President Trump has tried to shake up the leadership for the federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
He's replaced the Border Patrol official Greg Bovino with Border Czar Tom Homan.
Homan said today that he is going to, quote, fix the situation there.
Do you believe it is possible to fix the situation in Minneapolis with this change of leadership?
OK, you keep shifting blame to the mayor in Minneapolis and the governor in Minnesota.
Can you tell me specifically what you need to see from that?
Well, what do you need to see from them that's specifically to fix the situation in Minneapolis?
And what are state and local officials supposed to do if they see federal immigration agents
Doing unlawful actions such as fatally shooting people when it's not in self-defense, when there is no imminent danger in that situation.
There is no weapon being wielded right in the face of the federal agent.
There are still legal requirements for when any law enforcement officer can use lethal force.
It's not just if they don't know if the person is armed or not.
Last question, going back to the federal spending package.
Democrats, at least, at the very least, they just want to split DHS funding from the rest of the spending package to keep the government open.
Do you agree with that idea?
Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, thank you very much for joining us.
That was Ron Johnson, Republican Senator of Wisconsin.
