But we all agree that lawlessness and chaos and disruption that is occurring on the street needs to end.

I want to thank Governor Walz for his messages focusing on peace and his support for the Minnesota state troopers to respond to unlawful situations that put federal officers and the public at risk.

I also want to thank Mayor Fry for taking a public stance against agitators setting up barricades that block streets and endanger public safety.

and for directing the police to take those roadblocks down.

Additionally, I want to thank Police Chief O'Hara, Sheriff Witt, and various other local law enforcement for their responsiveness and efforts to maintain law and order in the streets.

We've seen a big change here in the last couple weeks.

And it's all good changes.

I'm also pleased to report that we're seeing a notable decrease on unlawful agitator activity here in Minneapolis and overall throughout the state.

This is great news for Minnesota communities that have been adversely impacted by the lawlessness and chaos in the street.

We have what we call here

In addition to taking public safety threats off the street, ICE here in this state have located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children.

Children that the last administration lost and weren't even looking for.

That's because the leadership of President Trump and these children were located.

We now have the ability to arrest criminal aliens in the safety and security of jails throughout the state at the time they're being released, like we've done in other states.

I've also directed the strategic placement of officers in certain areas throughout the states that can respond quickly to sheriffs that want to release somebody and notify us we need to be nearby so they don't hold them unnecessarily.

So we worked on a strategic plan to reassign officers in those key locations.

Arresting a public safety threat in the safety and security of a jail is safer for the alien.

It's safer for the officer.

and safer for the community.

I think we all can agree on that.
