And I would say this is one thing you could look at, and maybe Pam Bondi and her team are looking at it in Minneapolis and in Minnesota writ large right now,
If there is tangible evidence of Mayor Fry saying in some way or Tim Walz providing instruction in some way to state or city employees to obstruct ICE's ability to do their jobs, potentially you could have an obstruction charge that could be brought against Mayor Fry or Governor Walz.
This to me is one of the great questions that is out there in general, which is to what extent is there direct evidence of behavior that would constitute a crime on behalf of these individuals who are obstructing ICE?
In particular, as I said yesterday, I still think it's one of the great unexamined aspects of the entirety of the immigration era.
How in the world have we allowed the possibility of a sanctuary city to exist at all?
Federal law is supreme.
So when the president of the United States on immigration-related issues, when the president of the United States says the law of the land is this on immigration, it is undisputedly in his province of authority.
And, Buck, do you remember how frustrating this was?
We talked about it a lot.
When Biden had the open borders and Governor Greg Abbott in Texas and so many other individuals in Texas said, we've got to have the power to control ingress and egress in our state.
And they kept getting slapped down by judges who said, well, it's really more of a federal than a state issue.
If that principle applies, which it does for Biden and for Trump, sanctuary cities are not permissible under federal law.
And anyone who is allowing them to occur in theory is violating federal law and their state and local laws are covered by the supremacy clause.
And so you could bring charges in that aspect, which would be applicable, whether it's California, Minnesota, New York, anywhere in the country.
I got a mugshot T-shirt autographed by President Trump.
It is in my house.
I mean, I think that is an all-timer.
Maybe the greatest mugshot's ever been taken, by the way.
Welcome in, hour number two, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
Okay.
