But that's, so people who just come here in search of that life, they're treated as if they're criminals.

And that's just wrong.

And what is happening in my friend Tim Walz's state and in the cities is abhorrent on every level.

It is un-American.

And as I'm continuing to watch again, Ken Burns' American Revolution, and I think about those

Ragtag groups of individuals who banded together as patriots and stood up to this abuse of power and put us on a track to have a democracy that is held strong for 250 years and is becoming unraveled before our eyes.

So we must be the ones who stand up to this and call it out and use all the powers at our lever to fight back.

The whole crew has to go then, right?

If they don't know how to run agencies that have been run for decades before, then ICE was basically established in its current form after 9-11, yes, to protect us from terrorists, and they just don't know what they're doing.

And so we can't have this level of incompetence and an agency that's so important to our society if they did it right.

The way it's done now is just, it's a joke.

So they should clean house, kick their asses out of town and say, we're starting over.

and stop militarizing our streets with people who have literally days or weeks of training compared to the police officers that I go to their graduations.

I support our police here in the state of New York.

And they have six months of in-person training.

They leave their families and they're trained in conflict deescalation and all the other strategies you want someone to have before you give them a gun.

And I'm sick and tired of masked people roving our streets, terrorizing kids, taking kids, using them as bait.

And I'm New York's first mom governor and you start messing with kids, I'm gonna be pissed off more than anybody.

And so that's my state of mind right now.

There's an anger, but it's also leading to policies and changes here in New York as we all try to figure out at the state level how we can protect the integrity of our states and our morals and our values that have gotten us through all these decades.
