[0:00] What we're seeing on our streets [0:02] is unnecessary abuses of force. [0:05] This is an invasion [0:06] for the sake of creating chaos [0:08] by our own federal government [0:09] this is not about safety. [0:11] This is not about immigration. [0:13] This is about sowing chaos [0:15] on the streets of Minneapolis. [0:17] This is about political retribution. [0:20] We in Minneapolis are suffering [0:22] the brunt of it right now. [0:24] Let me tell you what that looks like. [0:25] It looks like business is closing. [0:27] It looks like people on the streets [0:29] that are terrified to get picked up. [0:32] It looks like United States citizens [0:35] getting taken somewhere [0:36] where they don't [0:37] know where they are going, [0:38] nor when they are going to return [0:40] to their families. [0:41] We have seen consistent, [0:43] unconstitutional practice [0:45] by Ice discriminating [0:48] only on the basis of [0:49] are you Latino or are you Somali? [0:51] And then indiscriminate [0:52] pick ups thereafter. [0:54] Please take back [0:55] to your respective constituencies [0:57] and your colleagues [0:58] the message of [0:59] if you love your own community, [1:01] do not let this happen in ours. [1:04] as soon as they leave, [1:05] we will have peace. [1:07] we will have safety, [1:08] and order will be restored. [1:37] Order would be restored, [1:39] and I will make this prediction. [1:40] If those federal agents left [2:15] And I think [2:16] the main message here is [2:17] this is not sustainable. [2:20] We have had tens of thousands of people [2:23] in our city [2:24] beautifully stand up for one another. [2:27] They've showed this entire country [2:29] who we are. How you love your neighbor.
