Well, thank you, Gavin, and thank you, Tina.

The only invasion or mayhem that's occurring is happening because the Trump administration is visiting it upon our city.
You saw that, that South Shore building in Chicago.
Middle of the night, Black Hawk helicopters.
We had ice agents rappelling out of this military helicopter down the side of this building.
It has about 130 people in it.
They were targeting a few.
I'm talking about a single-digit number of people that they said were gang members.
But the 130 people had their doors broken down, their windows broken.
Everything was ransacked in the building.
We saw pictures and video of all of it.
They took innocent people out and zip-tied their hands.
Children, I might add.
And a number of these people were US citizens and others were legal residents of the state of Illinois and the United States of America.
And yet they were held for hours.
