DHS Launches Largest Twin Cities Immigration Crackdown (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Right where I'm standing earlier today, DHS arrested a man, and what you see in the social media video that DHS tweeted is teams of agents in tactical gear coming through this door. And with them was DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. They say the man inside is wanted for murder, wanted for sexual assault, and has other crimes, which include robbery and extortion. Throughout the Twin Cities area, DHS says there are 2,000 agents. Again, they say this is their largest immigration crackdown to date. And what we're seeing on social media so far is users saying that they are capturing video of ICE actions in the moment. We're reaching out to DHS and surrounding law enforcement to learn more about those incidents. This all comes as Governor Tim Walz announced that he is not running for a third term after there was a viral video that launched a social media firestorm, and he went through major allegations where people said he did not do enough to stem the tide of fraud that has plagued Minnesota for many years. His critics said that was his responsibility, and he did not do enough to stop it. As we move forward, what we're expecting here is U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Greg Bovino to come to the Minneapolis area. We have not seen these large-scale shows of force yet, but that could change when Commander Bovino comes, because that was what we saw in Charlotte and New Orleans and Chicago. And so we are keeping an eye on that. Moving forward, what we're expecting is more Minnesota lawmakers to go to Capitol Hill, where they're going to answer questions on fraud. Again, DHS says that this is their largest crackdown yet.
