 2006 immigrant workers general strike, and the necessity of organizing lasting movements for change. Adam Goodman, The Deportation Machine: America's Long History of Expelling Immigrants Princeton University Press, 2021 Adam Goodman, “Barring the Gates: A History of Political Exclusion and Family Separation in Cold War America,” Labor (2021) 18 (1): 54–66.

It's Monday, February 2nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Federal judge upholds right of 4,000 Myanmar immigrants to stay A federal judge has ordered a temporary halt to the U.S. government's plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Myanmar living in the United States. That's a shift from the Trump administration's recent assessment that conditions in Myanmar have improved, reports International Christian Concern. The ruling interrupts a move that had signaled U.S. support for the junta's upcoming elections and marks a departure from the administration's controversial policy to end Temporary Protected Status for Burmese nationals.   On January 23, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Chicago ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Myanmar migrants lacked a legitimate basis and therefore cannot take effect while a legal challenge proceeds. The judge blocked the Trump administration from ending protections for roughly 4,000 Myanmar nationals and scheduled a hearing on February 6 on the merits of the case.  In his written opinion, Judge Kennelly concluded that there was no genuine review of the conditions in Myanmar that underpin the decision and that the termination appeared more likely motivated by the administration's broader objective of curbing immigration and eliminating Temporary Protected Status generally, rather than by any evidence that conditions back home have materially improved.  According to Open Doors, Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is the 14th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. DOJ released 3 million pages, 180,000 images, 2,000 videos of Epstein files The Department of Justice announced the release of millions of new pages from the files of the late sexual predator and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, reports The Blaze. In a press conference, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche explained the details. BLANCHE: “Today, we are producing more than 3 million pages, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. Just a quick note about the videos and images. “The 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are not all videos and images taken by Mr. Epstein or someone around him. They include large quantities of commercial p*rnography and images that were seized from Epstein's devices, but which he did not take, or that someone around him did not take. We're releasing more than 3 million pages today, and not the 6 million pages that we collected. “I want to address what we didn't produce. The categories of documents withheld include those permitted under the Act to be withheld, files that contain personally identified information of victims or victims' personal and medical files and similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Any depiction of child p*rnography was obviously excluded. Anything that would jeopardize an active federal investigation. And finally, anything that depicts or contain images of death, physical abuse or injury also was not produced. “To protect victims, we redacted every woman depicted in any image or video, with the exception of Ms. [Ghislaine] Maxwell. We did not redact images of any men.” Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, “God shall bring every deed into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.” Deputy Attorney General Blanche also said that the White House had no involvement in the review of the latest documents. He added, "They had no oversight over this review. They did not tell this department how to do our review, what to look for, what to redact, or what to not redact." Dept. of Justice arrested former CNN anchor Don Lemon Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities and charged with federal civil rights crimes in connection with a protest at a Minnesota church service last month, reports NBC News. Demonstrators gathered at the service because one of its pastors, David Easterwood, allegedly works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protesters said Easterwood is the acting director of an ICE field office in St. Paul. In a Friday post on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Lemon, age 59, and three others — Trahern Crews, Georgia Fort and Jamael Lundy — were arrested "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota." The Department of Homeland Security said that Lemon was charged with conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers. Cities Church Lead Pastor Jonathan Parnell said, “We are grateful that the Department of Justice acted swiftly to protect Cities Church so that we can continue to faithfully live out the church's mission to worship Jesus and make Him known.” Lemon's attorney, Abbe Lowell, said that Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the federal government has sent 3,000 federal immigration agents to the Twin Cities over the last two months and arrested more than 3,000 illegal immigrants. Trump selects new Federal Reserve Chairman On Friday, President Donald Trump unveiled his choice to succeed Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. On Truth Social, the president wrote, “I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Kevin Warsh to be the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.”  He previously served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors between 2006 and 2011. Appearing on CNBC, David Bahnsen, chief investment officer of The Bahnsen Group, said this. BAHNSEN: “He has the respect and credibility of the financial markets. I worked with him at Morgan Stanley. Thought very highly of him. Look, there was no person who was going to get this job who wasn't going to be cutting rates in the short term. However, I think longer term I believe he will be a credible candidate.” Bahnsen referred to Trump's desire to lower interest rates to spur further economic activity, which Powell has opposed. Disney+ expands R-rated movies by 2,200% The streaming platform Disney+ is expanding its so-called “mature” content library.  Concerned Women for America reported that parents can expect more than a 2,200% increase in R-rated movies and more than an 840% increase in TV-MA-rated shows available on the platform, reports The Christian Post. Disney's streaming platform is adding new shows and movies as part of an integration with Hulu, with the change scheduled for February.  