Infowars Sunday Briefing: Tom Homan Locates Hundreds Of Thousands Of Missing Children, ICE Clashes With Los Angeles Protestors & MORE FULL SHOW - 02.01.2026 With your host: Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) https://t.co/TzaRjYTXIA
Nick Sortor’s InfoWars Sunday Briefing dissects militant protests in Los Angeles and Minnesota, where rioters—allegedly provoked by "puppet masters"—targeted ICE and Border Patrol facilities in 2025. Greg Bovino’s 2025 crackdown orders clashed with local inaction, while a federal judge upheld ICE operations after overturning a Biden-era injunction. Don Lemon’s arrest for church attack coordination (via leaked "white allies" claims) sparks debate over legal enforcement inconsistencies, with TJ Roberts citing the FACE Act and Anti-KKK laws for potential 10-year sentences. Minnesota’s Hennepin County shields rioters despite public support for ICE collaboration, while Democrats blocked evidence-sharing bills on crimes like beheadings by illegal immigrants. Sortor argues federal intervention—such as the Insurrection Act—may be needed to counter unchecked local obstruction. [Automatically generated summary]
We'll get into the legality of what he did with Representative TJ Roberts, a friend of the show that we have on all the time.
And we'll also get into news that's coming out of Minnesota in the past week.
There's a lot of controversy about whether or not the Trump administration has backed down or backed off.
And yeah, we'll break it down with Dustin Gregie, a local resident of the area and an incredible independent journalist as well that's broken a lot of stories out of there.
But first, what I want to talk about is Los Angeles, California.
And honestly, if there wasn't this Snow Mageddon thing out here, it's really a snow hurricane that's going on down the street from me on the east coast of North Carolina.
I ended up blowing a tire last night, so I didn't make it there after pulling 14 cars out.
I was going to be in Los Angeles instead.
The weather was a lot nicer there.
The people there also hate me, so I'm not too bummed out about having to be here, to be honest with you.
But what we saw were these rioters outside the federal facility there in Los Angeles, California, not protesting, not making their voice heard, not practicing their First Amendment right.
They were literally trying to break into the federal facility.
They were tying a chain to the gate.
You can see them right there destroying the security guard shack with no LAPD in sight.
Because what these people want, and it's very successful so far, is that they're trying to distract away from the immigration operations.
They want agents having to guard their own facilities.
And so they come back every once in a while and they start doing these sorts of operations where they obviously are an imminent threat to the safety of the facility as well as the officers inside.
And so what's that going to do?
That means that DHS has to put more agents out there to guard the building rather than doing deportation operations.
While the people on the ground, like these rioters, might be low IQ, stupid retards, the people who are, let's say, the puppet masters behind the scenes, the funders, the actual operators that are planning this stuff out.
Unfortunately, those people are not stupid.
They are evil.
They are evil.
So they are good at this.
They know exactly what they're doing.
It's sort of like SignalGate.
We saw these screenshots and these manuals that came out.
Maybe I'll, during the break in a few minutes, I'll call Cam Higbee trying to get him on the show.
For anybody that doesn't know, I do all these shows on the fly because the news changes so quickly and erratically.
You never know where I'm going to be at.
But we saw this stuff where they were talking about how it would actually potentially be a good thing if one of their militants were murdered because it would spur activity and flashpoints.
That's exactly what they want.
We've got it in writing now.
We've been saying it for weeks and weeks and months and probably a year now.
And we were proven right by the internal documents that weren't supposed to be leaked, but we ended up gaining access to anyway.
We should not be having to see videos like you're seeing right now, what you just saw on the screen, of the dumpster being pushed in front of the federal facility out there, the ICE facility in Los Angeles, and also being set ablaze.
They blocked the exit.
They were trying to kettle the agents inside.
They tied that chain to the door.
They were going to rip it open and they were going to try to barge into the facility.
There weren't nearly enough officers there to take care of that threat.
And then obviously Gavin Newsome, you know, he's not going to do anything about it.
They already caused $100 plus thousand dollars worth of damage to the facility.
