This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

On this episode of NUCH World, we're going to discuss the recent events in Minnesota,

including Tom Homan's arrival there and his press conference on Thursday morning.

I'm really pleased to welcome my guest, Chad Wolf. He serves as chair

of America First Policy Institute's Homeland Security and Immigration Division. He is responsible

for the day-to-day management and strategic direction of AFPI with a focus on setting policy goals and research priorities. And I must say,

I've worked with the AFPI from its founding. It's an extraordinarily important,

action-oriented operation that has provided an enormous amount of resources to the Trump

administration on the policy front.

Prior to joining AFPI, Wolf served as acting secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,

so he's really remarkably prepared to have this discussion.

Music Chad, welcome, and thank you for joining me again on Newsworld.

Yeah, well, thanks for having me. It's great to be here.

I think people are very confused about what's going on, partly because of the videos,

the television coverage, et cetera.

From your perspective, what's actually happening in Minnesota with ICE?

Yeah, I think it's a good question to say, how did we get here?

How did we get to such a sort of a chaotic environment in Minneapolis? And I have to tell you,

it starts with four years of an open border under Joe Biden, right? So when President Trump came

into office in early 25, they closed the border. They closed the borders to illegal entries.

Apprehension numbers are low. So they sealed off the border. So they stopped millions of coming into the border. But now you have to deal with the millions that Joe Biden resettled into the interior of the country. Right. And so now the focus shifts from the border to trying to find those public safety and national security threats.

And so that's what ICE is doing across the country. Obviously in Minneapolis, it's a challenge.