Last Thursday, the conservative advocacy group Concerned Women for America reported that Disney+ will increase the number of R-rated movies available for streaming from 19 to over 439. And he number of shows with a TV-MA rating — meaning that the content is intended for allegedly “mature” audiences — on Disney+ will go from 45 to 425. Matthew 18:6 says, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Florida church banned from worshipping And finally, Coastal Family Church in Flagler Beach, Florida, is pushing back against a Seventh Judicial Circuit Court judge's temporary injunction issued last Thursday, which bans it from holding worship services in a unit they purchased in a strip mall where property covenants prohibit large gatherings, reports The Christian Post. Circuit Judge Sandra Upchurch wrote that the church is “prohibited from allowing public assemblies put on by any entity to occur there.” Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal rights law firm representing the church, filed an appeal to the Fifth District Court of Appeals last Monday, arguing that the mall's ban on public gatherings “is an unconstitutional restriction on the First Amendment rights of speech, assembly, and religious exercise, and violates Florida law by preventing the church from using its own property to gather and worship.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 26, 2026. 0:30 Why is Minneapolis ground zero for violent ICE protests—and who’s really behind the chaos? We dig into the disturbing pattern surrounding immigration enforcement in Minnesota, questioning why ICE operations there are met with coordinated resistance, political cover, and organized activism. From elected officials aiding protesters, to claims of Signal chats, doxxing of ICE agents, and staged protest infrastructure, we explore whether this is spontaneous outrage or something far more deliberate. We also examine the tragic death of an ICU nurse, the role of misinformation, and the dangerous line between lawful protest and outright anarchy—raising serious questions about accountability, the rule of law, and whether the Department of Justice is failing to act as chaos escalates. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Over the weekend, a protestor in Minnesota was shot and killed while struggling with ICE officers. Democrats are threatening another government shutdown this week. Long time Democrat Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has decided to not run for reelection to Congress. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We unpack the latest example of our “outrage culture” as Apple CEO Tim Cook faces backlash for attending a private White House screening of a Melania Trump documentary. We explore why a simple appearance at a first lady’s event has sparked controversy, questioning whether the public is punishing respect for the office itself rather than political affiliation. From comparisons to similar events with Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, to the dangers of social media mobs dictating every decision by powerful figures, the conversation delves into how this culture of coercion threatens leadership, freedom of association, and the ability to navigate public life without fear of constant vilification. 16:00 What do you do when your liberal friends start posting things online that just aren’t true? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the growing frustration many conservatives feel watching social media melt down over politics, protests, and ICE enforcement. From viral misinformation and “MAGA silence” bait posts to claims of engineered chaos in Minneapolis, the conversation dives into how outrage culture, mainstream media narratives, and online activism are fueling division. The American Mamas share why they often choose to scroll instead of engage, how disinformation spreads through friend groups, and why social media has become less about truth and more about manufacturing conflict. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to a Florida anesthesiologist who publicly declared he would refuse to treat Trump supporters, sparking outrage over ethics, morality, and the Hippocratic oath. We break down why targeting patients based on politics is not only cruel but morally depraved, and why the trust society places in doctors makes this behavior especially dangerous. From the obligation to treat all patients, even violent offenders, to historical examples of professionalism in medicine, we explore the chilling consequences when political bias overrides care—and why the Florida Attorney General is now stepping in. 26:00 We respond to a listener email claiming ICE is “hunting” hardworking immigrants, sparking a deep dive into immigration, the rule of law, and the American Dream. We break down why enforcing immigration laws is about protecting trust and fairness, not targeting hardworking people, and why legal compliance matters from the first step onward. The conversation also challenges common claims about white privilege, explores the history of immigrant contributions, and emphasizes the importance of due process, responsibility, and respecting the laws that make America prosperous. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a landmark legal battle in California, where a 19-year-old claims platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube fueled a youth mental health crisis through addictive design features. We question whether social media companies should be held responsible for users’ depression or suicidal thoughts—or if personal responsibility still matters in a free society. Using humorous comparisons to chocolate, alcohol, and TV, the conversation explores the fine line between business design, human choice, and accountability in the age of endless scrolling. 36:00 A new poll reveals a surprising bipartisan consensus: Americans overwhelmingly believe securing access to foreign oil and energy is crucial for the U.S. economy. We break down the numbers—69% of Americans across party lines agree on the importance of energy security—and explore why energy independence is synonymous with economic independence. From protecting jobs to reducing reliance on foreign powers, the conversation highlights how access to reliable oil isn’t just about fuel—it’s about controlling America’s future. 39:30 We take on the heated debate over Second Amendment rights and federal law enforcement after the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. We examine how Democrats are using language to argue that the Second Amendment doesn’t protect firearm carry at protests, even as official narratives clash with video evidence and eyewitness accounts about what really happened that day. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with not one but two love stories that unfolded on the set of Stranger Things.

