Minneapolis is a safe city.

It is less safe when chaos reigns supreme.

It is less safe when families do not feel comfortable going to school or buying food at the grocery store because they're worried that their very family might get ripped apart.

It is less safe.

When we have roving bands of agents marching down the street just looking for somebody who might be concerned.

It needs to stop nationwide.
