They're not doing immigration enforcement.
They're really looking at this fraud and white-collar crime.
In addition, we have about 1,000-plus ERO, which is ICE enforcement, those members on the ground who are really sweeping the city there.
And as well, we are also doing immigration fraud, high-level investigations with USCIS, which is the arm of DHS that
gives out visas, gives out green cards, but also does audits for fraud, like we're seeing in Minneapolis.
Well, I think that everyone's going into their different camps, and instead of waiting and looking at the true facts on the ground, of course, immigration enforcement is polarizing, particularly to those on the left.
But the truth of the matter is, this was the mandate that President Trump was given when he was elected into office.
The American people saw that crime was surging.
If you look at Minneapolis alone, since Governor Walz became governor,
Homicides in Minneapolis have increased 50%, but I think when you look at this particular incident, of course, any loss of life is tragic, and we pray for the deceased and her family.
But what happened leading up to this, those facts are incredibly important.
At 10.25 a.m.
Central Time,
on Wednesday, January 7th, what happened was this individual, she had been impeding and blocking in our ICE law enforcement officers.
She had been doing that throughout the day, obstructing lawful operations, which, Ben, as you know, that is a felony.
At one point, our ICE law enforcement officers then approached her vehicle and said to get out of the car.
She was going to be under arrest, and they commanded her to...
to stop obstructing operations.
That's when she would not obey those lawful commands.
That's when we see in the video, the law enforcement officer is in front of her.
