All hell continues to break loose in Minnesota and states across the United States as Trump's Gestapo are not only killing people in this country, they have now been busted in massive coverups for their murders. They've been busted for a massive cover up in their murder of Renee Nicole Goode. Talk about that. They've been busted for their cover up of murders at detention centers. And we had previously reported how an individual was murdered at a detention center by the name of Geraldo Lunas Campos. The ICE Gestapo claimed it was a natural death. The autopsy showed it was a homicide and that he was choked to death at a detention center in El Paso. Now the Trump regime is trying to deport the two witnesses who observed the murder of Geraldo Lunas Campos. And they're going after the witnesses the same way we see Trump's DOJ now going after the widow of Renee Nicole Good. Trump's DOJ is going after people like Don Lemon who are videotaping the protests in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Trump's DOJ is going after the Attorney General in Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis, Mayor Fry, the governor of Minnesota, Governor Waltz. These are the tactics of the Trump Gestapo. I want to break it all down for you. I want to give a hat tip as well to our partners on the ground in Minnesota right now. Status coup. I'm going to share with you a lot of status coup coup footage. Make sure you subscribe to Status Coup News on their YouTube and their Substack. Subscribe to our substack as well. Help the Midas Touch Network hit 6 million subscribers. I'm also gonna show some footage that's not of Status Coup, but I'll identify what is what. And I wanna highlight some other groups that are getting some great footage of on the ground. ICE Gestapo attacking individuals, covering up murders. And we'll. Let's go through what we got here just so you can see again that this is what the ICE Gestapo look like and the Border Patrol Gestapo look like as they're patrolling the streets. You see them in their military outfits right here. And let me just be very clear. Any Democrat who votes to fund these people should not be in office right now. ICE and the Border Patrol need to be defunded and abolished. Let's be very clear about that from the outset. Uh, there have been at least six deaths thus far in the first 20 days of January at these ICE concentration camps or detention centers that we know about. There's probably more than that and there's been at least seven deaths. So basically every other day there is a murder taking place by ICE and they're covering up these murders. The most recent death took place on January 18th. A 36 year old Victor Manuel Diaz was murdered as it relates to ICE covering up the murder of Geraldo Lunas Campos, whose death was ruled a homicide as witnesses said that he was choked to death by guards and then it was covered up. Well, now we're learning that the Trump regime is seeking to deport the two men who provided eyewitness accounts of the choking of Geraldo Lunas Campos at the El Paso, Texas detention center, which differed from what the Department of Homeland Security said. Because the Department of Homeland Security is a bunch of terrorist liars. That's why. Because they lie about everything. And they're run by Kristi Noem, who lies about literally she lies more than she breathes at this point. Right. Let's go to some of the footage right here. Again, I'm focusing on the COVID up. People who are filming ice, people who are taping what's taking place. The people who are out there exposing ice. Take a look at what happens here in Anaheim where ICE agents detain a U.S. citizen. They leave him bloody and injured, they kidnap him. He was at a car wash. He was calling ICE out. He was taping what ICE was doing. Cuz ICE was harassing people with brown skin at a car wash. And this U.S. citizen's boss is like, he's a U.S. citizen. You're racially profiling him based on his skin. The agents tackle this teenager. They drag him across the pavement, they bloody him up. And it takes place right here at the Valva Veen Express Care car wash, located at North State College Boulevard in Anaheim, California. I mean, this teenager was working at the car car wash, and then he got brutalized by ice. Let's watch this. Next. I want to show you as ICE physically attacks an immigration lawyer who was standing between her and her clients. They wanted to detain her clients who were asylum seekers, and they were saying, oh, we want to grab your clients. And she was standing in front. She drove to the scene over here and was eventually able to get the ICE off by calling them out. They didn't have a warrant. They were lying. Again, the theme of this is their coverups. They lied and claimed they had a warrant when they did not. Hat tip to the immigration attorney here, Alicia via bis leave. She took this video as well. And she also wrote, if you don't like the F word more than you don't like people getting kidnapped, you may not want to watch my video. This occurred in Portland, Oregon. This is not by status coup, but I want to show you this clip. Then I'm going to show you some status coup. Here, play this clip.

A
All right. Status Coup then interviewed people on the ground in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Hat tip to our friends at Status Coup. Here you have a peaceful protester talking about the fear in the city. Play this clip.
E
There is a fear in the city. People are canceling recovery groups. People that are in addiction that need recovery. People are scared to go out. I'm having friends sending me their locations that are minorities because they're worried that ICE is going to come and take them. Good work and positive people. And we're all in. Fear City has been shut down quite a bit. There's been nobody out on the streets until now. And the fear that ICE is causing. I was out in the Whipple Building and all the people from different states, it feels like we're being invaded. Minnesota is a good state and there is a reason why they say it's Minnesota nice. We care about our people, we are not aggressive. But when they come in, they're back in the corner. What do you expect? We can't trust our federal government. Who can we trust? We can't even trust our police right now.
