What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, January 29th, and we just heard from an adult in Minneapolis. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. I say that, Robes, because we just listened to, he's wrapping up, but Tom Holman, the new person in charge that the president has sent there. He has said some things now that makes you actually think, you know who I thought about? What was the guy they put on the ground after Hurricane Katrina? Honoré.
Yes.
It makes it seem like there's chaos. And we have an adult who's come to clean this mess up. I liked what I heard from this guy.
Look, you have been asking for and questioning where is the voice of reason? Where is the person who we can say he's in charge? He's going to unite us. He's going to make this thing happen. And we hadn't had that until now. We had folks fanning the flames, fueling the fire. The tensions weren't getting tamped down. But you know what? Hearing Tom Homan, the border czar, speak today, it was like a father figure, a grandfather figure, a whatever. But this person who you're like, you get it. You've been there, done that.
What did Border Czar Tom Homan say during his press conference in Minneapolis?
You know how to lead. And you know how to bring people together.
Even his demeanor. People have seen him. There is no emotion to this guy as he does his job. And maybe that's what's needed right now because everybody who stepped in front of a microphone has had some emotion in that voice.
I had not thought about that, but you nailed it. You actually need somebody who can take emotion out of it and get things done the way they need to be done with less emotion involved. And that is what tends to lead to the violence. So you're right. I hadn't thought it, but he is just straightforward. It's what you want. It's who you want in charge of a mess like this.
So the mess. We have several updates on the mess, including from Tom Homan. We'll tell you exactly what he said, which includes a drawdown plan. Yes. Also out of Minneapolis, another video and more arguing. There's another video of Pretty. Maybe you have seen it, but this was from an interaction he had with ICE agents. 11 days later. prior to his death. Also, an update on the attack on Ilhan Omar. We know what was in that syringe now that that person sprayed on her during her town hall. Apple cider vinegar, they say. Also, we have an update on the agents who were involved in that shooting, and also a judge seems really pissed with ICE there in Minneapolis. We'll get to all that, but first, let's start with Holman.
Robes, that's a big deal. This man came out, stepped on stage, didn't take him long. He said there is a draw-down plan in the works.
That was huge. And I love that he said, I'm staying until the problem's gone. There was something reassuring about that, saying he wasn't here for photo ops and for headlines, but he was here for solutions. And part of that solution, yes, is that there is a drawdown plan in Minneapolis, and it involves coordination and cooperation. with the attorney general, which he says he has, and with the sheriff's departments who are running some of these jails. There's a big part of going after the targeted, undocumented immigrants who are in prison or in jail right now, who have committed criminal acts.
That's a big deal. He's saying they're getting cooperation now and they have the right, according to the attorney general there in Minnesota, to go into and, yes, get those folks that are there who are illegally have been arrested. He also said they have agreed that when the justice system at least releases them out to the public, you give ICE a heads up so we can pick them up if we believe those folks are going to be some kind of threat to the community as they go out. Bro, this is cooperation. This is huge.
And it made a lot of sense. He put it like this. He said, if we know someone's being released and they are a criminal, going and sending in one officer to pick up one person in a jail, that's very efficient and without any issue. But if you release them into the community, now we have to send 15, 16 officers in.
