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.
There was a huge protest on Friday.
Thousands of people peacefully going down the streets to protest ICE's involvement in the city.
And, you know, everybody was feeling pretty good about the response and how well managed the whole thing was.
They also closed down many businesses.
Hundreds of businesses were shuttered just for the day in sort of what they were calling a general strike.
And then Saturday morning, everybody woke up to another ICE shooting.
I mean, you know, people are angry.
They kind of feel like they've been saying something like this could happen.
