This is disgraceful.

And there are a lot of things that all of us could do better to lower the temperature, but the number one thing that I learned today is that the best way to facilitate reasonable enforcement of the law, but also to lower the chaos in Minneapolis,

would be for state and local officials to cooperate.

Now I will say, on one final positive note, I actually think that there's some hope, some reason to think that there's gonna be better cooperation in the weeks and months to come.

I think that because I've talked to some of the local officials here, I think there are reasons to believe

that these people are going to step up and actually ask the cops to protect our officers when they're being assaulted, who are going to ask the local courts to cooperate with getting criminal sex offenders out of our community.

That's a good thing.

That's the good news.

And that's something I'm going to work on when I get back to Washington.

But please, if you're a local official, if you're the mayor of this town, if you have any influence over those people, just tell them to cooperate.

Because we could have immigration enforcement operate as smoothly and without the chaos that we see in Austin, Texas, or Memphis, Tennessee, or even rural parts of the state of Minnesota.

All we need is a little cooperation.

I guarantee we're going to do the best to be professional, to respect people's rights, to not do anything that we don't have to do in order to enforce immigration laws.

It would make our officers a lot safer.

And it would make Minneapolis much less chaotic if we had a little bit of cooperation from the state and local officials.

With that, I'll shut up and take some questions.

Well, I'm proud of the fact that we're standing behind.

Alien father.

The father ran.

So the story is that ICE detained a five-year-old.
