It was coming from Republicans saying this looked too chaotic.

So they reversed course.

They put in Tom Homan.

They sort of

cut off the chain of command that had already been there in Minnesota.

Democrats in Minnesota are saying, we stood up to ICE and we won.

We drove them out of our state.

I think it's going to be extensive.

You saw immigrants, even citizens of foreign descent, staying home, not working because they were afraid of ICE.

And when people don't go out, it means far fewer people are going to restaurants, going to bars that will take time to recover.

Thank you.

Our sources are telling us that we should read this as a pretty clear turnaround in strategy.

Tom Homan was long a voice in the administration of let's keep ICE operations targeted at specific people.

Let's go after mainly criminals.

And that was a less popular view for a while.

What you saw in Minnesota was what the administration was going for, these big attention-grabbing sorts of operations.

I think what we're going to see are fewer of these large street operations of these roving patrols of agents looking for people to arrest.

I don't necessarily think it means ICE is going to stop arresting people in Minneapolis.

There was a huge protest on Friday.
