I saw one older couple, they had a framed photo of the victim and a candle.

Yesterday, I went to the scene of the shooting.

There were a lot of people there paying their respects.

I then went to a protest that I just happened to see in downtown near my hotel.

There were 300 people screaming their heads off and doing protest-y things, not always peacefully.

And then at the end of the night, there was a vigil I went to in a park that's just down the street from where Mr. Pretti lived.

Three different vibes in three different places.

There's a lot of anger.

There's a lot of sadness.

And people are out on the streets expressing that.

She said, you know, she really wants to get this done and that if she had a front burner in front of her front burner, that's what this would be on.

She made a really interesting comparison saying that there were 400 ICE or extra agents surged into Illinois and Chicago.

And here we're talking about 3,000 to 4,000 in a much, much smaller state.

Just really asking the government specifically, is there a point at which your enforcement is just too much?

What is that point?

The government lawyer just chafed at the whole idea saying, if you were going to get into that case, then you'd be down to the point of where do we put each of our agents because...

It's our purview to mobilize our agents the way we see fit.

I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe, against our law enforcement officers.
