On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire,” John Sandweg, who served as acting ICE Director under President Obama, said that, eventually, things in Minneapolis reached a situation where “it was crazy, ICE agents going out there and groups following them and whistles blowing everywhere. You can’t do any enforcement in an environment like that.” Sandweg said that there is a way to do law enforcement in a sanctuary like Minneapolis without things getting as chaotic as they have, and some of the fault for the situation is on how the federal government has handled things.

The following content is sponsored by the Council for a Safe & Secure Retirement. For too long, America’s retirement system has worked for the few, not the many. Wall Street insiders, wealthy elites, and big public pension funds have built wealth via the private markets – private equity, private credit, and real estate.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street,” Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) discussed the situation in Minneapolis and said that “Whenever there’s use of deadly force, what do you do?
