having to wait two or three months to try to get your case worked out is, is, is torturous to people.
So a lot of people are considering deporting themselves, which I'm sure is the intention.
And it's just, you know, families here are having trouble getting in contact with their family members who are detained.
All of it is very, there's not a lot of due process.
Yeah, I don't see a way for the city or the state to hasten the end of this in any way.
I don't think there's anything they can do.
And I think that's something that Fry was reckoning with.
I mean, they have a lawsuit that's working its way through the process of federal court proceedings.
So the city and state officials in Minnesota are suing the Trump administration for an immediate stop to this surge of agents.
And they've made several arguments about why this is detrimental to the people of Minnesota.
And the federal government was just able to respond to that.
And so now I think the judge is sort of working her way through a decision and getting closer to doing that.
But outside of that lawsuit, there's really nothing that these โ
government officials can do.
Of Trump.
And so Trump and Fry finally spoke.
And... How did that go?
Apparently... I mean, Fry's account is that it was a productive conversation and that he very forcefully said, this needs to stop.
And, you know, people are suffering.
I think he was probably trying to make the argument that this is not a popular thing.
