"We're in a very dangerous moment": Pramila Jayapal talks ICE, Minnesota shooting
Tensions across the country remain high one week after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
The shooting has sparked nationwide protests, including in the Seattle area. Accounts of what happened have split along political lines.
Since the shooting, the administration is doubling down on its immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities. The number of federal immigration enforcement agents deployed to Minnesota is expected to reach 3,000 in the coming days, the largest operation in U.S. history, according to DHS.
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal joined us to share her thoughts on the events that unfolded this past week.
