of how the administration's deployment of ICE and the tactics being used by ICE are endangering our communities. And now they're doubling down. They're sending more ICE agents to Minnesota. They want the provocation, and this is not going to end. They're going to continue doing this, wreaking havoc in our cities. They want the confrontation.
What a horrible disservice and what a horrible tragedy. And I hope Minnesota will insist on being part of that investigation. You certainly cannot trust Kristi Noem or anything she says or does. Sadly, you can't trust an FBI investigation led by Kash Patel. Minnesota needs to have its own role in that investigation. It needs to have access to the witnesses and the evidence.
I think it's the only way that we're going to get a just conclusion and make sure that if that investigation confirms that this agent used excessive deadly force, that there are real consequences for that. Sorry, Senator, before we go really quickly, as a federal prosecutor, I got to get your take on
and the way the DOJ is going about it as someone who was a former federal prosecutor. Well, I think what they've decided to do is make sure that they go through whatever materials they have
and insulate the president in every way that they can. And they will draw this out and they are drawing it out. The idea that they suddenly discovered that there were hundreds and hundreds of thousands of more documents that were in the possession of the Southern District of New York as if they hadn't done that inventory. And look, maybe it is the fact that they, to some degree,
Just didn't want to look, didn't want to see, didn't want to find out. Now they're legally required to, and they're stonewalling. And we're just going to keep forcing this issue and pressing this issue to make sure the truth comes out. The victims deserve nothing less, and the law requires it.
