I didn't expect to agree on anything.

One thing we all agreed on

U.S.

Immigration Customs Force is a legitimate law enforcement agency that has a duty to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and keep this community safe.

Like I've said many times for the last several years, even before this administration, jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities are sanctuaries for criminals.

Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals and endangers the residents of the community.

We will conduct targeted enforcement operations, targeted strategic enforcement operations.

Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals and endangers the residents of the community.

To be clear, we did not agree with Minnesota state and local officials that they would be involved in immigration enforcement.

I didn't ask them to be immigration officers.

I'm asking them to be cops working with the cops to help us take criminal aliens off the street.

What we did agree upon is not to release public safety arrests back in the community, and they could be lawfully transferred ICE.

I'll speak more about that.

I will highlight that the Minnesota state prison system under the Department of Corrections have been honoring ICE detainers.

And we appreciate that important collaboration, and we're going to expand upon that.

In my meetings with folks so far, and most importantly, the governor and the AG, the Mayor Fry, we didn't agree on everything.

I didn't expect to agree on anything.

I've heard many people want to know why we're talking to people

who they don't consider friends in administration.

Bottom line is you can't fix problems if you don't have discussions.
