| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the beat. Tonight we can report there are now 3,000 federal agents in Minneapolis. |
| 0:05.6 | Are they patrolling? Are they occupying? Are they escalating? That is one of the big questions |
| 0:10.8 | facing this show of force by the Trump administration. I'll remind you that Minneapolis is a smaller |
| 0:15.9 | city, one of those cities where you've heard the name. It has a big brand name, but did you know, |
| 0:19.8 | it's only about 430,000 people there. So this show of force alone means it's one officer for every |
