To say if 70% represents it that about three quarters of Minneapolis will still be militarily occupied ain't close to good enough. It's not what the people of Minneapolis want. It's not what the American people want. A full withdrawal of ICE is the only step, the only right step for the safety of the citizens and to allow Minneapolis to go function again. I've heard from our senators, people can't go to school. Stores are closed. Life has disrupted. And it's disrupted as much by 2,000 agents as by 2,700 agents. (02:30–02:42)
