to a simpler time in your policing where you can be focused on the reforms that you brought to the city on repairing relations between police and the community?

And in your mind, does ICE, does Border Patrol, do all these federal agents need to leave the city for you to do that?

By ICE.

Just to return to that question, can your work at its best coexist with the work of an organization like ICE?

Chief O'Rourke, thank you very much for your time.

We really appreciate it.

We'll be right back.

Here's what else you need to know today.

As massive anti-government protests spread across Iran over the weekend, Iran's president vowed to address the country's economic problems, but showed no signs of backing off a harsh crackdown on demonstrators.

That crackdown, activists say, may have killed as many as 200 people over the past few days.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is warning Iran's leaders that it could strike Iran if the regime continues to kill peaceful protesters.

The Times reports that U.S.

military leaders have begun to brief President Trump on options for such strikes.

And the Trump administration is escalating its long-running feud with the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, by opening a criminal investigation into his conduct.

The investigation centers around whether Powell lied to Congress about the scope of a multi-billion dollar renovation project of the Fed's headquarters.

But Trump's original conflict with Powell stems from his unwillingness to significantly slash interest rates as President Trump had demanded, a reality that Powell highlighted in a video released on Sunday night.
