Federal judges in Minnesota worked together against President Trump's White House.

 Federal judges in Minnesota worked together behind the scenes during this year's immigration crackdown to stop ICE deportations and run a coordinated operation against President Trump's White House.

The judges shared templates, were glued to their phones, and moved in lockstep on detention cases to make sure nothing was missed, and no migrant could be deported.  

They then went on the record this week to accuse the Trump administration of threatening the rule of law.

According to a report, Former Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz, and six other judges on the District of Minnesota bench, called what happened in courthouses “a grave threat to the rule of law.”

He said that if you take that rule of law away, you get anarchy or authoritarianism.

The judges admitted to;

• Meeting regularly and running group email threads to keep track of ICE and the migrants
• 
  
• Having clerks keep a spreadsheet of which judge to call on which legal question
• 
  
• Built templates so they could issue the same kinds of detention orders over and over
• 
  
• Stayed on their phones so a two-hour movie would not mean someone “woke up in New Mexico”
• 
  
• They told ICE to hold people, produce people, give bond hearings, or stop a transfer.
• 
  
• Schiltz then published lists claiming ICE had broken dozens of those orders in January and February and threatened contempt, including against ICE’s acting director. Critics say the judges stopped treating each case as its own and started running a coordinated operation against the executive branch to stop the deportation of illegal migrants. The judges said court staff worked 16-hour days, seven days a week during Operation Metro Surge, to make sure migrants were not deported.Judges said they were entering orders late at night and first thing in the morning.
• 
  
• In January, Schiltz issued a blistering public order listing 96 court directives he said ICE had violated in 74 cases since Jan. 1.
• 
  
• He wrote that ICE had likely broken more orders in that single month than some federal agencies break in their entire existence.
• 
  
• He later admitted that the noncompliance was due to understaffing and not a plan to defy the courts.

Zohran Mamdani caught running a private Signal chat

Zohran Mamdani caught running a private Signal chat of more than 200 social media influencers who get receive daily talking points, video clips, and event invitations and then are paid to push out his propaganda, according to an investigation

Many of those influences are getting paid $5,000 to $20,000 in taxpayer money funneled through city-contracted advertising firms, according to a Columbia Review investigation

After he took office, the group was recast as “NYC Creators Announcements,” administered by Emilia Rowland, the mayor’s director of new media and cultural communications, who makes $175,000-a-year.
Members are fed pro Mamdani information to use in posts and are also offered interviews with chosen Mamdani city officials.

Researchers identified 189 influencers with documented ties to the administration.

Group members told investigators the chat group has over 200 people in it, ranging from accounts with 5,000–10,000 followers to those with millions.

However, they forgot to say 'Directly' because workers interviewed said its individual agencies that hire influencers through marketing and advertising contractors for specific campaigns including on voting, health care, tenants’ rights, and immigration services.

Staffers said the going rate is $5,000–$20,000 per campaign.
