I want to come at this a couple of ways.

Number one, I think it's important just for context.

On Friday, a producer and myself went out to some of these neighborhoods when there was this general strike that was happening where a lot of businesses had closed their doors.

Some of those businesses remained open to provide community support, to provide coffee to some of these witnesses, these ICE observers, as we've been seeing pop up in the Twin Cities, people who are keeping their eye on the streets and then alerting people.

When immigration customs enforcement agents are in the area.

I talked with people who were at these different businesses who were talking about the fear that they have the concern that they have, but also just the community coming together to look after their neighbors.

I mean, there's a very strong sense of that, especially in the neighborhoods in Minneapolis where I was.

You know, even driving down the street, you would see there was a median where, you know, this is very, very cold temperatures outside.

People had a fire going in the middle of this median.

They had whistles.

There's very much this neighborhood watch feel of throughout many of these neighborhoods.

And so, you know.

Alex Pretti, as he was out that morning, was like so many people in the community that have been keeping an alert eye on what is happening in their neighborhoods.

I just think that that perspective is important to have here.

There is a community strength that we are seeing throughout the Twin Cities right now.

The reaction that we're seeing locally here...

I mean, the governor, Tim Walz of Minnesota, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, have regularly been calling on the Trump administration to back off.

On Sunday, there was a press conference that Governor Walz and the attorney general, Keith Ellison, also a Democrat, held.

They talked about the fact that when...

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the local law enforcement for the state, arrived on site for this fatal shooting.
