He says the operation has gone too far and people are living in fear.

He calls it an unmitigated disaster.

There's even a video that Mattel says he can't support what he calls retribution against Minnesota.

And I do want to note, too, that Mattel's firm has represented police officers in prior shooting cases, and he has provided legal support to Jonathan Ross.

That is the ICE officer who fired the fatal shots at Renee Macklin Good back on January 7th in Minneapolis.

And I think it's important, too, to Domenico's point about the makeup of the state of Minnesota.

Just look at the Minnesota legislature.

It is tied between Republicans and Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

And in the Senate, Democrats have a one seat edge.

And I should note, too, that the Republican speaker of the House, Lisa Damuth, she is actually running for the governor's race on the Republican side.

So very interesting when you think about just how close this state is at the state level.

I think what at least, you know, just from covering locally here and not covering other cities where there has been the heightened presence, you've really seen this network come together of ice observers, people who are regularly out with their whistles.

And are pretty relentless.

I mean, I was talking earlier about how, you know, I was out on Friday and there were people just out patrolling their neighborhoods.

And we've even seen the head of Border Patrol, Greg Bovino, talking in press conference about how Minneapolis resistance is much more organized.

And so it's a group of people.

It's a community that is very well organized to continue to push back against what they're seeing happen across across the Twin Cities.

And I should note, too, that Secretary of State Steve Simon, who is in charge of elections in the state of Minnesota, I was talking with him yesterday, and he said that he will not allow the U.S.

Department of Justice to access the state's voter rolls.

Over the weekend, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota on Meet the Press said that she didn't plan to vote for the DHS funding.
