I can also see the point of view of the people that say, Yeah, but you don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching people up, many of which turn out to actually be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them."
"That includes murderers, that includes rapists, child pedophilespeople who, whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you would never want these people on your streets or as your neighbors, answered McLaughlin, pivoting to attack Democrats. She continued: That's the people who we are targeting, and we are trying to get out of Minneapolis.
