A Twin Cities-based employee of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is among 16 men arrested on suspicion of soliciting a minor following a sting operation by police in suburban Minneapolis.

Alexander Steven Back, 41, is among four people charged so far with trying to pay a 17-year-old girl for sex. Back could also face federal charges, Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said at a news conference on Tuesday.

Authorities said that they’ve submitted evidence against the other 12 men to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for possible charges.

According to the criminal complaint filed Friday in Hennepin County, Back, of Robbinsdale, responded to a fake online advertisement “offering prostitution services.”

In a text message to Back on Nov. 13, an undercover officer posing as a 17-year-old girl named Bella wrote “U ok if I’m a lil younger than my ad says … just wanna be honest.”

“Sure,” Back allegedly replied.

“K cause I am 17 and one guy got hella mad at me,” the officer replied.

GoFundMe campaigns have raised over $800,000 for a Ford employee who was suspended after heckling Trump.
Video shows Trump giving the middle finger after someone shouted "pedophile protector" at him.
United Auto Workers, the union that represents the Ford plant, said it's reviewing the employee's suspension.

A Ford employee who was suspended after heckling President Donald Trump has sparked an outpouring of crowdfunding support.

The GoFundMe donations, totaling over $800,000 in less than 24 hours, come after the Ford line worker, TJ Sabula, told The Washington Post that he heckled Trump during the President's visit to his workplace.

Trump visited a Michigan plant on Tuesday where the automaker builds its best-selling F-150 full-size pickup truck. The brief visit was intended to highlight the White House's commitment to rebuilding the US workforce and Ford's focus on rebuilding a blue-collar workforce pipeline.

Video from the event obtained by TMZ shows Trump gesturing after someone shouted "pedophile protector" — which Sabula has since said was him — in an apparent reference to White House's delay in releasing the full Epstein files. The President can be seen raising his middle finger after the remark and mouthing an expletive.

The White House told several news outlets that Trump was appropriately responding to "a lunatic" who "was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage."

The Federal Reserve has quietly delivered nearly half a trillion dollars to Wall Street with few strings attached over the past few months through an obscure government financial program intended for banks struggling to make cash payments.

These cash infusions signal instability in the broader financial sector. The New York Federal Reserve, a regional branch of the larger central bank that works to maintain the country’s financial stability, kicked off the new year by dumping nearly $97 billion into the banking sector since December 31, 2025.

The move is the latest in a series of major cash transfers the New York Federal Reserve has recently delivered to Wall Street.

The infusions began with an $11 billion transfer on June 30. In October, the transfers became much more frequent, culminating in a massive $50 billion infusion on Halloween, as first reported by investigative news outlet DCReport. In total, after doling out little to no money since July 2020, the New York Federal Reserve has transferred more than $420 billion to Wall Street in the past seven months — a record amount from the program.

For comparison, that lump sum is nearly equivalent to the pot of money that Congress passed to bail out the banks during the 2008 financial crisis under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Amid the deluge, the central bank has encouraged Wall Street to make use of the program and lifted its $500 billion cap on such transactions, meaning there is no limit to how much banks can borrow to meet their cash liquidity needs.

All of these cash infusions, issued through an arcane and newly restructured division of the New York Federal Reserve branch, amount to some of the largest cash bailouts since the COVID-19 pandemic sent shock waves through financial markets in 2020.

Experts argue that this uptick in lending indicate that banks do not have the liquid cash on hand to make payments and dole out loans.

https://www.semafor.com/article/01/14/2026/us-gets-first-500-million-venezuelan-oil-deal-holding-some-proceeds-in-qatar

The Trump administration’s first sale of Venezuelan oil is valued at $500 million, an administration official told Semafor.

The sale marks an initial milestone in the administration’s management of Venezuela after the US ouster of its former leader, Nicolás Maduro, 11 days ago. President Donald Trump has indicated that the US would effectively run Venezuela for an indeterminable amount of time and take control of up to 50 million barrels of its oil — marketing and selling it while distributing the proceeds back to Venezuela in an arrangement with little precedent.

Trump signed an executive order on Friday that provided some details on how the US plans to block courts or creditors from tapping any revenue from those oil sales. Venezuela owes international bondholders, oil companies and others as much as $170 billion — one reason why US firms have been reluctant to help rebuild the country’s infrastructure.

Trump told ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance last week that the US is “not going to look at what people lost in the past, because that was their fault.”

The administration official told Semafor that the interim leadership in Venezuela, led by former Maduro No. 2 Delcy Rodríguez, has “fully cooperated” since the US-Venezuelan energy deal was announced last week, adding that the US has “leverage” through sanctions and oil sales.

Revenue from the oil sales is currently being held in bank accounts controlled by the US government, as indicated in Friday’s order, according to the administration official. The main account, according to a second senior administration official, is located in Qatar.

The second official described Qatar as a neutral location where money can flow freely with US approval and without risk of seizure. Trump’s order noted that at least some of the revenue would be held in US Treasury accounts.

Personal information of 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents leaked online
ICE List website says it was leaked information about federal agents after shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis

Details of thousands of alleged ICE agents and Border Patrol employees have reportedly been leaked to an online watchdog group following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.

The identities of around 4,500 federal agents were shared with the ICE List website by a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower, according to The Daily Beast.

The data includes information on around 2,000 agents and 150 supervisors, according to Dominick Skinner, who launched ICE List. Early analysis from the volunteer-led organization suggests that around 80 per cent of those identified are still employed by the DHS.

“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting was the last straw for many people,” Skinner told the outlet.

