BREAKING: Our reporter @Savsays was assaulted by a mob of ‘F**K ICE’ protesters outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis.
Watch from her point of view as the far-left activists repeatedly attack her.

This NY Times article is precisely why hard-working Americans simply do not trust the media.
The article is a poorly thought out hit piece which attempts to address the dramatic personnel changes we’ve made, along with the enterprise-wide reorganization Director Patel and I have undertaken.
But the conclusion of the piece is so ridiculous that a child could debunk it. The authors comically assert that you are “less safe” because Kash and I have aggressively reformed the FBI. Yet, they produce NO evidence whatsoever to backup that claim. And the reason they don’t produced any evidence, is because the numbers tell the opposite story.
Here is just a small snippet of data points proving that the decision Director Patel and I made to refocus manpower towards fighting violent crime, and combatting terrorism, is working:
-Our violent crime initiative, dubbed “Summer Heat,” and other initiatives around the country have the murder rate trending to be the lowest in U.S. history by a longshot. Summer Heat is coming to a city or town near you soon as we assist your community in removing criminal predators from the streets.
-Our emphasis on violent crime has led to the arrests of 14,000 violent criminals. This is a 62% increase from the same time period last year.
-We rescued over one hundred children from being preyed on, while arresting over 825 violent child predators, and 140 human traffickers.
-Our agents locked up 51 foreign intelligence operatives for spying and smuggling dangerous substances into our country.
-In conjunction with our federal partners, we apprehended, imprisoned, and deported over 18,000 illegal aliens. Many of these illegal aliens had violent criminal histories. As a result, last month, again, ZERO illegals were admitted into our country. The same partners arrested nearly 800 rioters for attempting to stop enforcement operations.
-We seized 44,000 kilos of cocaine, 3,500 kilos of meth, and 1,210 kilos of fentanyl in just the last few months. This is a 22% increase from the same time period last year. In addition, we locked up one of the most dangerous gang leaders in the county, and we dismantled gang operations in nearly every corner of the country, including the largest TDA gang takedown ever.
-We locked up 3 of the “Top-Ten” most wanted FBI targets, and we’re closing in on another.
-I’d like to talk more about some of the incredible work being done by our counter-terror teams, but the information, as you would imagine, is classified. But I promise you, it’s happening.
-And, finally, we are closing in on more disclosures and fixing past wrongs to personnel. We’re making sure this is done correctly. But it’s absolutely getting done.
Notice how The NY Times omitted these data points to tell you “a story,” not the story. And, even though it’s an opinion piece, they should at least attempt to insert reality into it.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her. 🇺🇸
As the Deputy Director of the FBI, I am charged, standing with Director Patel, with managing the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world. The Director and I are also responsible for looking at grave mistakes made by people within the FBI in the past, and ensuring they never happen again.
And while the FBI does not have primary investigative responsibility for investigating threats against the POTUS, and we do not make prosecutorial decisions, we do have the ability and authority to support other federal agencies for violations of federal law. And we certainly have a responsibility to comment on matters involving former FBI officials, and allegations of law-breaking.
That said, former FBI Director James Comey brought shame to the FBI badge, yet again, this past week. The Director and I spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning up messes left behind by former Director Comey. And his latest actions are no exception.
As I’ve stated in the past, I cannot post openly about all the things the Director and I are doing to reform the enterprise, but I assure you, they are happening. Sadly, many of those agenda items are the result of former Director Comey’s poor decision making and atrocious leadership. And to those who doubt me, I assure you, when you see what the Director and I see from the inside, it’s even worse. I’m addressing this now, rather than on our interview with Maria Bartiromo tomorrow, because we recorded that interview earlier in the week prior to the incident with Comey.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
@ChrisVanHollen I wish you cared as much t about the people from Israel that were captured and haven’t come home yet. Unlike this gang banger they were completely innocent
