Meet the People Fueling Chaos in Minneapolis, New York, and Beyond 

Elise McCue

•   February 21, 2026

While the national news cycle may have moved on from the chaos in Minnesota surrounding protests of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a deeper story is only beginning to surface.

What happened in Minneapolis wasn’t spontaneous, but the result of weeks of astroturfed chaos following expanded federal immigration enforcement and a fatal ICE-involved shooting. 

To truly understand how the situation spiraled, you have to understand who helped fuel the unrest and who financed the networks that kept it going. 

That’s exactly what Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll has been investigating. She joins the latest episode of “Problematic Women” to unpack the money, organizations, and political forces operating behind the scenes of ICE protests. 

And don’t think we’ve forgotten about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. About one month into his tenure, he now faces the reality of governing the nation’s largest municipal economy. 

Conservatives warned his democratic socialist promises would collide with real-life fiscal and political constraints. And now, New Yorkers are paying for it. 

Catch the full conversation with Elise McCue on her final episode of “Problematic Women”—for now. 

Enjoy the show!

Today, even with President Trump’s victory, leftist elites have their tentacles in every aspect of our government.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