F
When you say, when you say, what do you expect? What do you feel like is, is the reaction that's merited here from the Twin Cities? What is left you for recourse when you do feel backed into a corner?
E
It feels like right now that the people are being backed in a corner because we are being invaded on our state and are being back. We are. People are isolated. People are not out and about and we're tired of it. What can we do? The people that we elect, why are they not defending us? Right now we feel betrayed here. This is people's life. And right now it's all about partisan politics. And right now you don't play politics when it comes to people's lives.
F
Joshua Some of those leaders, Mayor Jacob Fry, Governor Tim Walls, Deputy Attorney General Keith Ellison, were just, it's being reported, are going to be served subpoenas by the Trump administration for their resistance against the Trump administration. When you hear that, what's your reaction?
E
Partisan politics. They're playing politics when it's coming to people's lives. That's what it's doing. Mayor Fry said it very politely, but very few. Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.
B
When it comes to home security, you want to feel like you picked the system that actually keeps trouble away, not one that just tells you something bad already happened. That's why I like Simplisafe Home security. It isn't just another alarm. It's designed to help stop crime before it starts. SimpliSafe uses AI powered cameras outside your home to spot real threats and instantly alert live agents. And this is what makes it different from the rest. Those agents actually take action while the intruder is still outside. They talk to them through the camera, let them know they're being watched and, and that police are on the way. And if needed, they can blast a siren and light them up with a spotlight. SimpliSafe has made my family and I feel truly protected. There's a lot of dangerous people out there, and I'm grateful to have partnered with Simplisafe, and I know you will be, too. Other systems might give you a camera and a notification, but they need you to see the alert and handle it. Simplisafe's monitoring agents have your back even when you're busy asleep or on a plane. So they're protecting over 5 million Americans and have been named best home security systems by U.S. news World Report for five years in a row. And right now, you can get 50% off any new system this month only. It's a great time to upgrade to security that actually helps stop crime before it starts. Go to SimpliSafe.com Midas that's SimpliSafe.com Midas there's no safe like Simplisafe.
A
Next, you have a protester in Minneapolis talking about and talking to JT Citowski. This always does an incredible job. JT Hat tip. JT hat tip. Status coup. And she talks about how the Trump Gestapo are targeting the Minnesota politicians because Trump's not getting his way. And he's being a little baby about. You don't wanna submit. You're not gonna give up. No. The people are rising up against your authoritarian regime here. Play this clip.
G
I think Donald Trump is a child. I think that he is a. I think he's bummed out that people aren't supporting him the way he wants to be. I think he's reacting in a way that's absolutely absurd to be holding our government officials under some sort of, like, contempt of justice here. I think it's absolutely ridiculous, honestly. Our governor and Jacob Frey and now Callie, her, they're doing their very best to make sure that their city knows that they'll stand behind them. And that's exactly what they should be doing.
F
Does it feel like the federal government has. Has relaxed itself in any way?
G
The only thing that has changed, as far as I've seen reported at the Whipple Building, is that they're not bringing their machine guns out anymore. But that doesn't mean that they have stopped any of their chemical irritants. That doesn't mean they're not going to cause another man to become blinded by sending pieces of shrapnel and plastic flying all over the place. It is a war zone, I believe, as reported by the New York Times, the closest thing to a civil war that they've seen. So I don't think we're going in the Right direction. The right direction would be getting ice out of Minneapolis.
A
More JT Sis Dowski here interviewing a nurse. Let's play this clip right here.
H
I work in healthcare. I'm a mandated reporter. And the response to her murder by the federal government, Kristi Noem and the like, is exactly like a domestic abuser, honestly. You know, they use the Darvo tactics. They're using the exact same things. And I'm someone where I really care about my neighbors. I genuinely care about the people who I, who I treat. I'm in health care and for months I've been treating people who have had concussions from these people. I work with people who have breast cancer. And my Brown, my brown patients are choosing to stop chemo because they do not want to be abducted. They don't want to leave their afraid.
F
Afraid to go to cancer treatment because they're worried that yes, have eyes, we.
H
Have brains, don't piss on our legs and tells us it's draining. We can see this shit every day. We can see it here. And if we don't stop it from here, it's coming somewhere else.
A
And then J.T. satowski interviews the Attorney General of Minnesota. Play this clip.
D
Well, one thing I will say is that I don't make any conclusion about the guilt or innocence of Jonathan Ross. But it is inexplicable for the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to say that they will not investigate her death. For six assistant US Attorneys to quit because they're telling them to investigate the Cook family and they're not investigating Renee Cook's death. And then they won't turn the file over or at least give the state access to the file. It is completely inexplicable and it looks just like a cover up to me. And so if you're not going to do an investigation, give us the file, we'll do it. But they're saying no. So we did. So to me, I mean, that's just completely unexplainable. And it speaks to cover up and we have to denounce it and the whole world should denounce it. And so we're going to be in court on January 23rd to stop this Operation Metro surge. And we're going to do the best we can to bring justice forth. And we're going to be trying to follow the example of these completely courageous people who are freezing for the sake of our state and lifting up their voices and God bless them. And on Martin Luther King Day, they are exhibiting the true spirit of what Martin Luther King is about and I just want to say thank you to them.