It got to the point where, again, it embarrasses the federal government.
It makes the federal government look weak.
And that's part of the plan as well.
That's what Gavin Newsome wants.
That's what Karen Bass, that dipshit mayor out there in Los Angeles, wants.
And unfortunately, on that front, they're doing a good job.
I don't think they're the most intelligent people in the world either, to be totally honest with you, but it doesn't take a genius to realize how letting the facility be destroyed and stuff is actually, you know, it's embarrassing to your enemy.
You know, in Los Angeles.
And Greg Bovino.
I actually, I want to play this video because Greg Bovino, chief of the El Centro sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, his commander op-at-large title is up in the air, still investigating that and trying to figure out, you know, what's actually going on behind the scenes there because it seems to be some internal drama within customs and border protection, which is technically over top of border patrol,
as well as DHS in the White House.
The strategy is changing.
Greg Bavino, you'll see right here, this was his reaction last year when they tried to pull these same stunts in California, in Los Angeles, actually, in particular, Paramount, California.
And this is how he reacted to it to his men.
Bavino didn't know he was being recorded at the time.
So you've got the real deal right here.
unidentified
Quick number five, guys.
That we're here on making Los Angeles.
That we're here.
Actually, that's that's that's that's not the right.
You're not going to assault Border Patrol in the streets.
You're not going to intimidate and de-arrest people.
Why is that controversial to anybody?
And luckily, President Trump, we'll get into this a little bit with TJ here and just TJ Roberts in just a few minutes here.
Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison tried to sue President Trump to get him out of Minnesota, to get Bovino out of Minnesota, to get Bovino's men out of Minnesota.
And it didn't work out very well for him.
We'll say that much.
But right after the break, we're going to be talking about Don Lamon.
It's not a snowy hellhole like Minneapolis, though.
So I'm not complaining too much out here.
It's kind of beautiful today, besides the fact that there's a snowcane or something that they're calling it on the east coast of North Carolina.
But obviously, one of the biggest stories of the week, something that I got this close to jumping up and down for Don Lamon, Don Lemon, whatever.
Both names are stupid.
I don't even exactly know how to pronounce it because, you know, who cares?
Arrested.
Surprised him in the middle of the night at his hotel in Los Angeles.
A fantastic way to do it.
Surprising, showing up.
Pam Bondi sent out U.S. Marshals to go and nab him at like midnight out there in Los Angeles at his hotel and drag him to the jail.
The best part about it was that meant that he had to stay the night in jail rather than being arrested in the morning, being able to see a judge and being released the same day.
Now, if you know anything about Don Lemon, he probably enjoyed his night in jail.
That's all I'm going to say.
Actually, I'll say more.
I can only imagine how much he enjoyed that cavity search.
He openly on camera on his own live stream was admitting to colluding with these people.
Openly admitting it.
Cook number 21, guys.
Where he's talking about turning off the camera to make sure that the location of the attack wasn't going to be made public because he didn't want to ruin the operation.
He knew about it in advance and wanted to make sure that you weren't allowed to know about it in advance because he wanted to make sure that it was successful.
I'm going to bring in TJ Roberts here, friend of mine, my personal attorney, as well as a man that is just kicking ass in the Kentucky state legislature.
Any first-year law student can tell you ignorance of the law is no excuse.
What happened here is one of the most egregious instances I've ever seen of an attack on the Christian faith.
And I'm saying that as someone who almost went to jail for going to church because our lawless governor in Kentucky thought that he had the authority to tell people when and when, when and where they cannot worship their God.
And Don Lemon absolutely played a role in that.
He coordinated it.
He knew exactly what they were going to do.
He admitted as much on camera on his show.
He's guilty, not only of the FACE Act, but he is guilty of the Anti-Ku Plux Plan Act.
And he deserves to get the maximum sentence that he could get on this.
Yeah, so conspiracy to deprive folks of their basic rights, particularly the right to worship.
It carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Obviously, from there, you have the federal sentencing guidelines.
But the reality is this: egregious breaches of the rights of Americans deserve serious penalties.
