You know, obviously her constituency supports her and he is part of his party.

He wants Minneapolis to turn against people in their community that they see as their neighbors and their leaders and their fellow residents of the city.

He wants them to turn against them.

And you see that with his going on about the fraud.

You see that with his attempt to demonize Ilhan Omar.

He wants to divide the city against itself, and the city is refusing to accept that narrative.

I think it's what Emily has said, what the mayor has said.

We're seeing evidence that this directly sort of has to do with political retribution.

related to voter rolls.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the surge in what they're trying to accomplish with immigration on the ground in Minneapolis.

We'll do X. We'll pull out.

Yeah, I mean, those investigations have been stymied.

The Department of Justice has said they won't conduct a criminal investigation into Rene Good's death.

And with Alex Preddy, we don't know the name of the agent or agents who shot him.
