Kimberly Solberg on the manner in which federal agents conduct immigration enforcement.


Kimberly Solberg:
Due process, is that too much to ask? I mean, at the heart of it, people say that people in Minneapolis, they're protesting because they want to defund ICE or whatever liberal, left-wing nonsense. The reality is it's about just wanting due process. You know, everybody that I know, including the people who are in the support group that I run — the resource and support group that I run — nobody is saying that no deportation should ever happen. Nobody is saying that, you know, open borders is the only way to go, and let everybody in and rainbows and sunshine. People are aware that, you know, there are immigration laws, there are times when immigration processes need to be put into place, but there's a way to do that and still maintain due process. A decade ago under Obama, they deported far more people than this administration's deported, and there were no riots in the street. There were no mass 50,000 people protesting in Minneapolis when it's -25 degrees with -40 windchill, you know, because it was done respectfully and with a process. So I mean, that's what I would hope could happen.
