00:19:43.120Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show as we continue our coverage of the events that unfolded earlier this afternoon in Tim Waltz's Minnesota.
00:19:57.520So let's go back to Tim Waltz for a little bit.
00:20:00.280Because Tim Waltz in his press conference this afternoon told the world that he had no idea ICE was coming to his city.
00:20:08.260The federal government did not let him know.
00:20:40.100So when you see local law enforcement or.
00:20:45.640Number one, he's a liar because he did know they were coming.
00:20:48.620And I just pulled one example for you guys.
00:20:56.160From CBS News, January 5th, which is two days ago.
00:21:01.0202,000 federal agents deployed to Minneapolis in immigration crackdown and fraud probe.
00:21:06.560The article goes on to say the Trump administration has begun a massive deployment of hundreds of Department of Homeland Security agents to the Twin Cities area.
00:21:16.760So as it escalates its federal crackdown amid widening fraud scandal in Minnesota, multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the plan, told CBS News.
00:21:28.040CBS is just one of the outlets reporting it.
00:21:33.300The crackdown could involve roughly 2,000 agents and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Deportation Branch and Homeland Security investigations.
00:21:42.400The agency's investigative arm tasked with fighting transnational crimes, the officials said.
00:21:48.120They requested anonymity to discuss operations that had not been publicly announced yet.
00:21:52.380The plan is for agents and officers to oversee a 30 day surge in operations in Twin City areas, making the regions, marking the region's first major target of the Trump administration's expanded immigration crackdown in the new year.
00:22:08.940Official said agents deployed from Homeland Security investigations are expected to probe legislation of fraud, building on last month's inspection of dozens of sites in the Minneapolis area.
00:22:19.540So not only did he tell them they were coming.
00:22:24.460But he said they were staying for 30 days.
