How did we arrest a five-year-old?
Well, I do a little bit more follow-up research.
And what I find is that the five-year-old was not arrested, that his dad was an illegal alien, and then when they went to arrest his illegal alien father, the father ran.
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 going to 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.
The first thing we have to figure out is whether it happened or not.
And then if it happened, whether there is a good explanation or a bad explanation.
Of course, if somebody violated the law, if somebody racially profiled, if somebody violated the rights of one of our fellow citizens, that is something we will take very seriously.
Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant.
We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system.
We're never going to enter somebody's house without some kind of a warrant unless, of course,
somebody's firing on an officer or they have to do something in order to protect themselves.
No, I didn't say, and I don't think any other official within the Trump administration said that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity.
And I'm a father of a five-year-old, actually, a five-year-old little boy.
