Overview
- White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson warned that interfering with federal law enforcement is a crime and cautioned against following advice that encourages illegal acts.
- At a Jan. 9 vigil, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld told New Hampshire clergy to get their affairs in order and prepare to "stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable."
- Hirschfeld later said he did not advocate violence or criminal behavior and framed his remarks as a call to peaceful, nonviolent resistance.
- The vigil honored Renee Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three who was shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, a killing the administration defends as self-defense as video and local officials dispute that account.
- Good’s death has fueled protests in Minnesota, and NBC News reports the Justice Department is investigating Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly conspiring to impede immigration agents.
