Woke Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said his state is working with the American Civil Liberties Union, pro-immigrant groups and contacts at the United Nations as it pursues a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration over a sweeping federal immigration crackdown known as Operation Metro Surge.

The state of Minnesota, along with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, filed suit in federal court in January alleging that the deployment of thousands of immigration agents to the Twin Cities amounts to an unconstitutional “federal invasion” and political retaliation for the state’s sanctuary-style policies.

The so called complaint argues that Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers have carried out militarized raids, racially profiled Somali and Latino residents, and even detained U.S. citizens and legal visa holders without probable cause or warrants.

Leftist State Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is leading the case for Minnesota, told reporters at the lawsuit announcement that “this has to stop; it just has to stop,” calling the federal operation a grave threat to Minnesotans’ constitutional rights.

In parallel, the ACLU and ACLU of Minnesota have brought their own lawsuit alleging that ICE and CBP’s tactics under Operation Metro Surge are “illegal and morally reprehensible,” saying agents have “swept up Minnesotans through racial profiling and unlawful arrests.”

Walz has welcomed the ACLU’s actions and told the cable outlet MSNow that “we being the ACLU, a lot of groups, especially immigrant groups, folks at the United Nations and in Geneva are working” to document abuses and support Minnesota’s legal challenge, adding that such conduct would draw international investigation if it occurred in another country.

In court, lawyers for Minnesota and the Twin Cities have asked for an emergency order halting or sharply limiting Operation Metro Surge, arguing that the surge of roughly 3,000 federal agents has terrified communities, interfered with local public safety efforts and coerced officials to abandon their own immigration policies.

Prosecutors for the state have told a federal judge that the crackdown is an “unlawful and unchecked invasion” that undermines the Tenth Amendment’s protection of state sovereignty and violates federal administrative law because similar enforcement is not being carried out elsewhere.

The Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security officials have rejected the lawsuits as baseless, insisting the operations are necessary to combat fraud and crime, even as riots grew in Minnesota and legal battles over the future of the crackdown move forward.

Fox News host Abby Hornacek got a lesson in professional wrestling on Saturday morning when RAF Middleweight champion Kennedy Blades slammed her to the mat with a suplex during a live segment on Fox & Friends Weekend.

The body slam happened while Hornacek was interviewing Blades to promote RAF Wrestling’s upcoming big event on Fox Nation.

After a brief chat, Blades offered to demonstrate her signature move.

Hornacek, clearly nervous, agreed.

“Let’s suplex… I’m so nervous… Let’s try this,” Hornacek said, just before Blades grabbed her around the hips, twisted, lifted her high into the air, and drove her down onto the studio mat.

The mic pack on Hornacek’s back didn’t survive, but the host popped right back up, laughing and high-fiving Blades.

“Ohhh! Amazing. I don’t think I can be a wrestler,” Hornacek said, taking the suplex like a champ.

Hornacek added, “Alright, the mic pack did not survive, but I did, luckily… I know that looked worse than it was, but it was a lot of fun. I think I’m going to stay off the mat from now on. But Kennedy here, I gotta say — that felt like being thrown off a skyscraper.”

When co-host Griff Jenkins asked if she was okay, Hornacek replied, “I feel great. I feel like a million bucks.”

Co-host Charlie Hurt called it possibly “the greatest promo” he’d ever seen.

The U.S. military is preparing for a possible new phase of the conflict with Iran, with Pentagon officials drawing up plans that could involve American ground forces operating inside the country.

According to officials who spoke to The Washington Post, the plans stop short of a full-scale invasion but could further weaken the regime’s grip on power.

The plan is currently for targeted operations involving Special Operations units and conventional troops.

Thousands of U.S. personnel have already been deployed across the Middle East.

Any ground mission would expose them to heightened risks, including Iranian drone strikes, missile attacks and improvised explosives.

The final decision now rests with President Trump, who has not yet approved any escalation and has repeatedly stated his intention to “wind down” the conflict.

“It’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said:

“It does not mean the President has made a decision.”

Leavitt recently said the president is “prepared to unleash hell” if Iran continues its nuclear activities and threats against U.S. interests.

Military planners have examined several potential targets, including a takeover of Kharg Island, a major Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf.

Other proposals involve strikes along the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at neutralizing weapons systems used to threaten shipping routes that are undermining the energy sector and damaging the global economy.

Officials are maintaining that any operation would likely be limited in duration. Estimates range from a few weeks to several months.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has downplayed the likelihood of a prolonged war, arguing the U.S. can achieve its objectives “without ground troops.”

However, reports have circulated suggesting additional deployments are under consideration, potentially adding thousands more troops to the region.

The conflict has already taken a toll. Thirteen U.S. service members have been killed in recent weeks, including casualties linked to a plane crash in Iraq and a drone attack in Kuwait.

Meanwhile, a further 300 have been wounded in retaliatory strikes across multiple countries in the region.

Public support for a ground war remains limited. Polling indicates a majority of Americans oppose sending troops into Iran.

For now, the plans remain on the table, with the president yet to make a final decision.

Two kindergarten teachers who were terminated from Propel Charter Schools in Pittsburgh after they recorded themselves in a classroom celebrating Iranian state media threats to assassinate President Donald Trump have reportedly been hired at the nearby Urban Pathways Charter School.

The teachers, Kate Patterson and Devin Hays, made national headlines earlier this month after they posted a video showing their excited reaction to a news report about Iran’s threats against Trump.

In the clip, the pair crossed their fingers with huge smiles on their faces while showing the headline: “IRAN ISSUES ASSASSINATION THREAT AGAINST TRUMP: RPT,” while sitting in what appeared to be their Propel classroom.

Propel Schools initially placed Patterson and Hays on paid administrative leave for an internal investigation.

The district later confirmed that both women were “no longer employed,” citing the inappropriate nature of the social media posts and the video made on school property.

“We want to be clear that Propel Schools rejects any suggestion of harm or violence toward anyone,” the school said in a statement obtained by WTAE Pittsburgh. “Such sentiments are incompatible with our values and with the responsibility entrusted to educators who serve children and families.”

The statement continued, “Our focus remains on the safety and well-being of our scholars and on upholding the professionalism and trust our community expects.”

Now, just weeks later, the same two teachers have landed new jobs at Urban Pathways Charter School, a taxpayer-funded charter serving students in Pittsburgh.

A video posted by one of the teachers shows the duo excitedly announcing their new jobs at the school, bragging in the caption, “all I do is win.”

The video was posted to X by Right Angle News, who urged people to contact the school with their concerns.

Multiple users tagged Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the U.S. Department of Education, and President Trump’s administration, calling for an investigation into the charter school’s decision and potential loss of funding.

Comments ranged from “These people should not be near children” to demands that the teachers lose their teaching licenses entirely.

As of Saturday evening, neither Urban Pathways Charter School nor the teachers had issued a public statement addressing the backlash or confirming the hires.
