0:04.3

grotesque scenes out of Minneapolis and the confrontations between ICE and CBP agents there

0:13.4

and the folks that are just trying to live their lives in the city. We put out a call for some feedback on that.

0:23.2

And so we're going through, you know, both video we've been provided as well as stuff that's

out there in the public space. So you guys can get a sense of what is happening because I think
