IHIP News — "Trump Administration Goes Mask Off Using Nazi Slogan To Defend ICE Murder?"
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Date: January 13, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan take a deep dive into the recent escalation of ICE enforcement tactics under the Trump administration, focusing on events in Minnesota. The hosts draw explicit parallels between current government actions and Nazi-era policies, sharply criticizing the administration’s rhetoric, the complicity of Republican officials, and the mainstreaming of white nationalist sentiments. The discussion highlights the murder of Renee Goode by an ICE agent, widespread abuse of immigrants and activists, and the alarming embrace of Nazi slogans by political figures. Throughout, they emphasize the dangers of normalizing such abuses, the hypocrisy of some high-profile donors, and the urgency of fighting for democracy and marginalized communities.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Police State Tactics and Scapegoating in Minnesota

• Bari Weiss (Guest host, likely substituting for Jennifer/Angie): Opens by describing the climate in Minnesota as abusive and authoritarian, targeting both immigrant communities and progressive leaders, specifically Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar.

  “Everything going on in Minnesota is about abusing the general public. It is about scaring us to death and getting us accustomed and acclimated to a police state.” [00:30]

• Blames MAGA influencers for spreading racist lies (such as the fabricated "Somali daycare centers" narrative) to rile up the base.
• Notes the widening of demonization—from minorities to “wine moms” (liberal white women)—labeling any pro-democracy activism as criminal behavior.

  “They are now demonizing every day Americans, wine moms. The insinuation with that is: liberal white women that look like me, that look like Angie.” [02:00]

2. ICE Abuses and Overt Racism

• Bari plays an audio clip describing a violent incident:
  • A legal observer, a U.S. citizen, was attacked by ICE, recalling the George Floyd case.
  • ICE agents put a knee on the person’s neck; callous and aggressive behavior noted.
• Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis (clip):
  • Shares a recent incident where ICE singled out nonwhite city workers, a blatant display of racial profiling.

  “ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the three non white employees and didn’t even bother to ask the white employee for identification... This is because we are in a blue city in a blue state.” [04:51]

3. Nazi Slogans and Propaganda in Official Discourse

• Bari highlights Kristi Noem’s use of “One of ours, all of yours”—a literal Nazi reprisal slogan.

  “It was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village…” [20:30]

• Suggests these are not accidental slip-ups, but a deliberate, escalatory embrace of fascistic messaging, connecting it to Project 2025 and Christian nationalist ambitions.

4. The Hypocrisy of Billionaire Donors and MAGA Elites

• Explores the case of Bill Ackman, a former Democratic donor turned Trump supporter, who donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe for the ICE agent who murdered Renee Goode—even though the campaign’s description is laced with anti-Semitism and targets the Jewish mayor (Jacob Frey).
  • Points out that such moves actively endanger Jewish people and align the donor with other bigots.
  • Critiques the idea that aligning with reactionaries for personal protection (i.e., on Zionist or financial grounds) is both immoral and self-defeating.

  “The hypocrisy… is so stunning. As long as we hate 7 out of the 10 of the same people, I’ll be in your gang.” [13:00]

5. Public Polling and the Normalization of State Violence

• Cites a poll finding 28% of Americans, and 61% of Republicans, justified the ICE agent’s shooting of Renee Goode—a shocking figure for what the hosts term a “Nazi style execution.”

  “This can never be normalized and we will never be on the same side of these rabid, hypocritical, disgusting white MAGA people. It is a horrific, horrific Nazi style movement.” [18:30]

• Connects America’s history of institutional homophobia and racism to current levels of support for such violence.
  • Special note given to how LGBTQ+ and minority groups are persistently scapegoated and dehumanized.

6. Minnesota Fights Back, But Risks Remain

• Minnesota is suing the Trump administration, calling ICE’s actions a “federal invasion.”
  • Reiterates that this is not really about immigration or law; it’s about terrorizing communities and testing authoritarian tactics in blue strongholds.

7. Urging Solidarity & Resistance

• Strongly reaffirms that the majority of Americans desire multiculturalism and democracy.
  • Encourages queer, Brown, Black, and immigrant Americans not to lose hope or feel alone.
  • Promises ongoing resistance and support for marginalized communities.

  “The United States of America—its biggest strength is multiculturalism. Nobody wants to live in… the cracker ass dweeb world of the Pete Hegses and the JD Vances... Even the people in the Trump administration enjoy multiculturalism.” [35:15]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On hypocrisy and complicity:

  “The mask is off on their hypocrisy. The mask is obviously on because something in them knows it’s wrong, but they want to do it with impunity.” [05:30]

• On the normalization of abuse:

  “When we learned about the Gestapo doing this, we were horrified. But also at the same time thought, gosh, how lucky we are to live in America. Minnesotans do not have that luck anymore.” [16:00]

• Call to action:

  “You are not alone. You have allies all across this country that see what happened to Renee Goode… and we will fight for your dignity, for your humanity.” [33:10]

• On fighting for democracy:

  “We will turn out a blue tsunami to save our country, to save democracy and to stand hand in hand with all of the marginalized people across this country...” [36:00]

• Closing credo:

  “The majority of Americans are evolved, enlightened, open minded human beings that embrace democracy and that stand up for the little guy. That’s an American value.” [34:50]