Let's get something straight, it wasn't ICE, it was Border Patrol that was involved in the Minneapolis shooting this past weekend, and the confusion is intentional by the media. Art del Cueto checks in to talk about Border Patrol procedures. AG Kris Mays really stepped in it when she alluded that Arizona residents could shoot ICE officials using the stand your ground laws, Pinal County Sheriff chimes in with real truth. Arizona politics is scary with Fontes and Hobbs in charge, luckily the AZ GOP elected a new party chair to bring back sanity during this year's elections. Plus, Walz just isn't right, white Evangelicals are getting blamed, legal immigrants we want, and more.

In this urgent episode of Empowered With Gina, Gina Zapanta sits down with Gina Amato, Director of the Immigrants' Rights Project at Public Counsel, for a necessary conversation about immigration, due process, and the state of the law in 2026.Gina Amato is on the front lines of litigation against the federal government, fighting to protect immigrants' constitutional rights, including access to legal counsel and protection from unlawful detention and racial profiling. She explains what many Americans misunderstand about immigration law, why immigrants are entitled to due process under the Constitution, and how denying access to attorneys threatens democracy itself.Drawing from her upbringing as the daughter of an immigrant mother, Amato shares what led her to civil rights work, the emotional weight of representing vulnerable communities, and how trauma and systemic injustice intersect with the criminal and immigration systems.The conversation breaks down what is actually happening inside detention facilities, why family separations continue, and how policies are being enforced without regard for long-standing constitutional protections. Amato also addresses the common argument that undocumented immigrants are “not entitled” to rights and explains why that belief is legally and historically wrong.This episode is about law, humanity, and the consequences of abandoning due process. It offers clarity amid misinformation and speaks directly to women doing difficult, high-stakes work who are trying to stay grounded while fighting for something bigger than themselves.

The Trump administration's federal invasion and occupation of the state of Minnesota continues to sow chaos in the Twin Cities, but grassroots resistance to ICE and Trump has also exploded. And on Friday, Jan. 23, unions, community organizations, small businesses, faith communities, and Minnesota residents of all kinds will participate in a mass strike, a day of “No work, no school, and no shopping.” From Minnesota, we get firsthand accounts from Aminah Sheikh, a union organizer and an active member and executive board member of Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America, and Nick Estes, an enrolled member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and an Associate Professor in American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota. Hosted and produced by Maximillian Alvarez.

Though Wisconsin hasn't been faced with the major ICE raids as we've seen in LA, Chicago, and Minneapolis, there is growing concern that ICE will arrive in Wisconsin. Governor Evers said this week that the state is preparing for this inevitability. To talk about ICE raids and the larger context of anti-immigrant sentiment in the US, host Allen Ruff is joined by Armando Ibarra.  Ibarra works with Voces de la Frontera, an organization with deep roots in Wisconsin. Founded in 1994, the organization responded to the displacement of people from NAFTA. Over the years Voces has helped more than 16,500 families create “family disruption plans” and has held “know your rights” sessions for more than 30,000 people across Wisconsin. Voces de la Frontera will be holding its annual assembly this weekend. Ibarra also discusses the US as a land of immigrants in a land of anti-immigrants, from colonization,  Westward expansion, and the Chinese Exclusion Act, to the present. Ibarra says that the US is no longer pretending not to be an empire, as we've seen with the Trump  administration's aggression in Latin America.  They also discuss the Supreme Court ruling that legitimizes racial profiling, the reframing of protest as “domestic terrorism,” the rise of state-sanctioned violence against immigrants, and the 287(g) programs that deputize local law enforcement to act as immigration agents. Voces organizes a 24-7 emergency ICE hotline at 1-800-427-0213. Armando Ibarra is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor in the School for Workers. He's the co-author of the award winning book, The Latino Question: Politics, Labouring Classes and the Next Left.

In this episode we share two conversations with people we met in Manorhamilton in the Republic of Ireland, just across the border from Northern Ireland. Like so many things, conflict and tensions are not confined within a political line that is drawn on the map.Gerry Creamer is the youngest of five children. He grew up in a traditional and  devoutly Catholic family in the Republic of Ireland, close to the border with the North. Although he has several family members who have been active in politics, Gerry is more interested in community work and spends his time trying to find funding for programs that can make his community a better place to live.Elaine O'Hara has spent most of her life in Manorhamilton with short stays in Cork and Belfast, just after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. She is active with a women's group in Manorhamilton. Although life has taken some unexpected turns, she says she knows who she is, she holds her head up high, and she is immensely proud of the three sons she has raised.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.
