There's obviously a lot of
controversy over
ICE's engagements in Minnesota
right now.
There's speculation
that that could be
moving to Wisconsin.
How do you see
Wisconsin courts
getting involved in this?
Or is this strictly
a federal issue?
It is a federal issue.
In the circumstances
you never want to see anyone
injured or lose their life.
That's a tragedy
in all respects
in every case.
But I think that
cooler heads have to prevail.
There is a right to
First Amendment
freedom of speech.
But I also believe
that this is an excellent
example of why
we need our courts.
In this case
it's probably federal courts
but why we need our courts to be
fair, impartial and independent
to look at the facts
to make a reasoned
calm decision
and to do so fairly
and justly.
Certainly I will
tell you as I go out
around the state
I think that Wisconsinites
are really concerned
by what they're seeing
in Minnesota.
They're afraid
and I don't blame them.
Courts
state courts
must make sure
that every person
who violates the law
is held accountable.
So in Minnesota
they should do their full
and fair investigation, and then
they will make a decision
in that state
about whether criminal
charges will be brought.
