00:00First, after a weekend of turmoil in the US state of Minnesota, today a judge
00:05is considering whether to pause the deployment of thousands of ICE agents in the state.
00:10The sweeping and aggressive immigration crackdown since the beginning of December last year.
00:15has now led to the fatal killing of two people, most recently Alex Prett.
00:20on Saturday, who was shot several times after being forced to the ground.
00:25The shooting now only adding to those tensions in the city of Minneapolis with local residents
00:30taking to the streets to protest the presence of ICE officers.
00:35Well, let's start by taking a listen to the governor of Minnesota, the Democrat, Tim.
00:40So my question is, what's the plan, Donald Trump?
00:45What is the plan?
00:48What do we need to do to get these
00:50federal agents out of our state?
00:52You thought fear, violence and chaos is what you wanted from us?
00:55And you clearly underestimated the people of this state and nation.
01:00We are tired, but we're resolved.
01:04We're peaceful.
01:05We're angry, but we'll never forget.
01:06We're angry, but we're angry.
01:07We're angry, but we're angry.
01:10We won't give up hope.
01:11And above all else, we are clearly unified.
01:15Well, let's cross live to Washington and bring in Fraser Jackson, our chorus.
01:20The correspondent on the program, Fraser, you heard Tim Walls there saying, what?
01:25What is the plan, Donald Trump?
01:26So let me put that to you then.
01:28And what do you think the white?
01:30White House intends to do today and in the days ahead in the wake of these.
01:35Soaring tensions that we've seen in Minnesota.
01:40Well, there's been an interesting development this morning.
01:43We got a tweet from Donald Trump just.
01:45A short while ago saying that he's sending Tom Homan, who was the head of ice.
01:50Over to Minnesota to basically run things on the ground there.
01:54He says that.
01:55Tom Homan knows the people and likes the people on the ground, but hasn't been involved thus
01:59far.
02:00I think that.
02:00It's an interesting choice because normally the kind of person that he would send that
02:03would be Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security.
02:05Secretary.
02:06So that has sparked sparked thoughts here that may.
02:10Maybe Kristi Noem is on the outs here and that's maybe she has kind of fought.
02:15And I was a favor with the administration.
02:17So something to watch that.
02:18And we'll hear from Caroline Levis.
02:20Later on, later on in the day, she does her press conference, her press briefing.
02:25Later on.
02:26But there has been that development within the local, the local area.
02:30That's state and local officials trying to stop the US administration.
02:35And in the way that it's implementing this immigration crackdown by having.
02:40around 3000 agents on the streets that they are trying these local officials to get.
02:45that blocked in court arguments are due to be heard in the very, very near future.
02:50whether that goes the same way as Chicago and put some kind of reins.
02:55on Donald Trump's power here remains to be seen.
02:58But this is going to be an emergency state.
03:00But of course, there has been rising tensions over the course of the last few days
03:04since that shooting about.
03:05Alex Petty on Saturday and protests that are continuing or be at most.
03:10the peaceful protests despite the fact that the temperature there in Minneapolis is hovering
03:14around my.
03:15minus 20 degrees Celsius.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Fraser, just tell us a bit more about that then.
03:18Fraser, just tell us a bit more about that then.
03:20Um.
03:20I imagine then we are expecting as we start a new day on the US East Coast.
