00:00As a result of all this, Donald Trump is actually reshuffling his Minnesota operation.
00:06So President Trump is now sending Tom Homan, who is the so-called border SAR, to take the lead here.
00:13Who is Tom Homan? And do you think, Greg, that this was for the best?
00:19Yes, I think it's a great idea because I think Kristi Noem was, you know, again, went out of the gates a little bit too quickly without getting the details.
00:30With some of those comments and some of those statements.
00:32And so Tom Homan has been in this business for a long time, you know, this specifically in immigration enforcement.
00:41So he worked for President Obama. President Obama gave him a Congressional Medal of Honor.
00:48I think I think that was the specific title, but a medal for his service.
00:53And of course, President Obama had one point eight million evictions during his during his two terms.
01:00And so I think it's important to note that, you know, Tom is a seasoned professional here.
01:06He's tough. He's not you know, he's not soft on crime.
01:08He's not soft on on immigration crime.
01:11But but I do think, you know, he's better suited to handle things on the ground in Minneapolis.
01:16And again, he worked for, you know, a Democrat president.
01:19And I would also note that during, you know, during that time, President Obama had much better cooperation from the state and local government, whereas President Trump is getting that in most states, but not in Illinois, not in New York, not in Minnesota.
01:35And that's where, you know, there's been one hundred and seventy five incidents of violence against ICE, against federal agents, federal law enforcement officers.
01:44And, you know, of those, seventy four of those were in just four cities, starting with Minneapolis and New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
01:53So, you know, most of the violence against ICE is in these are in these blue states, blue cities that are also sanctuary cities.
02:00So I think Tom Holman will bring some calm to to the situation, hopefully work with state and local government and get them involved, because that's really what we need in Minneapolis is support, not, you know, an adversarial position from state and local police.
