But that's sort of a little, seems disingenuous a day after you call the, you say that the person was trying to engage in a massacre.

Stephen Miller called him an assassin.

Yeah.

And the video is pretty clear that none of those things are true.

And I think that's absolutely destroying the administration's credibility, not just with the people you would expect that from, progressives and Democrats, but also some Republicans and certainly independents.

There is, as you pointed out, a very interesting dynamic right now in Minneapolis where you have federal officers, local police, and the local police do not seem to trust the feds.

So the question becomes, who is investigating what happened on Saturday?

Who has the evidence?

Who is trying to run down what happened here?

Well, there's a really sharp conflict here.

The state and local officials showed up on the scene with a judicial warrant, and the Fed still did not allow them access.

And so there's a court hearing today at 2 o'clock to sort all this out.

But it's a conflict between law enforcement agencies I think we have not seen in quite a long time, especially publicly.

We actually had a series of stories after George Floyd was murdered about the MPD, the Minneapolis Police Department's blue wall of silence.

And from what I can tell these past few weeks, it's really crumbled, at least as far as talking about other police agencies, just not something you see.

And yet Brian O'Hara, the MPD chief, is out there really hitting the federal law enforcement hard.

And it's been pretty breathtaking.

There is another thing that's going before a court in Minnesota today.

A federal judge is going to consider the question of whether this deployment violates Minnesota's sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.

What do you know about this legal challenge and what it might mean for ICE agents in the streets, federal agents in the streets?
