[0:00] This is going to be a moment.
[0:01] We’ll get knocked down seven times
[0:03] but we get back up eight.
[0:04] What happened was reckless,
[0:06] and, by the way, entirely predictable.
[0:08] This is not the first instance
[0:10] of horrific treatment.
[0:11] They are lifting people off the street,
[0:13] detaining them
[0:15] for no other reason
[0:16] other than the fact that they look like
[0:17] they're Somali
[0:18] or they look like they're Latino.
[0:19] And they are creating danger,
[0:21] where they claim to be creating safety.
[0:23] This happened
[0:23] because the way that ICE is conducting
[0:26] themselves is not constitutional.
[0:28] When people come
[0:29] for our immigrant community,
[0:30] our country is made up of immigrants
[0:32] and we stand by them.
[0:33] We are the ones that are responsible
[0:35] to try and get in the middle of that
[0:37] and try and keep the peace.
[0:38] We are anti-crime.
[0:39] We are pro-safety.
[0:40] We're also pro-abiding
[0:42] by the Constitution,
[0:43] which this administration is not doing.
[0:45] You want to make a big deal
[0:46] about an F-bomb.
[0:47] Let's make a big deal
[0:48] about our Constitution.
[0:49] Of course I stand by what I said.
[0:51] Get ICE out of this city.
[0:52] If I'm going
[0:52] whether the F-bomb is
[0:54] the inflammatory piece here
[0:55] or the killing of a civilian,
[0:57] I think it's the killing of the civilian.
[0:59] This is our moment
[1:00] to stand up and do the right thing.
[1:01] We're going to be an example
[1:02] for other cities
[1:03] throughout the country.
[1:04] The way that
[1:05] our law enforcement in Minneapolis
[1:07] are conducting
[1:08] is going to be fair and righteous.
[1:10] And for anybody that's watching,
[1:11] you're a part of this too.
[1:12] [Applause]
[1:13] To ICE:
[1:14] Get the f*** out of Minneapolis.
