that ICE and Trump's federal agents get out of their city.
Among them in that brittle, bitter cold was Minnesota Democratic U.S.
Senator Amy Klobuchar marching with her constituents, demanding an end to the chaotic, violent surge of federal agents in Minneapolis and around that state.
Again, that was Friday.
It was less than 24 hours later when Trump's federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretty on those same streets.
Alex Pretty is the third person federal agents have shot in Minneapolis in three weeks.
He's the second person they have killed.
Amy Klobuchar has represented Minnesota in the U.S.
Senate since 2007, and she's now wearing two very important hats in the politics of that state, in addition to representing Minnesotans in the U.S.
Capitol currently.
She's also at least considering a campaign to try to become Minnesota's governor.
Last week, she filed the preliminary paperwork required to run for governor.
She hasn't announced that she is running, but by filing that paperwork, she is at least keeping the option open.
And so with Trump's federal agents forcing her state into a state of chaos, Senator Klobuchar now finds herself with a large and interesting and complex role to play as both a leader in the Senate and a potential future governor.
Joining us now live is Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota.
Senator, it's nice to see you.
Thank you for being with us tonight.
I know it's a really difficult time.
First, let me... It is, and I really appreciate it.
Go ahead, sir.
