Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Friday, January 16th, 2026, and this is your AM Update. This kind of violence is perpetuated by what we hear the governor saying, what we hear the mayor is saying, and their irresponsibility is extremely reckless. President Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota as violent rioters are encouraged by state and local leadership. Columbia student agitator Mahmoud Khalil is still here, but the ruling that secured his release has now been overturned.
If your legal advisor tells you that an order is illegal, will you refuse to carry out that order?
Two nominees for key national security positions appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee as Democrats maintain their focus on their campaign against illegal orders. And a family member of Lance Twiggs, the roommate and alleged boyfriend of Tyler Robinson, speaks out about Twiggs' role in the Charlie Kirk murder.
Why is President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota?
All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system in a way that would benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards can keep your payments secure and they can provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin-Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.

President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, which would allow him to send in the military to subdue violent and obstructive protesting activity, causing repeated clashes with federal immigration authorities. The threat coming after a Wednesday ambush on an ICE agent, which saw three illegals attacking the agent, in response to which the agent shot one attacker in the leg. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem yesterday on Fox describing the lead-up to the shooting. Our agents were out doing what they're doing every single day across this country, is they were doing targeted enforcement, going after individuals that are breaking federal law.
When this individual drove away, crashed his car, tried to run into a home, and as they were wrestling on the ground trying to detain this individual, two other men came out of that building and started attacking him with weapons and shovels and brooms. As it was three-on-one, the agent feared for his life and defensively had to take action. But this kind of violence is perpetuated by what we hear the governor saying, what we hear the mayor in Minneapolis saying, and their irresponsibility is extremely reckless. Secretary Noem reporting the agent is bruised and injured, saying DHS is thankful he's still alive. Our source at DHS telling AM Update the agent was, quote, beat up pretty bad, end quote, with lacerations, bruising, and an injury to his leg.
DHS releasing information on the three illegals accused of participating in the attack. Julio Solis, the target of the operation and man who was shot in the leg, photographed smiling in the ambulance. Solis is reportedly here illegally from Venezuela, arriving in 2022. He has a previous conviction for driving without a license and an arrest for giving a fake name to a peace officer. Alfredo Ahorna, also here illegally from Venezuela, entering in May 2023. A judge issuing a final order of removal when he failed to show up for immigration proceedings. And criminal illegal alien Gabriel Ledesma arriving here in 2023 from, you guessed it, Venezuela. Ledesma reportedly marked by the Biden administration as a non-priority for removal.
