During an interview, CNN’s John Berman asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer what he was thinking when President Trump asked everyone to stand to show support that the first duty of government is to protect American citizens while also noting that no Democrat stood up:Schumer responded that “the bottom line is very simple. We agree we need to protect Americans. He’s not. By his reckless ICE agency in Minnesota two Americans were killed. Americans are being pulled out of their cars and beaten. Americans’ houses, the doors are being knocked down, you know, without a warrant. And no other police department in America run by Americans has — has done what ICE has done. So yes, we want to protect Americans. He’s not doing it. And that’s why the American people are against what ICE is doing. So it was legitimate and right not to stand.”
