The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is the local law enforcement body that investigates this stuff forensically, has had its access

denied.

They haven't been able to see the evidence.

They're not confident that the evidence hasn't been tampered with or, you know, destroyed in some way.

So there's a real fear here that these killings won't receive a good investigation and that the people who committed them, you know, won't be, there won't be any inquiry into what they did.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, certainly the behavior of the agents, it appears they believe they have absolute immunity just in terms of not only the people they've killed, but the way that they're treating protesters, insulting them, spraying them in the face with pepper spray.

I think protests have been very careful.

I mean, I would be more curious for Emily's take on this because she's seen more of it.

But people have been very deliberate.

I think there's been such an effort by the Trump administration to cast these protests as very unruly and violent and referencing back to the riots after George Floyd's killing in 2020.

What I saw was protesters that were very deliberate.

I mean, we're feeling lots of things, but we're very careful not to cross lines.

Yeah, I would agree.

This is not you know, they they the people out on the street are really there to observe the actions of ICE.

They're not trying to get into a skirmish with federal agents.

They might be yelling things at them, but they're not trying to start fights.

They're not breaking windows for the most part.

You know, it is what I'm seeing on the streets here is a calm, determined action.

Anger, real anger.
