What is the main issue regarding ICE and protests in Minnesota?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:00
Weird, though, right? Yeah, I think so. Look, I mean, here's what's weird about it, Tim, is that he knows you have to work together.
Unknown 0:06
But it is a strange thing as an individual human being. You know, he calls me the R word. He says, you know, he makes up things that I'm corrupt, like there's something seriously wrong with this guy. And then you get a call that, you know, we got to work together. That's what... and look i'm probably guilty of that too because i i call them things i just think i can probably back my my comments up a little bit but i think and this is where i am very hopeful um for the president to make that call to tell me he will look into giving us back the cases you know partnering with them and reducing the numbers um I'm not going to say I'm grateful because you started this fire. You don't get credit for putting it out after you started it.
Unknown 0:50
But I am going to say, especially in these times, that they are working for a solution. And again... I won't pretend to look into their hearts. I think I know on this. I just care that they end up in the same place where I want to end up is quit hassling our citizens, follow the Constitution, get these folks out of here and make the folks who shot Alex and Renee accountable for what they did. I don't think it's a pullback. It's a little bit of a change. You know, Bovino is very good, but he's a pretty out there kind of a guy. And in some cases, that's good. Maybe it wasn't good here.
Kyle 1:18
other cities to form groups they're calling ice watchers and that keep tabs on known and suspected DHS vehicles and then film and record encounters just as Alex Freddie was doing when he was killed by border patrol agents right here on Saturday. Today I got the chance to ride along with ice watch volunteers on the patrol and learn about what they face when they encounter federal agents. Now we're not going to show their faces to protect their identities
Mike Howe 1:42
Our drivers are two individuals who came out with us this afternoon. They told us what they've seen over the past three months. What have your interactions been like when you have been around ICE or CBP, grabbing people or out?
Unknown 2:01
Yeah, it's pretty mixed. It can often be a really volatile, high tension experience. And it just kind of depends. Matchstick, if you want to jump in at any point, let me know. But we've seen them, like, common move is wrapping their arms around people's necks and throwing them to the ground from the back. Sometimes they're just like, back up. You're saying doing that to observers?
Mike Howe 2:34
To observers, yeah. And sometimes they'll yell at you, back up.
Unknown 2:38
Yeah, they're relatively forceful, even if they're not physically forceful. But there's also been times where they couldn't care less about if we're there and aren't talking to us or just ignoring us. Look, when J.D. Vance said that government officials, that federal law enforcement have absolute immunity, a whole bunch of lawyers tipped him and said, oh, no, he misspoke. No, no, no. J.D. Vance was telling us the practical reality, which is that because they control the Department of Justice and because Pam Bondi will never open up a criminal investigation of any shooting, or any action by anyone in favor with Donald Trump and his administration. And in fact, they pardoned the January 6th folks. They pardoned Donald Trump's friends.
Unknown 3:28
There is de facto absolute immunity for at least as long as Donald Trump is in office at the federal level. Now, there are things at the state level that Keith Ellison no doubt is exploring, that the city of Minneapolis is no doubt exploring, and good for them. Good for what they're doing. But we need to understand we are on our own. The federal government is not going to protect us. The federal government is not going to investigate wrongdoing against any protester, any peaceful advocate for democracy. You know, that is why I say we're on our own.
Stephen Miller 4:00
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote that administration officials are now evaluating why the CPB team in Minneapolis, quote, may not have been following protocol set for extra personnel sent to Minnesota for force protection.