And this warrants an above guideline sentence, correct?
He has no federal criminal history.
But that said, when you look at the seriousness of what he did, where there were hundreds of people terrified by that mob going into their place of worship, Nick, if you did that to a mosque, there is no way you would be out on bail.
They would hold you without bail.
They would give you the maximum sentence.
Would not take a plea deal, and I hope that the Department of Justice contemplates that.
How would the left treat someone for doing this at a mosque and treat those folks the exact way that Joe Biden's administration would have treated someone who did the same exact thing to a mosque?
Yeah, I mean, like, but there's uh, you don't even have to like be theoretical about it because I know what happened when I was just outside of a mosque.
I didn't even know I was outside of a mosque in Minneapolis.
And it ended up being that that's when the police told me that I needed to, that I had no business in the area and that I needed to leave that area because I was recording on a sidewalk in front of a mosque.
Didn't know it was a mosque, wasn't marked very well.
I can't read Arabic or Somali or whatever the gibberish is that they speak.
Uh, and you know, but but you see this video here, we don't need to play it.
People have probably seen it at this point many, many times.
Look at how aggressive this guy is.
You have the pastor like backing up, you know, and like you see him put his hand out trying to get Don like away from him.
He was asked multiple times to leave and he didn't leave.
You see in the indictment here where they're talking about how there were parents that were terrified that their children were trapped downstairs.
I thought there was a shooting going on because it was just so chaotic.
And this guy seems to be an active participant in that's not journalism.
Like, well, this that is straight up, but he is a co-conspirator in this attack.
I mean, does and TJ, it seems like he deleted a lot of these videos at this point.
There's another one.
I could play 15 of them if I wanted to, of him actively covering for them and using the term we, we, we, we.
I mean, is there anything else that the DOJ needs to get a conviction here?
TJ, I just want to make clear for the, I'm going to bring you back after the break as well, but I want to make clear for the audience here that the district of Minnesota, the federal district, is all of Minnesota, all of Minnesota.
If you take out just the Twin Cities, almost half of the population voted for President Trump in the 2024 election.
So there is a real chance that, you know, a lot of these people that were in that or are similar to the people that were in that congregation are going to end up on a jury here.
So it's not out of the question that he would be convicted, but we'll get more into this right after the break.
And talking about Los Angeles again, like TJ is fantastic on the legal issues of any kind, very dynamic person, very, very intelligent.
I think that he's going to go pretty far, guys.
Like, don't sleep on TJ.
He's also got a fiancé now.
So don't sleep with TJ either.
I want to say we saw a lot of videos in the first segment when I was just riffing for a while of these flat out insurrectionists out there in Los Angeles destroying the federal facility.
LAPD not coming in to help until after 100 or six figures of damage has already been done.
And President Trump put out a statement saying there will be no spitting in the faces of our officers.
There will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars.
There will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, at our Patriot warriors.
If there is, those people will suffer an equal or greater consequence.
Law and order.
That's what America wants.
And that's what America is getting.
Now, in addition, though, TJ, Trump directed DHS Secretary Noam not to assist with riots in new cities unless help is requested.
Resources instead go a dedicated DHS deportation mission as well as aggressively defending federal property.
But an interesting part of the statement here: President Trump mentions that it is their obligation in California and Los Angeles and such to also protect federal property, buildings and parks and everything else.
Is that an argument that's going to be able to hold up?
What do you think Trump is saying here?
Do police and governors and such, do they have an obligation to protect property too?
Yeah, so Nick, that depends on the state, generally speaking, when it comes to protecting state property or private property.
That's generally within the 10th Amendment.
The difference, though, is that people have an obligation to protect federal property.
When you're looking at federal land, that is within the plenary authority of the federal government, so much so that the federal government has its own police authority, and there's decades upon decades of case law to support that proposition.
And you do not get to destroy federal property without a federal response.
That is plain and simple.
For state-level stuff, that's up to the state governments.
I just passed legislation on Friday to protect Kentuckians from riots because Minneapolis and Louisville, they're twin cities.
