I want us to understand that people are being pulled from their cars as they're driving to drop their kids off to school or driving from dropping their kids off from school, indiscriminate of who those people are.
Because plenty of those people have been U.S.
citizens.
Plenty of those people have been green card holders.
And I want to be really clear, even if those people aren't documented, nobody should be terrorized like this.
I want us to understand that ICE is tracking the license plates of anybody engaged in any kind of activity.
So if you are dropping off hot meals, they're tracking your license plate.
If you are walking children to and from school to make sure that they do not end up like five-year-old Liam, they are tracking your license plate.
If you are showing up at a meeting of clergy members and faith leaders, they are tracking your license plate.
And they are doing this while driving around in vehicles that do not have license plates.
ICE's vehicles are unmarked.
But everyday citizens of Minnesota, because it's happening across the entire state, their license plates are being tracked.
Philando Castile was murdered after being pulled over for supposedly having a light bulb out on his car.
But ICE gets to drive around with masks on, no badges, no identification, and no license plates.
Meanwhile, they're tracking activists and organizers at parents' license plates.
We're talking in Minneapolis about a city of 300,000 people.
And what's been reported is that 10,000 of those people have been disappeared.
10,000 of those people have been kidnapped.
10,000 families who just woke up one day and their family was gone, who went to work and who came back and the family was broken, who dropped their child off from school and they could not pick them up.
That's a lot of people in a city of 300,000.
