We've got a number of organizations here, both in Minneapolis and St.

Paul, and I've been privileged to speak with their leaders and ask about that same question.

There is frustration that they are not allowed to help.

And that is part of Minneapolis's sanctuary policy, that their local police are not allowed to assist with these ICE enforcement missions.

And really, that makes things all the tougher.

I had one officer say to me, you know, we put life and limb on the line to go and arrest or detain a criminal.

And then we let them out and somebody else has to then go put life and limb on the line to arrest that same criminal.

It doesn't make sense.

It's inefficient.

It isn't working.

And it's leading to utter chaos.

You mentioned fraud, and definitely want to ask you about that before we let you go.

Multiple investigations already, some convictions on this.

The numbers are completely stunning, at least 9 billion.

I heard a far higher number recently.

What have you seen personally in terms of the fraud, and what do you hope to see in terms of these investigations?

Well, what we've seen is Tim Walz understand that his attachment to this fraud has made him unelectable for a third term.

And so he's withdrawn.

And that, to me, is very clear proof that he knows how bad this crisis is.

We're talking about, like you said, upwards of $9 billion of taxpayer money that was supposed to go to children.
