Has it worked?

I literally raised to him on the phone and people at the White House over the last few weeks, our people are not going to be bargaining chips.

OK, we need ICE out to even begin having this discussion.

And in fact, he did say 10 days ago that it would be about two weeks.

They did draw down some of the border control agents.

And then he said the next group would be ICE.

And he said in two different drawdowns.

I was actually concerned that it hadn't been announced earlier, what he had told me over the phone.

But now it is announced.

And for us, by the way, people keep asking me, what can we do to help?

We love Minnesota.

What can we do to help?

And we don't need any more cards or Valentine's cards.

We actually hope people come to our beautiful state, stay in those hotel rooms when the ICE agents are out, go to see the First Avenue where Prince got his start or the Mall of America or beautiful Lake Superior, bike when it gets warmer.

On our bike paths.

That's what we want.

We want people to come to our state and spend money and invest in our state because our economy has taken a hit.

This has been 18 million dollars a week spent on.

And all it was—and I'm sure that when the numbers are going to be shown here, we know the vast majority of the people arrested were not the worst of the worst.

They were not violent offenders.
