What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics, Don Lemon's show. Obviously, we start with the breaking news. A lot of it coming out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Thumbs up, likes, all of that. But we're going to get you now to the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, holding a live press conference right now. And I'll be back with you in moments. Here it is.
Additional people at the table that have a deep commitment to the process and transparency and have run these investigations before. Then why not include them in the process? The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at the state of Minnesota has consistently run these investigations before. They have done so without bias. They have done so with a great deal of expertise. This is not some radical way out there group. This is a group that is formed by experts who understand how to investigate. Many of them have been police officers themselves. So our ask is really simple here. Our ask is to embrace the truth. Our ask is to include the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in this process because we in Minneapolis want a fair investigation.
Is it deeply concerning that this administration from the very get-go is drawing the conclusion that they may ultimately come to? Of course it is. And if you got nothing to hide from, then don't hide from it. Include local experts in the process. We got nothing to hide from here.
What happened in the Minneapolis ICE shooting and why are local leaders demanding BCA involvement?
All we want in Minneapolis is justice and the truth. And speaking of the truth, let me give you another one. I have heard countless people talk about Minneapolis, many of them who have never been here as some form of post-apocalyptic hellscape. as a place that is dangerous. Well, let me give you a statistic. 50% of the shootings that have happened thus far in Minneapolis this year have been ICE. In other words, we've only had two shootings. One of them has been ICE. We are a safe city. ICE is making it less so. We are a city of unity, but ICE is trying to divide us and tear us apart. For every one of the people that you see standing here behind me, they have more than a thousand people behind them. They have people that are committed to their neighbors, committed to integrity, committed to justice, and committed to getting the truth.
We will not back down from it. Among those that won't back down from it is the person who I'm about to introduce. His ward is right on the borderline of where this particular shooting happened. And that is council member Jason Chavez. Would you please give him a warm round of applause?
Good morning, my name is Jason Chavez. And I have the privilege of representing Ward 9 on the Minneapolis City Council where ICE murdered Renee Good. I want to let you all know that our entire community is mourning because of the inhumane tactics of ICE separating our families, forcing people back into the shadows, and the pure brutality by immigration's customs enforcement. The videos that we have all seen, yourself included, does not match the false narrative from the federal government. In fact, you can hear the words I am pulling out moments before ICE decided to take the life of Renee Good. She was a mother, a wife, and a beloved community member, not a domestic terrorist. I'm calling on Trump's FBI to allow the Minnesota BCA to have access to all the information so an independent investigation can occur.
It is important and critical to our community to have a sense of trust in this process by having an independent investigation to present to the county attorney so that adequate charges can be made. But most importantly, I am here on behalf of my entire community echoing the calls to arrest, to prosecute and fire this ICE agent who murdered Renee Good and to hold those accountable complicit in this crime. What has descended upon Minneapolis and in this state is not the American dream. It is not what the American dream is about. Our immigrant neighbors are here to work. They're here to cry for their family and to achieve prosperity. Instead, what we are seeing in Minneapolis and across the state is ICE kidnapping our family, following folks driving to work and kidnapping them, following people as they're heading to school or to the daycare, picking up our immigrant neighbors from bus stops.
