Let's get two views now from Capitol Hill on the day's developments.

First up, Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, leader of the House Democrats.

I spoke with him this afternoon and started by asking his assessment of what happened in Minneapolis today.

There is no evidence that has been presented to justify the shooting of an unarmed woman resulting in her unnecessary death.

Christy Nome, the so-called Secretary of Homeland Security, is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility

on this issue or on any other issue. And what we need, as I believe the governor

has indicated, is a full and complete investigation. This rogue ICE agent who pulled the trigger

should be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law, including for demonstrating

a depraved indifference to human life. As you know, there are ICE officers deployed in multiple

places across the country as part of the president's immigration crackdown. What's the role for

federal lawmakers like you to ensure

that justice is served here in Minneapolis, but also that this doesn't happen in any other

community?

Well, the President's extreme immigration policies have been a complete and total failure.

That's why the American people across the country have been rejecting them.

The President promised that the Department of Homeland Security and ICE

would be targeting violent felons.

They're not targeting violent felons.

They are targeting and deporting, in some cases American citizens, and certainly individuals who have been part

of these communities, in some cases, for decades.

And Congress should step forward and reassert our authority.

Unfortunately, Republicans who control the House and the Senate temporarily for the time being have functioned like a reckless rubber stand for Donald Trump's extreme agenda as opposed to being part of a separate and co-equal branch of government.