What happens in Minneapolis will happen in Louisville when it falls out.
But that said, I think that there's a sheriff in Brevard County, Florida who put it best: you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and then jail.
You try, you spit on one of us, you're going to the hospital and then jail.
You throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our officers.
We're going to call your family to let them know where to collect your remains because we'll kill you graveyard dead.
And the reality is this: this is a life or death situation, not only for our citizens, but for our nation.
Our sovereignty is at stake, and we have to put our foot down to be abundantly clear that no matter where you're from, if you are here illegally, you are going home.
And that if you are going to obstruct that, we are going to do everything that we have under the law to make sure that our agents and our folks who are enforcing our basic border laws that are much lighter than every other liberal nation that these people seem to admire are enforced.
That is common sense, and it's something that we must do if we are to continue to have a nation for our children and our grandchildren to enjoy.
And so, you see, these all of these Democrats and stuff that are trying to pass these laws now to require ICE agents to wear or not wear masks even, like have to openly expose themselves to the public.
John Fetterman came out this morning, actually slammed that idea.
And so, TJ, basically, the question that a lot of people have is that because California passed a law saying that they have to, that federal agents or police in general weren't allowed to wear masks.
Is that something that can be enforced on federal agents?
So, Article 6, Section 2 of the United States Constitution makes clear that when the federal government is acting pursuant to our Constitution and federal law, that's the supreme law of the land.
You have what's called a preemption doctrine.
State governments and local governments cannot obstruct and hinder federal agencies in the execution of their legitimate duties.
And there's a clear legitimacy to enforcing our borders.
And look, like to John Fetterman's point, I was presenting on a bill in November to bring in the 287G program to make sure state and local government can enforce our borders here in Kentucky.
And a Democrat representative, the same one that said that we should be teaching white children to be ashamed of their race, was talking about masked ICE agents.
And my response, I doubled down on it.
I said that I wish that we lived in a world where our law enforcement officers could do their job without getting doxxed and without their families getting threatened, but that's not a world we live in.
So, no, local governments and state governments cannot tell federal agents how to do their job.
As long as they're acting pursuant to our constitution, as long as they're acting pursuant to federal law, they're within their right to do it.
And if you don't want ICE agents to wear masks, then don't dox them, then don't obstruct them, don't assault them, don't spit on them, don't create the, don't be an arsonist and then complain about the heat.
Yeah, and I can confirm that like Greg Bolvino, for example, his family, because Bovino doesn't wear a mask, right?
He goes out there and he's one of the few that refused to wear a mask because he's a guy that leads his men into battle.
He takes a brunt of the criticism and the hate.
And honestly, he's out there or was out there every single day in Minneapolis, knowing that that day could be his last because he was exposing himself to any of these delusional people that could go out there and just take him out.
So what I also want to get into with you a little bit, because there's this argument over, okay, what do what obligation would something, like say Tim Waltz or Mayor Frey, they've been making this argument that, oh, well, administrative warrants for illegals don't count.
They should all have to have judicial warrants signed by a judge in order to be deported.
There are 20 plus million on the low end of these illegals here that have to go.
Is there any way that we're going to be able to get judicial warrants for all 20 million of them?
When you look to the due process clause in the Fourth Amendment, it mentions that there has to be a warrant before you can enter someone's home.
That being said, there's decades of case law that makes clear that administrative warrants, and particularly with the immigration enforcement area, it's totally acceptable.
So it's a novel argument to say it has to be by an Article III judge.
And it's interesting to see the left, the people that despise the notion that we have separation of powers, going out and now defending it.
And, you know, I just wish there was some consistency with it.
That said, they set the precedent that administrative warrants are sufficient.
And when we look to how many people are there, there's an article four guarantee in our constitution that all levels of government will guarantee against an invasion and will defend against that.
And I won't tell you exactly which part yet because, you know, let me get out of here first so that I can then you can figure out which part I was in.
But anyway, I want to go back to Minnesota, just not physically go back to Minnesota for right now, anyway.
