Police are trained in this, and there's a lot of training on how you deal with protesters, how you do things.

It would be better if it were local police than ICE.

But what do you do if it's Minnesota and the local mayor says, we're a sanctuary city, we're not asking anybody whether they're here legally or not.

Someone robs you, someone rapes somebody, somebody steals a car.

We are a sanctuary city.

We're not going to tell you.

The only way you can have police is you have to bring in the federal police.

So one thing I would tell these left-wing cities is if you want less ice in your city, why don't you police your city?

Yeah, but they don't want to police their city.

Right.

I think that local police is better than national police.

But the only way you can have local police is the local police have to enforce the law.

And so they are breaking the law and having an obscure – a bizarre way of interpreting the law to say we are going to defy the national immigration laws.

So I think it would be better done by the local cities.

But if the local cities aren't going to do it, then you have to have national agents going in and it is a tragedy.

But like I say, I also have sympathy for the people that are in law enforcement trying to do a very difficult job.

You know, I don't know that I want to go too much into the specifics of it because I don't want to pass judgment like a jury would because really someone will have to go into and look specifically at every fact and every angle and every angle of camera.

So I don't like to judge criminal things that happen in our country and say, well, that person needs to go to jail or that person is innocent.

I don't know that I can make that judgment.

And then am I coloring the situation for anybody who will have to make that judgment someday on some kind of jury?
