What federal scrutiny are Minnesota leaders facing?
As the Pentagon prepares to send troops to Minnesota, the DOJ investigates whether state leaders impeded federal law enforcement.
They should be cooperating with ICE. And if they did, we probably wouldn't have a lot of these incidents that we're seeing now. It's an inviting tragedy.
I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Monday, January 19th. This is Morning Wire.
President Trump ratchets up the pressure on Europe over Greenland, threatening new tariffs unless allies support U.S. control of the island.
What President Trump is trying to do is prevent a taking or Russian-Chinese action in Greenland in the future. So why not be strategic?
And the U.S. cuts off the aid spigot to Somalia after its government destroys a warehouse full of food donated by Americans.
We have a limited amount of money that we can dedicate to foreign aid and humanitarian assistance, and that has to be applied in a way that furthers our national interest.

As left-wing protests in Minneapolis appear to be growing even more violent, the DOJ is investigating Minnesota Democrats for obstructing federal law enforcement.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips joins us now with more.
How is President Trump escalating trade tensions over Greenland?
Hey, Cabot. So nearly two weeks since the shooting of Rene Good, the rioting across Minneapolis is not slowing down, if anything, seems to be picking up steam. First, what is the latest from the, well, the front lines there? So last week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz urged President Trump to turn down the temperature. But over the weekend, violent left-wing agitators in his state did anything but. They continued to riot. Large groups of protesters clashed with law enforcement outside of federal buildings and ICE facilities. And a number of conservative demonstrators were brutally attacked in broad daylight. In one instance, right-wing activist Jake Lang was physically dragged from the front steps of a government building by a large mob of leftist agitators.
They proceeded to beat him with fists, rocks, and flagpoles, as some in the crowd could be heard yelling, kill him. All it's worth pointing out with police nowhere to be seen. The video is pretty disturbing, we're going to warn folks, but we're going to play some of it here for our audience watching on the Daily Wire website. Now, thankfully, Lang was eventually able to make it to a car, which sped to safety, but not before he was left with severe gashes to his face and head, which left him hospitalized. Other footage from the scene showed a different man wearing an American flag hoodie. That man was surrounded by another mob who demanded, quote, take it off and you won't get hurt.
Take it off and you won't get hurt.
Seconds later, as the mob surrounds him, they force him to remove that hoodie, which they rip from his hands and run off with.
