Now, what I do worry about, again, is if the chaos gets worse

If more and more ICE agents start getting assaulted, if other law enforcement officers start getting assaulted, that would be a real problem.

But again, we have so much federal law enforcement resources here right now.

We have so many people here that we do not want to have here.

I do not want so many ICE officers in Minneapolis right now.

I mean, good Lord, it's really, really freaking cold outside.

But they're here not even to enforce immigration laws, but to protect the people from the rioters.

That's an absurd state of affairs, and we wouldn't need it

if we had a little bit more cooperation from the Minneapolis Police Department.

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.

It's crazy and it's got to stop.

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.
