There is this agreement between ICE and local law enforcement that allows them to work together.
It's a specific federal agreement.
And so far in Trump's current administration, we haven't seen that cooperation.
So basically what Holman is saying is we need you guys to cooperate.
If we see cooperation in
then that is when we will execute on this plan to reduce the number of federal agents in Minneapolis.
And Homan's position is that this type of cooperation is a much safer route and reduces the need for agents on the street.
In the same press conference, Homan also acknowledged that things have not gone perfectly, but said the administration would not be backing down from its immigration mission, just that the administration is going to be doing it smarter.
And we'll talk a little bit more about Tom Homan in the Rumor Has It segment at the end of this episode because I know some of you had some questions about his work in the Obama administration.
But the final development that we need to cover is this new video footage of Alex Preddy from a couple of weeks ago.
The video was apparently taken on January 13th and it shows Preddy
confronting ICE agents appearing to spit at their vehicle and yell at the officers as they were leaving this area in Minneapolis.
As the agents were driving away, Pretty then kicks out the taillight of the agent's SUV.
The agents stop the car.
They get out of the car.
They tackle Pretty to the ground.
There are about five officers that are restraining him.
Pretty was not arrested.
As a result, he did walk away from the scene, but it has been reported that he fractured his rib in that encounter.
Now, I will say it is unclear what took place before that recording started.
