For purposes of calling 911, it doesn't.

You know, I want our police officers spending their limited and valuable time keeping people safe, driving down murders, arresting carjackers.

doing all the basic stuff that any police officer would need to do on a daily basis.

I don't want him spending a single second hunting down some father who just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12-hour shift, who happens to be from Ecuador.

That guy makes our city a better place.

And so as far as what is the line,

Look, if you committed a murder or you shot a gun, I don't care where you're from.

I don't care who your parents were.

There are consequences for that.

But I don't get the sense of spending limited resources on immigration.

So there's parts where we are involved and there's parts where we are not arresting that criminal.

We are involved and we will work with federal agencies to arrest that criminal.

Now, remember, the whole concept of deportation is on the civil side.

But we will work with federal agencies to get a guy that has done bad things, murders, carjackings, whatever it might be.

We at the city, however, don't control the jail.

So the whole concept of the- Oh, interesting.

That is the- Kennepin County, yeah.

Kennepin County runs the jail.

That is the jail.

And then the state, who has provided quite a bit of information recently about how they actually do work with immigration and ICE to provide, to not let murderers back on the street, that's through the state.
