Rep. Omar says it is "not acceptable" for Trump, others to make early judgments on ICE shooting

Published | Video Starts at 05:15

What they are doing is creating confusion, chaos, trying to intimidate people from being able to exercise their regular, normal activities that they would. There is no justification in any of the things that they say. The 87 people that you've described as being investigated, many of them adjudicated, all happened under the Biden administration. There is no justification for this search. We know that ICE has the ability to conduct raids. There is no reason have over 2,000 people coming in to our city and creating the level of terror that they have created. (05:15–05:27)