I want to talk about Minnesota, though, and the effect that we've seen over the past week of Greg Bovino being shipped out of the Twin Cities after this militant, leftist militant, violent leftist militant, was shot by Border Patrol out there.
I mean, that video that probably most of you have seen at this point of him going up and screaming in the faces of Border Patrol agents or ICE agents, DHS agents to assault me, assault me, MFR, assault me, motherfucker, you know, and then spitting on them and then kicking the taillight out of the vehicle.
It was that guy.
That was the piece.
Oh, he was just a nurse.
Oh, sure, of course he was.
It's always like just a nurse or just a Maryland dad or just whatever.
But there's been a lot of controversy around taking Vovino out of there and what the effect has been.
Has there been a chilling effect?
Is the Trump administration surrendering?
How are people on the ground responding to that?
These activists and these operatives and these militants, really, how are they responding to it?
And the perfect person to respond to that question or those questions is Dustin Gregg, an independent journalist, fantastic, one of the best out there in Minnesota, helping to expose all the fraud, all of the just the honestly, he's the reason that I knew that Minnesota was really a problem to begin with.
But if you take Tim Waltz out of the picture, you know, it was this guy that really brought a lot of things to light here.
Tim Waltz was just very obvious about his, I mean, he's a retard, so I mean, he's not very good at hiding things.
But Dustin, welcome to the show.
Appreciate you being here.
That's the question that everybody, that's on everybody's mind.
Are these, do they feel like this was a win here?
These leftist militants and operatives and activists, rioters, do they feel like they have a win?
And that's ultimately why, you know, guys like me and you felt that this wasn't necessarily the right decision.
At the end of the day, these militants don't care.
They're still protesting and rioting outside these hotels.
They're still trying to figure out where ICE agents are.
They're still trying to attack them as we've seen now.
We're spreading to Los Angeles.
And like what I've always said from day one is this isn't even new with MetroSurge.
This started back in June of 2025, Nick.
That is when these activists actually came out with Omar Fateh and why a lot of people pushed back against him and voted for Frey.
Even Republicans did to avoid that, because at that time, Omar Fateh was actually pushing back against ICE agents, against HSI and DHS during drug busts and human trafficking raids that ended up seizing 900 pounds of crystal meth off the streets.
They were still pushing back against these agents at that time, almost a year ago.
So they don't care whether Greg Bovino's on the ground or whether it's Tom Homan on the ground.
They're still going to be militants.
So at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what we end up doing.
At the end of the day, I think we just have to go accomplish the mission.
And Greg Bavino was doing a fine job at that.
But at the end of the day, yeah, we handed them a scalp.
And I don't think that's necessarily the best thing, but that is the decision that's ultimately been come to at this point so far.
I don't think that it should be a controversial question to figure out or a very difficult question to answer as to how these people respond to overwhelming force and knowing that there's risk involved and they probably won't win the battle when you look at places like Florida, where you see none of this ever in any city in Florida, right?
Because they know that they can't get away with it.
They know that they will be met with overwhelming force, both on the state, local, and federal level.
And of course, it seems like out in the Twin Cities out there that you have Walts and the mayor of Minneapolis in particular that have just clearly and aren't hiding it.
They've taken the side of the rioters out there.
And I mean, do you think they would respond differently if you, you know, overwhelming force from the federal government, you know, Insurrection Act?
And quite frankly, we already see the example right now, Nick.
Notice how the farthest they've gone out to this point is Maple Grove, Minnesota, where they assume Bavino was in for one night over at a hotel there.
The farthest they've gone beyond that is Rogers, Minnesota.
Now, why is this significant?
It's because those are border cities of Hennepin County, where we have these far leftist prosecutors who will let these people go if they go and riot, if they go and do these things.
But the moment they cross over the Crow River into Wright County, it's a completely different ballgame, Nick.
Our prosecutors are going to hold them accountable.
Our sheriff has already personally let me know if there's any of that crap out here in Wright County.
They're going to actually meet them with force and they're going to shut that down.
