🚨BREAKING: ICE agents tried to tell a building manager that a locked apartment building is not private property, in Minneapolis.

In the video, the building manager asks a very simple question:

Do you have a judicial warrant?

The agent’s response?

“This is not private property.”

Which is a wild thing to say while standing outside a locked residential building you’re trying to get into.

He keeps insisting she’s wrong.

She doesn’t budge.

She finally says, “You aren’t going to get in. I’m not opening the door without a warrant.”

Another agent then asks if she can tell him whether the person on his phone is inside.

She says, “No.”

He then responds, “Can’t tell me that either? Want to keep your criminals in your building?”

And she shuts that down by saying, “I want to keep my residents safe.”

Which is the exact opposite of what ICE was doing.

Because trying to pressure your way into private property, without a judicial warrant, is fishing.

It’s hoping someone doesn’t know their rights.

And do you know what they hope you don’t realize?

If this person was actually some dangerous “worst of the worst” criminal, they love talking about, getting a judge to sign a warrant would be the easiest part of their day.

Instead, they show up with no warrant, no legal authority to enter, and try to lie their way inside.

Because ICE agents are gambling on the idea that regular people will be too scared to say no. And that’s why they continue to use threats and violence, while claiming that anyone with a pending immigration case is a criminal.

This manager saw through that.

Which is exactly why the Constitution only works when someone is willing to demand it be upheld.

No warrant. No entry.

STEAMNADO on Lake Lewisville this afternoon!
These have been common today from the Arctic air in the teens moving rapidly over open water in the 40s.
They are typically pretty weak.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Yikes! Meteorologist @MatthewCappucci snagged this shot of incredible lightning shooting out of the clear-air updraft of a supercell thunderstorm near Tabor, Iowa minutes before it produced a destructive tornado.

Watch as this intense multi-vortex tornado rapidly expands on top of me near Thurman, Iowa. You can see the vortices rip across the road just ahead of me!
