YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMinnesota Democratic Sen. Tina Smith says she wants "commonsense guardrails" on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
"These federal agents who are part of ICE and customs and border control should not be allowed to just randomly detain and arrest U.S. citizens," she said. "They should not be allowed to barge into, break down the doors of people's homes and cart them off with no warrant."
Smith is one of several Democrats who say they will oppose a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. She spoke to PBS News Hour's Amna Nawaz on Monday about the immigration crackdown in Minnesota and the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen in the state this month.
"There's sort of this coalition of the horrified that has developed around what's been happening here in Minnesota, and it includes law enforcement," she said.