Republicans split on Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

Summary
Republicans divided on immigration enforcement tactics, poll shows
Shooting death of activist sparks nationwide protests
Trump's immigration approval rating slips to lowest of his term
WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's Republicans are divided over whether federal immigration officers should try harder to avoid hurting people after a community activist was shot dead during an immigration raid and as violent arrests continued, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.
While 95% of Republicans continue to approve of Trump's performance as president, the poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday suggests a significant slice of Trump's backers are wary of his administration's aggressive approach to immigration enforcement. The poll found American approval of Trump's approach to immigration at its lowest point since he returned to office a year ago.

The president of Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.

Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling, President Frank Star Comes Out said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,’” Star Comes Out said. “Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.”

Details about the circumstances that led to their detention were unclear.

In the memorandum sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Star Comes Out said the when tribal nation reached out to the agency it was provided with only the first names of the men. Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.”

DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday evening.

Star Comes Out said the tribe has no plans enter an agreement with ICE.

President Donald Trump praised cartoonist-turned-conservative influencer Scott Adams after learning of his death on Tuesday.

Adams, known for the white-collar office-humor "Dilbert" comic strip, died at age 68 following a battle with cancer. His ex-wife, Shelly Miles, tearfully announced his passing during a livestream on the "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" YouTube channel.

Trump reacted to Adams' death on Truth Social, writing, "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you, Scott!"

President Donald Trump appeared to flip off a person heard calling him a “pedophile protector” during his visit to Michigan on Tuesday.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the president at the Ford plant. He appears to point at the accuser as he says, “f*** you,” then gives the person the middle finger as he walks away.

The president was touring Ford’s River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan Tuesday afternoon before delivering a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

The accusation against Trump came after the president pushed back on the release of the Epstein files for months last year, despite saying on the campaign trail he would release the files if reelected.

Trump had been a close associate of the convicted sex offender, and his pushback on releasing the files sparked widespread outrage, even from some of his MAGA supporters, and raised further questions about the president’s own relationship with the disgraced financier, who died in jail in 2019.

After months of delays, a bipartisan group of lawmakers last fall was able to buck GOP leadership and force a vote for the Justice Department to release the full Epstein files.

As the bill appeared poised to pass with overwhelming support, the president reversed course and backed it.

Trump Administration terminates federal grants for health services:

The Trump administration sent shockwaves through the U.S. mental health and drug addiction system late Tuesday, sending hundreds of termination letters, effective immediately, for federal grants supporting health services.

Three sources said they believe total cuts to nonprofit groups, many providing street-level care to people experiencing addiction, homelessness and mental illness, could reach roughly $2 billion. NPR wasn't able to independently confirm the scale of the grant cancellation. The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) didn't respond to a request for clarification.

"We are definitely looking at severe loss of front-line capacity," said Andrew Kessler, head of Slingshot Solutions, a consultancy firm that works with mental health and addiction groups nationwide. "[Programs] may have to shut their doors tomorrow."

Kessler said he has reviewed numerous grant termination letters from "Salt Lake City to El Paso to Detroit, all over the country."

Ryan Hampton, the founder of Mobilize Recovery, a national advocacy nonprofit for people in and seeking recovery, told NPR his group lost roughly $500,000 "overnight."

"Waking up to nearly $2 billion in grant cancellations means front-line providers are forced to cease overdose prevention, naloxone distribution, and peer recovery services immediately, leaving our communities defenseless against a raging crisis," Hampton said. "This cruelty will be measured in lives lost, as recovery centers shutter and the safety net we built is slashed overnight. We are witnessing the dismantling of our recovery infrastructure in real-time, and the administration will have blood on its hands for every preventable death that follows."

Assaults against ICE up 1300%, vehicular attacks up 3200%, death threats up 8000%

Assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are up 1,300%, vehicular attacks are up 3,200% and death threats are up 8,000%, the Department of Homeland Security said after a U.S. citizen was shot and killed during an alleged vehicular attack in Minneapolis this week.

Federal authorities argue the shooting was justified and in self-defense. Local and state officials say otherwise.

One day after the Minneapolis shooting, two Venezuelan nationals were shot by a Border Patrol agent after they attempted to run him over with their vehicle in Portland, Ore., the Department of Homeland Security said. DHS also describes the shooting as self-defense and justified.

The two Venezuelans and alleged Tren de Aragua members “weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them,” DHS said.

After the shooting in Portland, the Venezuelans fled the scene, DHS said. They reportedly drove nearly five miles to an apartment complex where they called emergency medical services and were transported to separate hospitals, DHS said.

>The report's authors estimate there were between 310,000 and 315,000 removals in 2025, a figure lower than what the administration has claimed. Department of Homeland Security officials claim that, so far, more than 600,000 illegal scumbags have been removed during the crackdown.

Topline

Elon Musk appeared to publicly acknowledge his child with right-wing influencer Ashley St. Clair on Monday, seemingly confirming his parentage almost a year after saying he was uncertain whether he was the father of the baby, who Musk is now seeking custody of over concerns St. Clair “might transition a one-year-old boy.”

Key Facts

St. Clair strayed away from her reputation as a right-wing influencer in an X post last weekend and was asked about her history of transphobia, responding, “I feel immense guilt for my role.”

St. Clair said she felt “even more guilt” for things she has previously said that “may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” referring to Vivian Wilson, Musk’s eldest daughter who came out as transgender in 2020.

St. Clair apologized in the post, saying she has been “trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”

Musk, responding to an X user who blasted St. Clair’s apology, said he will file for full custody of the child today given St. Clair’s “statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”
