The White House unveiled a new webpage "that described the pro-Trump marchers as "peaceful" and "orderly" and accused police of escalating tensions and violence.
The timeline presented by the administration grossly mischaracterized some of the day's events, downplaying President Donald Trump's rhetoric before the violence began and falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen.
It's sick. I'm not linking to the White House web page, but the above linked ABC News article has a link. It's sickening. How can anyone believe this or let it go as a truth by our Federal Government?
Then, "Federal ICE Agents" killed a women in Minneapolis yesterday, January 7, 2026. From videos, it appears the woman was trying to drive away and she was shot to death. The president defends the ICE killing of a poet. According to the Washington Post, he said, "the 37-year-old woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over” the agent, who Trump said appeared to shoot her in self-defense. The president made the claim within hours of the shooting Wednesday, before investigators had completed their work.
“The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis,” he said in a social media post. “They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE.”
How is this happening in the United States of America? We are returning to the 1930s.
