What do you make of this form of observation as a method of protest?
Right.
And just to be more specific, it was Vice President J.D.
Vance who said that the officer who shot Renee Macklin Good had, quote, absolute immunity, which some legal experts strongly disagree with.
You know, the government, the media, and the public are, I guess we could describe it as they're divided on what we're seeing in these videos.
You know, for one, Praddy's death immediately became a debate over how the Trump administration is describing it and how journalists, multiple news outlets, and much of the public saw it.
And the government was incredibly quick at drawing conclusions that many felt was not supported by what they saw in these videos.
How do we reckon with this huge divide, right, between what the government is saying happened and what the public can see and what journalists have confirmed?
And then you add to it this whole sort of like AI element where I think a lot of us feel sometimes quite vulnerable in terms of like wondering if we can believe what we're actually seeing.
How do you think that kind of affects this whole situation?
It seems like the existence of AI is kind of advantageous because it just keeps people possibly in a state of distrust of themselves.
Stay with us.
I want to talk a little bit more about the actual people that you have interacted with.
I mean, you've been following people resisting ICE there in Minneapolis.
Specifically, how would you describe this community of people?
You know, it's worth noting here that the Twin Cities are very racially diverse with large Somali, Hmong, and Latin American populations.
And there have been accusations that ICE has been racially profiling the people they are stopping on the streets, not only in Minneapolis, but other American cities as well.
DHS has said accusations of racial profiling are, quote, disgusting, reckless and categorically false.
And for anyone who has been hurt, the administration says it is because they have been impeding immigration operations.
The idea that the people around you are your neighbors, regardless of where they come from, regardless of what they look like.
