As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

I'm told there will be one round of questioning, with each senator on the committee allotted 10 minutes to question Secretary Noem, which Grassley’s office says is consistent with the 10 minutes that was allotted during AG Bondi and FBI Director Patel’s hearings.

Officer Safety isn't a buzz word. It is a real and tangible concern as we navigate a complicated political landscape. It became visible viscerally in Portland, when 2 of our officers were shot and nearly killed last week. Today, the Portland Mercury didn't see fit to print much of anything about that, though. Instead, their reporter is diving deep into muckraking 2 incidents already being investigated to disparage and put 2 police officers and their families at risk.

One video shows the conclusion of an attack on officers, in which a police sergeant was violently assaulted, and assailants actively try and prevent police from taking a suspect into custody. Because Portland is the one of the most transparent and accountable agencies in the world, all force is thoroughly reviewed with proper due process. Apparently, the Mercury and some elected officials would rather smear the officers before such an investigation can even take place. This is shameful.

Another incident shows the conclusion of a long and tense conversation during a moment of extremely high emotion and stress in our community. Instead of allowing for due process to play out and hearing the entire context, a city council member jumps to conclusions and puts pressure on the Bureau to punish the officer, openly stating conclusions not proven. Commenters on these posts display the risk to our officers and their families. But apparently clicks are worth the risk, as long as the victims are cops.

Portland deserves better than this nonsense. Our public servants deserve better. Our citizens demand better. We are a city on the brink of financial fracture with fault lines forming at every intersection. I am glad to see that so far, only a bird cage wrapper has taken the bait. In the meantime, I fully condemn this attack on the human beings in uniform and the naked attempt to disparage not only them, but their families. I further note the despicable and shocking effort to identify where officers may live. Doxxing is a crime and places officers and their families at risk. I am deeply thankful for the law enforcement community and our Portland community which has supported our officers through this difficult time.

President Trump spoke with Governor Walz directly this morning and outlined a clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota:

1.) Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation.

2.) State and local law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens arrested by local police.

3.) Local police must assist federal law enforcement in apprehending and detaining illegal aliens wanted for crimes.

ICE and local law enforcement can peacefully work together, as they are effectively doing in so many other states and jurisdictions to remove violent criminals from American neighborhoods.

4.) Additionally, President Trump is calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all.

American cities should be safe sanctuaries for law-abiding citizens only — not for dangerous illegal alien criminals who broke our laws and do not belong here.

We hope Governor Walz will do the right thing and work with President Trump to keep the American people safe.

Americans overwhelmingly want exactly what President Trump is delivering: strong borders and strict immigration enforcement against the worst criminal illegal aliens, of which there are still hundreds of thousands to deport from the interior of our Country.

You wouldn’t know it from the biased media coverage, but polls show huge support for this very thing — more than 80 percent of Americans favor deporting illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes.

The most peaceful way to carry out this vital public safety mission is for Republicans and Democrats to do it together and for local and state law enforcement to work with federal law enforcement.

President Trump will never back down from his promise to deport violent criminal illegal aliens and Make America Safe Again.
