President Donald Trump is receiving a warning from his most fervent supporters, The Washington Post reported: don't back down on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown — or we might not be there at the polls in November.

For the moment, the report noted, Trump's moves to "de-escalate" in Minnesota following multiple deaths at the hands of federal agents is more in rhetoric than actual policy.

Mockery abounded on Wednesday after Fox News host Laura Ingraham misattributed one of President Donald Trump's biggest fans as the creator of a raunchy popular song.

Ingraham made a passing comment during her interview with Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) on Wednesday night, saying that pop artist Nicki Minaj wrote "W.A.P." a popular rap song that was actually written by Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion The slip-up happened just hours after Minaj endorsed Trump's "Trump Accounts," a billionaire-backed savings and investment account that provides $1,000 for children at birth.

Things got heated on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on Wednesday as the panel tried to dissect the rationale offered by President Donald Trump's administration to justify the recent killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis.

Host Abby Phillip clashed with Joe Borelli, the former Republican leader of the New York City Council, over whether justifiable circumstances existed in the death of Alex Pretti, a nurse who was gunned down by a swarm of immigration agents in Minneapolis over the weekend. Borelli claimed Pretti put himself in danger by carrying his weapon while protesting. He also claimed that the whole situation could have been avoided if Minneapolis police officers cooperated with Trump's deportation operations.

A jaw-dropping poll conducted by Fox News left some analysts speechless on Wednesday.

Fox News polled registered voters between January 23 and 26 about what they thought of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' efforts to deport people from Minneapolis. Respondents were asked to decide whether ICE was being "too aggressive," "not aggressive enough," or "about right."

A federal judge expressed fury on Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi had gone on social media and released arrest pictures of protesters charged with assaulting federal agents.

According to The New York Times, "In a Minneapolis federal court where 16 protesters were charged on Wednesday with assaulting immigration agents, Judge Dulce J. Foster said she was 'deeply disturbed' that Attorney General Pam Bondi had published photographs of some of the defendants on social media. Judge Foster said images of people who are presumed innocent should not be shared. 'This conduct is not something that the court condones,' she said."

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board warned Wednesday that President Donald Trump is playing with financial fire.

This week, Trump declared a weaker dollar "great," but the Journal warned "he should be careful what he wishes for," as experts have sounded the alarm on what could become a catastrophic miscalculation.

A former state legislator in Colorado was convicted of four felonies on Wednesday after she faked letters of support during an ethics investigation, according to a new report.

Sonya Jaquez Lewis, a Boulder County Democrat, was convicted on four counts of attempting to influence a public servant and three counts of forgery for submitting fabricated letters of support during a Colorado Senate Ethics Committee investigation into workplace conditions in her office, The Colorado Sun reported.

Former Republican National Committee chairman and MS NOW anchor Michael Steele slammed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's recent call for a "recalibration" of Immigration and Customs Enforcement strategy, accusing him of enabling the very environment that let ICE run wild in the first place by building a massive child detention facility for them.

"I want to play Greg Abbott's response because right now he thinks there needs to be a recalibration. I wonder why," said Steele, speaking with Texas state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, who is running for the Democratic nomination to run against Abbott this year. "Let's listen to what he had to say."

A panel discussion on the latest episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" devolved into a shouting match over the actions of President Donald Trump's immigration forces in Minneapolis.

Ex-GOP operative Tim Miller was on a panel with former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Jonathan Fahey, Brandon Tatum, a social media influencer known as The Officer Tatum, and progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen to discuss the aftermath of agents killing nurse Alex Pretti. Pretti's death has sparked bipartisan outrage at Trump's immigration forces and increased calls for administration officials to be fired.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called out the Department of Homeland Security's lies about the shooting of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, during a segment on the far-right Newsmax network's "Rob Schmitt Tonight."

Paul, who has emerged as a frequent critic of some of President Donald Trump's more bizarre and authoritarian policies, specifically laid into the excuse that Pretti was armed with a legally licensed gun, and the false claim that he drew his weapon.
