But I think the question that you're getting to, which I'm not, I have not wholly answered yet, is like you're basically asking, can our cops arrest them?

From a legal perspective, yes.

From a practical perspective, to state the reality, yeah, it does get kind of hard when they drastically outnumber us and they have bigger guns than we do.

And here's the thing.

We don't want to create

Warfare in the street.

We want to keep our communities safe.

We're trying our very best to do that.

So nobody, our police officers, ICE agents, civilians, nobody can act illegally.

Nobody can.

And so we're trying to find the best way to prevent these ICE agents from acting illegally while not defending.

causing a firestorm on the street.

Am I saying it won't happen?

No, I'm not saying it won't happen.

What I'm saying is like, you know, I am in charge of keeping the peace and directing our police officers and I got to keep everybody safe.

And so I can't commit to anything.

The bottom line is we are working on every strategy that is available to protect our residents and where illegality.

is taking place, where people are being mistreated and hurt, our officers are going to be there to help the best they can to keep people safe.

Now, what that action looks like obviously depends on the situation.

Again, the goal that they're trying to get to is they got to keep people safe.
