"Do you carry your passport? Your Social Security card? I do carry my passport, actually, everywhere I go keep it in my backpack. I travel a lot, I use it sometimes, he answered before noting: Look, I didn't hear the resolution of that [the ICE agents' interaction with the woman in the video] by the way, and I didn't hear a direct answer to the question, either. I'd love to know how that interaction turned out."
"I'm comfortable with the federal government enforcing U.S. immigration laws, and these kinds of distractions take away from the story of the day, answered Jennings. You had an ICE agent last night chasing down a Venezuelan national. That Venezuelan national attacked him and fought him. Two other Venezuelans nationals ran out of a house and attacked him with brooms, handles, and shovels, which are deadly weapons."
An on-air exchange about ICE and an on-camera interaction with a woman about birthplace and identification escalated into questions about carrying proof of citizenship and identification. The limits of a driver's license as proof of U.S. citizenship and use of passports and Social Security cards were raised.

Calls were made for local officials to cooperate with federal authorities amid accusations of local leaders encouraging unrest.