That is just simply not going to happen when you leave Hennepin and Ramsey County, Minnesota.
We're going to actually push back and even some smaller like southern counties there that share border.
But the moment you go anywhere north or west of those county lines, you're going to be met with force, even in the state of Minnesota.
And there's a very specific reason why they haven't actually crossed those county lines yet.
Yeah, and it seems like even when I was in Louisiana, New Orleans, and Shreveport, all different cities, both of them, by the way, are blue cities.
They were still enforcing local laws, enforcing traffic laws on these people so that they couldn't go around school buses the wrong way down a one-way, around a blind corner at 80 miles an hour.
You'd get pulled over for that in Louisiana, anywhere in the state, because what they were doing is they would just have all they needed was one or two state patrol vehicles behind the convoys, and that was it.
I got pulled over for turning right on red without fully stopping.
You know, like it, it's and that was it.
So they were able to conduct operations down there without massive brawls in the streets every single day.
And is it fair to say that if they were doing that up there, that you wouldn't have seen this Alex Freddy guy being, you know, as hostile and militant as he was and getting himself killed?
Well, I think there's no question about that, Nick.
And more importantly, and frankly, what a lot of the audience doesn't know is me and you were texting throughout this process and actually they labeled you the criminal throughout your process here in Minnesota.
You were letting me know like photos and videos like, oh, look, the cops are following me again because they had put a tag on your license plate.
They were labeling you the criminal at the time, which is absolutely insane.
But yeah, it's completely different flipped priorities here in the state of Minnesota.
Obviously, the state patrol isn't going to necessarily be our friends in this scenario, but at least some of these counties throughout the state, I mean, there's 87 of them, 85, 84 of them are pretty straightforward.
They will actually push back on you on this stuff.
But at the end of the day, yeah, we need the federal government to step in.
That's going to be a big benefactor here.
And as well, even just recently yesterday, we actually saw a federal judge who actually was appointed by Biden side with Minnesota here recently.
MetroSurge went through the courts and ultimately that judge, a Biden-appointed judge, said, yeah, this is unprecedented.
And he threw Keith Ellison's injunction out.
So clearly we have case law.
We have the Supremacy Act.
We have all these things going in our favor.
Why don't we actually just move forward and go through with this?
Because at the end of the day, in that ruling, they had stated to throw out the injunction that absolutely, when you're a sanctuary state and none of your local municipalities and county authorities are constantly pushing back against the federal government, they absolutely have a case and a right and an argument here where they would need to send in thousands of agents because simply put, local authorities and state authorities aren't actually helping them.
And that's providing, we need to provide more resources to actually make up for that.
I won't play the video right now because we don't have don't have enough time on the show for that.
But with Tom Holman coming in there and saying that if just the local jails will just cooperate with ICE and hand over the criminals, I don't know why that, and actually I know they don't because so they're citing these poll numbers, right?
This is what the politicians and the Republican politicians seem to be worried about right now, where the media out there is asking Minnesotans questions, all of Minnesota, not just Minneapolis, St. Paul, asking them, are you satisfied with the job that ICE is doing?
If you ask that to both Republicans and Democrats, on the Republican side, you're going to get a lot of people that are going to say no, because we want more arrests.
And then on the left, I mean, obviously they're just all going to say no because they don't like ICE.
They don't like President Trump.
You know, your thoughts on that?
What are the general people outside of the Twin Cities?
Well, even statewide, even in the Metro, the polling actually shows a majority of Minnesotans, even in deep blue Hennepin County, believe local and state officials should be working with ICE.
Now, they disagree with the tactics right now.
But also, Nick, frankly, we just need to reframe this.
In this last session in the last year, 2025, in the spring, we actually had Democrats in seats where they only won by 15 votes, where their constituents were beheaded, beheaded by illegal immigrants.
And then Republicans pushed forward legislation to force county authorities to turn evidence over to ICE in these situations when they are found to be illegal and they commit crimes.
Democrats voted that bill down.
Frankly, Republicans need to go on offense and bring these facts forward to the voters because if those facts were brought forward, we would win.