A
And then status Coup was on the scene as a Native American high schooler talked about the ICE invasion. Play this clip.
I
As an indigenous student, I find it hard and difficult to go to school and live my daily life every day without fear if I would be taken away from my family and won't be able to see them for the next couple of months or weeks. Public schools are supposed to be one of my safe places where I have community and friends and family there to protect and love me as their own. But now it's one of the places where I'm most afraid of. All because of the color of my skin or if I have the most slightest of an accident is where I could be taken as a person of color in this society. An ability to have to spread awareness of what's happened about these events. Everyone, not a specific group as a whole, we have to come together as community and bring our presence every day. We have to protect one another. We have to love one another.
A
More about the COVID up by the ICE Gestapo, We've learned more details about ICE allowing Renee Nicole Goode to bleed to death. Apparently she had a pulse for about eight minutes and there was a medical doctor on scene saying, I'm a doctor, let me save her life. And the ICE Gestapo were like, no, we're letting her bleed out. They murdered, I mean, it was Jonathan Ross, but it was also the other ICE agents who let her bleed out. And so there was a press conference held by a bunch of Minnesota physicians yesterday and they were saying that these ICE Gestapo, these ICE terrorists, are preventing the doctors from administering medical care. I want you to watch this Minnesota physician talk about how the doctors, their ability to render medical aid is being interfered with. Play this clip.
J
This morning I learned for the first time through an NPR story that Renee Goode still had a pulse eight minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene following his Hippocratic oath was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone behind me here as we try to fulfill our obligation, our oath and our duty to care for the people of Minnesota. And I believe it stirs the blood of every patriotic Minnesota who knows how we treat each other in this state. So that is what we are here to speak to today as healthcare professionals.
A
And now I want to share this video with you, shows you when the Minnesota doctor was on scene to try to save Renee. Now, Nicole Good. Play this clip.
E
Can I go check a poll.
C
No, back up now. I'm a physician.
E
Can I go check a poll?
A
No, back up now.
C
I'm a physician.
E
I don't understand.
A
We got EMS coming. I get it. Just give us a second.
C
We have medics on scene.
A
We have our own medics.
G
Where are they?
C
Where are they? How can I relax. You just killed my neighbor. You caught butter in the face. You killed my neighbor. How do you show up to work every day? How the do you do this every day? You're killing my neighbors. You're stealing my neighbors. What the man.
A
And you heard what the doctor said. I'm a doctor. I want to save her. What are you doing? She's going to bleed out. Let me help her. But the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo are terrorists. They don't care. They are killers. You're seeing what they do. These are bad, evil people behaving horrifically. That's why I call them the Gestapo, because they are. That's why I compare them to the ss, because it's a valid comparison and I don't want to be gaslit. ICE and Border Patrol need to be abolished. They're not doing immigration enforcement. The Border Patrol is not on the border. Okay? They're not. I think we all agree that there can be strong borders and you can go after criminals. Fine. So stipulated. That's not what ICE and Border Patrol are doing. They are attacking communities, terrorizing people, and they're trying to create problems and then use that to justify gassing people, killing people, pepper spraying people, flashbanging people and, you know, status coups on the ground, taping all a lot of this stuff so that you can see what's going on. We can document this period of time, you know, and they're interfering with documentary. Doctors, hospitals, education there. It's horrific what's taking place. This is not what government's supposed to be about anyway. Hit subscribe. Help us get to 6 million. Thank you so much for watching. Great work. Status coup. Hit subscribe here.

Episode: All Hell Breaks Loose as Trump’s ICE Covers up its Murders!!
Date: January 21, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Theme:
A searing indictment of the Trump administration's ICE and Border Patrol operations, focusing on a series of deaths, alleged cover-ups, and the targeting of witnesses, lawyers, and political leaders. The episode is a blend of eyewitness accounts, interviews with community members and officials, and the brothers’ own urgent, unapologetic advocacy for accountability and abolition of ICE.
This episode delves into recent violent incidents and cover-ups tied to ICE and Border Patrol under the Trump administration. The Meiselas brothers report on victims killed in detention centers, the silencing or deporting of witnesses, and the intimidation of lawyers, journalists, and local officials resisting federal overreach, particularly in Minnesota. Relying on extensive on-the-ground footage from partners at Status Coup, they highlight the fear and outrage sweeping affected communities.

On Medical Aid Denied:
This episode exposes, with firsthand accounts, clips, and interviews, a climate of terror and deep injustice fostered by ICE and Border Patrol under Trump, focusing on deadly consequences, systematic cover-ups, and resistance from both ordinary citizens and public officials. The MeidasTouch brothers and their partners aim to document and galvanize action against these abuses, demanding transparency, accountability, and abolition.
