But yeah, I think we've got a number of opportunities that we can move forward with, hopefully in the very near future, including judicial legal action.

Yeah, there are.

And let me give some credit to our police officers because they are exhausted.

They are working tirelessly.

They're getting all kinds of calls.

My friend, my family member is being kidnapped.

There's an illegitimate use of force taking place.

Not to mention, they've just got the regular day-to-day stuff that happens when ICE isn't here that they need to deal with.

And we have fewer officers per capita than we need.

And so they're doing a great job, but they're tired.

They're being put in the middle of these horribly tense situations.

And it's not like they go home to Missouri or Atlanta or Nebraska or some other state after this.

They're here.

Like these are people that are charged with keeping people safe in Minneapolis, not just for the few weeks after.

During this ICE occupation, but for the long haul.

And so, yeah, it's deeply concerning that they're getting put in the middle of it.

And at times they're even getting blamed for things that they didn't do.

We have worked so hard to generate trust between officers and community members over these last several years since George Floyd was murdered here.

And we've made huge strides.

I mean, community members, some of the most intense activists that did not like cops very much probably still don't are saying that our officers are doing the right thing.
