Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith calls for 'meaningful restraint' of 'lawless' federal agents

Published | Video Starts at 00:36

Clearly, there is an attempt by the White House and the president and the people around him to de escalate the situation. It's a dramatic turn of events from just this weekend when The attorney general sent a letter to the governor saying that the only way to end this attack on Minnesota was if the governor were to, among other things, turn over our voter rolls. So I think what has changed is the tragic killing of Alex Preddy and the pressure that the White House is feeling from Americans and certainly from their allies in the Republican Party saying this just cannot stand.
