What I do need them to do is empower their local officials to help our local or help our federal officials out in a way where this can be a little bit less chaotic and it can be a little bit more targeted.

Like if we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives.

And so one of the takeaways is not just that the Republican Party base is somehow fundamentally flawed in a way that's unique in American political history, it's that Trump is a really bad candidate, and frankly, I think a really bad person.

Able to do their jobs without being harassed, without being doxxed, and sometimes without being assaulted.

That's totally unacceptable.

And that's one of the things that I want to send a message to is, yes, come out and protest, protest me, protest our immigration policy, but do it peacefully.

If you assault a law enforcement officer, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice is going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.

Shut up.

I want to show some support for these guys who, frankly...

are operating in a very, very tough environment.

I heard a lot of stories today about that that I think drives home just how chaotic the environment on the ground here has already gotten.

For example, did you know that within the last, I think, week or so, maybe even more recently than that, you had a couple of ICE officers

who were off-duty, who had been doxxed online, who were sitting and having a meal at a restaurant in Minneapolis when a bunch of agitators showed up, locked the door, made them feel like they were in danger for their lives, and then of course it was federal law enforcement officers who had to come up, lower the temperature on the situation, and actually get those two off-duty officers to avoid safety.

If you can't even go to a restaurant without some.

How dare you hurt my feelings, my feelings.

A very, frankly, that's crazy.

But also by some of the state and local law enforcement officials who could do a much better job in cooperating and working.

And by the way, I'm not talking about the cops who these guys on the ground.

The cops are very sympathetic to what they're dealing with.

What is happening?
