FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking him for political reasons.
Trump’s attorney said they are "confident that JPMC’s unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and JPMC’s unsubstantiated, ‘woke’ beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views."

FBI agents have continued using body cameras – a practice that has caused friction when they join DHS agents on crackdowns. Some DHS agents have objected to FBI agents wearing body cameras in joint operations, according to current and former law enforcement officials. In a few instances, FBI agents have been dropped from specific operations as a result, those officials said.

Shutdown risk rises after fatal Minneapolis shooting
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5704987-schumer-opposes-dhs-bill/amp/
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Saturday evening said that Democrats will block a major government funding package if it includes money for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), calling the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis “appalling.”

“What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling — and unacceptable in any American city,” Schumer said in a statement.

“Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included,” he warned.

Bovino argues Second Amendment did not apply to Pretti
https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/minneapolis-shooting-ice-protests-01-25-26?post-id=cmktu90zl00053b6qleh6xakk
Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino said Sunday that Second Amendment protections do not apply when federal officers believe they are being obstructed or assaulted, even as he offered no evidence that Alex Pretti engaged in such conduct before he was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Bovino said constitutional gun rights are void in situations he characterized as riots or attacks on law enforcement.

“We respect that Second Amendment right, but those rights don’t count when you riot and assault, delay, obstruct and impede law enforcement officers and, most especially, when you mean to do that beforehand,” he said.

Bovino also claimed to support peaceful armed protest, saying, “I’ve done that myself and fully support that, but not when you perpetrate violence, obstruct, delay or obfuscate border patrol in the performance of their duties.”

He did not cite evidence that Pretti committed violence or interfered with agents in those ways, instead repeatedly framing Pretti’s presence at the scene as proof of intent.
Okay, now the 2A squads will show up in force.

They fought ISIS in Syria for years. Now U.S. allies say they've been abandoned.
A fragile truce reached this week between the Syrian government and Kurdish-led fighters was seen as a blow by many Kurds in their hard-won fight for autonomy.
Under a deal announced Tuesday, which came after Syrian forces seized swaths of territory in the northeast, the SDF was given four days to agree on integrating into the state, with its key ally, the United States, pushing it to accept.

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack welcomed the truce as an “inflection point, where former adversaries embrace partnership over division,” as he made clear the SDF’s role as a key ally in battling the Islamic State had become obsolete with the emergence of a new central power to partner with.

He said the U.S. had “no interest in long-term military presence; it prioritizes defeating ISIS remnants, supporting reconciliation, and advancing national unity without endorsing separatism or federalism.”

“This moment offers a pathway to full integration into a unified Syrian state with citizenship rights, cultural protections, and political participation,” Barrack added.

https://prospect.org/2026/01/26/ice-trump-democrats-funding-department-homeland-security-alex-pretti-minnesota/?
Detailed language on the conditions is to be finalized today. They include:

An independent federal-state investigation, which includes Minnesota officials, of ICE murders and tactics.
A ban on ICE use of face masks.
A requirement of body cameras (there was $20 million in funding for body cameras in the current appropriations bill, but they are not mandatory).
A ban on roving ICE patrols.
A ban on the invented category of “administrative warrants” that bypass judges in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
An end to arrest quotas.
