His defenders said he had every right to open fire.

That's why we're here.

The Press Sir, President, please use your executive order to halt deportations for all 11.5 undocumented immigrants in this country right now.

I think there's a sense that Republicans in Congress are very worried about how this might affect them in November.

You're seeing a lot of people who would usually be silent when it comes to the Trump administration's immigration policy, saying they need independent investigations.

I think perhaps the most striking thing I heard this weekend was James Comer, who's the chairman of the Oversight Committee, saying that he thought it was time to get ICE out of Minneapolis.

And Comer, not usually a guy to break from the administration.

You have someone like Andrew Garbarino, who's the chair of the Homeland Security Committee in the House, who is usually in lockstep with the administration.

He's also saying that he wants a hearing on this.

So I think you're starting to see Republicans get a little worried.

and that the optics of this are not good.

Obviously they don't like what happened, but I think where they were hesitant to be critical in the aftermath of the shooting of Renee Goode, this incident seems to have sparked a lot more criticism and a lot more concern.

And I think the question in Washington as always is how long that carries forward and we'll have to see, but I think you have a lot of House members very aware that they're gonna have to answer for this at some point when they come back to Washington.

I think there was a feeling that something had to change, something needed to be done.

You know, that this is a this incident is awful.

I think the videos of this one are very shocking and perhaps as much, if not more than the the

the shooting of Rene Good, which I think was easier for whatever reason for the administration to write off.

But I think there is a feeling that Tom Homan is going to be the adult in the room, that he's going to come and kind of right the ship a little bit, and that they needed to do something to show that they were hearing the criticism and complaint.

At the same time, I don't know that I would expect a big change in the immigration policy.

I don't know that they're going to stop doing these immigration raids.
