What recent events are impacting ICE operations in Minneapolis?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, January 19th, 2026, and this is your AM Update. We're here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking. Below freezing temperatures in Minneapolis doing little to stop agitators from interfering with ICE operations.
This whole dynamic is deeply concerning because supposedly they would be coming for me and targeting me.
The DOJ reportedly investigating whether comments by Democrat Minnesota politicians Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Fry cross a criminal line. President Trump escalates threats against the eight European countries most resistant to making a deal for the U.S. to take over Greenland. And President Trump's former fixer turned enemy, Michael Cohen, who said he would have to leave the U.S. if Trump won, changes his tune again as he now tries to curry favor with the president. Not even kidding. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM update. Thank you so much for watching.

In Minneapolis, below freezing temperatures doing little to slow agitators seeking to disrupt federal immigration enforcement as ICE agents continued operations through a weekend marked by repeated confrontations. In video obtained by Freedom News, one agent delivering a blunt message to bystanders.
We're here to arrest a child sex offender.
And you guys are out here honking.
No, we're pressing.
That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender. That's who you guys are protecting.
How are Minnesota officials being scrutinized by the DOJ?
Insane. DHS tasking ICE with targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in the Twin Cities. ICE Director Todd Lyons saying last week these efforts netting more than 2,500 criminal illegal aliens in the region since the beginning of the surge. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Sunday on CBS with a staggering statistic on the criminal backgrounds of the individuals they've arrested.
Every single individual has committed a crime, but 70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or have been convicted of that have come from other countries that are here illegally, first of all, and then they have committed a criminal act while they've been here or in their home countries as well. It's not 70%. Yes, it is.
It absolutely is.
Seventy percent of everyone you guys keep changing your percentage. You pick and choose what numbers you think work. But that is the facts is that 70 percent of the people that we have detained have charges against them or have been convicted of charges and they need to be brought to justice.
Agitators coordinating protest activity across the Twin Cities using so-called Ice Watch Rapid Response Networks to spot, report, and swarm federal agents. But those alerts are not always accurate. In some cases, these groups zeroing in on the wrong targets, falsely identifying ordinary civilians as undercover ICE agents. Alpha News reporting on one such incident last week, a group of software engineers who say they were mistaken for ICE officers while eating lunch at a Minneapolis diner.
What threats is President Trump making regarding Greenland?
According to one of the men, the group is politically mixed, including one who is anti-ICE. The man receiving a message on an anti-ICE signal chat he belongs to called SW Minneapolis Rapid Response, reporting that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at that very restaurant.
