I hear it and see it in my community.

Same conversation that you saw from the police chief in Minneapolis saying the same thing.

Right.

It's just common sense.

Because I also know working and talking to my local police chiefs and sheriffs that not only are they understaffed, but when this deportation force comes into the communities, they are then overwhelmed.

And part of this is if we are really working to keep our communities safe, let's trust those agencies that are trained to do it.

Right.

And take the money away from these ICE agents who clearly not only are not trained, they don't care to be trained.

and they don't care that they're violating and harming individuals and or killing them.

Yeah, I can tell you very clearly from my background in working with law enforcement, those are common sense practices that our local law enforcement engage in every day to keep our community safe.

That's why.

And so a lot of the policies and protocols that we had developed in the Democratic ask were just common sense policies that our local law enforcement and state officers were already doing.

That's correct.

Why shouldn't they?

If we do not stand up against this lawlessness that we see this administration engaging in in our communities, then what is left for us?

If you carry out to the logical conclusion that this administration has created their own police force, that they're made up of individuals who don't follow normal protocols that police follow to keep our community safe and they're doing just the opposite,

and they're sending them out under the guise of immigration enforcement, what's next for them?

And the concern is the next, is they're going to bring them out around our election process?

They're going to try to claim the election is... That's what you fear is next.

Absolutely.
