We do have a small team of security forces to back up ICE agents in case things get out of hand.

And if law enforcement continues to respond like they've committed to, then we'll pull that small force out.

Homan says more than 1,000 immigration enforcement agents have already left and several hundred would be removed early in the week to get back to, quote, the original footprint.

Exceptions beyond that footprint, he said, will include investigators who will stay to finish the probe into allegations of fraud, as well as the protests that had disrupted a church service.

Plus, Holman said an additional security force would stay to protect immigration agents to respond when, quote, they get surrounded by agitators and things get out of control.

He did not specify the size of this force beyond saying small, and he said he hoped this contingent could also be removed fairly quickly.

There is identifying marks.

But masks, you know, while they talk about maybe passing legislation to make it illegal to dox at agents or something like that, but masks right now are for officer safety reasons.

DHS Secretary Noem made some comments that Democratic Leader Schumer just commented on earlier in the show.

I want to play them for you.

So what does she mean when she says electing the right leaders?

That's not really immigration enforcement or DHS responsibility.

I got to give credit to the governor.

We had good conversations.

The state prisons are helping us.

And Mayor Frey, me and Mayor Frey will never agree on much.

But you know what?

His officers did respond to take down the illegal roadblocks that made it unsafe for not only citizens of Minnesota, but our officers.
