And when you threaten a law enforcement official, the test is an objective one.
Did the law enforcement official reasonably fear for their lives given all the circumstances and all the circumstances right now?
are that state officials in Minnesota are effectively putting a target on the backs of federal law enforcement with their rhetoric, with their actions, and people are getting hurt.
No, I agree.
But listen, let's talk about the timeline here.
And this, this DOJ has continued a number of investigations and secured 62 prosecutions so far convictions.
I should say there are other ongoing prosecutions going up and what you do typically in federal law enforcement, even state law enforcement, as you get the lower level criminals and then you go up the food chain.
So when there's plea agreements with these people, they have a requirement typically to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
And I can assure you,
that you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
So the rhetoric out there from my allies who are like, oh, nothing is happening, there'll be no arrests, LOL, that's not true or fair.
This DOJ has actually, first of all, sticking to the attacks on houses of worship.
We in the Civil Rights Division, under Pam Bondi's leadership, have convicted numerous people for attacks on Christian houses of worship, on beheading a statue of Mary and baby Jesus,
and thwarted several attacks.
And on the Minnesota fraud front, numerous convictions, numerous investigations.
Now we're dealing with this, and it's a target-rich environment.
And we're dealing with, frankly, some judges on the bench who slow roll signing arrest warrants, who don't agree with the politics.
and who don't frankly agree with federal law.
And so we have to then get wrong rulings and then go to the court of appeals and get those corrected.
It's just a process.
