Well, look at almost any statement from anybody in the administration.

If you start with the vice president who said that they can do this, that there is no consequence, that they can violate the law.

He said that they have absolute immunity.

What does he even mean?

Immunity from breaking the law?

We know where the Supreme Court went a year and a half ago and essentially said that the president and the performance of his duties can't be charged with a crime.

But let's get away from that politics and get to the practicality of the danger that citizens and protesters and immigrants and all of us are facing, not only in Minnesota, but across the country.

And so if you go to Kristi Noem, who, as you put it, took what we can see with our own eyes and created what they used to say were alternative facts, you and I would say she lied.

Kristi Noem lied to our face and in the face of a video which is plain on its face.

So I could go on and on, but I'll pause right there.

But essentially what's happening is that agents are being emboldened by the leadership of this country.

And when you go right down the line, down to Gregory Bovino and Tom Homan, it's the same story.

They are empowered, emboldened, and told that they're going to be immune

from violating the law and we can't have that.

No, no.

An agent must have one of two things.

Federal agent, whether they're ICE or Border Patrol, must have one of two things before they make an arrest.

They either have to have a judicial warrant or they have to have probable cause.

Probable cause is different than reasonable suspicion.

Let's not get into the nuances because they don't have anything.
