Anti-ICE protesters stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday worship—and the media wants you focused on everything except what actually happened. This week, we break down the chaos in Minnesota: from the DOJ’s FACE Act investigation to the ā€œrapid responseā€ vigilante networks profiling random citizens as federal agents. We examine the cases making headlines, what’s being left out of the reporting, and why Tim Walz stayed silent for 36 hours. Plus: the legal realities of due process that no one seems to understand, the difference between administrative and judicial warrants, and what happens when governors play chicken with federal law enforcement. One year into Trump’s second term, the battle lines are drawn—and Minneapolis is ground zero.Episode HighlightsDOJ launches investigation into church protest under FACE Act and KKK Act provisionsAnti-ICE ā€œrapid responseā€ networks caught profiling citizens based on appearance and vehicle typeTim Walz’s 36-hour silence—and his contradictory statements on political violenceLegal breakdown: administrative warrants vs. judicial warrants and what due process actually meansMinnesota National Guard on standby as tensions escalate between state and federal authoritiesHouskeeping!Starting Saturday, January 31, we will be taking the monthly UnFiltered episodes LIVE to our paying subscribers.
