Well, what are they supposed to do?

Are they supposed to let a five-year-old child freeze to death?

Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in the United States of America?

If the argument is that you can't arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is gonna be completely given immunity from ever being the subject of law enforcement.

That doesn't make any sense.

No one thinks that makes any sense.

But the number one way where we could lower the mistakes that are happening, at least with our immigration enforcement.

is to have local jurisdictions that are cooperating with us.

There are some very basic things that would make Minneapolis look like Memphis, Tennessee, a blue city where you do not have this chaos in immigration enforcement because the local police and the local authorities are cooperating with us.

So when you look at Memphis, Tennessee, or Austin, Texas, or any other community virtually across the United States of America,

and you don't see the same level of chaos in Minneapolis, the natural conclusion is that it's not what ICE is doing in Minneapolis, it's what Minneapolis authorities are doing to prevent ICE from doing their jobs.

And that's exactly what's happening.

A lot of these guys are unable to do their jobs without being harassed, without being doxxed, and sometimes without being assaulted.

That's totally unacceptable.

And that's one of the things that I want to send a message to is, yes, come out and protest.

Protest me.

Protest our immigration policy.

But do it peacefully.

If you assault a law enforcement officer, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice is going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.

And I wanted to show some support for these guys.
