Again, the Minneapolis Police Department, my understanding is that the actual beat cops on the ground, they would love to help out, but they're being told by somebody, I don't know if it's Mayor Frey, they're being told by somebody not to cooperate at all.
What kind of a person tells their local police
Don't protect somebody if they're being assaulted by a rioter.
Well, I think your question assumes something that's not necessarily in evidence, which is that when there are American citizens who have been caught up in some of these enforcement operations, very often it is people who have assaulted a law enforcement officer.
They're not being arrested because they violated the immigration laws.
They're being arrested because they punched a federal law enforcement officer.
That is a totally reasonable thing.
Now, to the accusation of racial profiling,
You know, look, it's something that we take very seriously.
We will take accusations of racial profiling back to Washington.
We'll certainly look into them as they come up.
Then the local officials say, oh my God, these guys are doing widespread targeted enforcement operations when in reality, we would love to just go to one house.

The first thing we have to figure out is whether it happened or not.
