He also lied uncontrollably about crime in Minnesota while hinting darkly that the crackdown there will get worse.

This comes as a new Quinnpiac poll finds majorities of voters say the ICE shooting is not justified (53"35) and disapprove of ICE enforcement (57"40). Those numbers are even worse for Trump among independents (59"28 and 64"33).

A new YouGov poll finds 53 percent say the ICE officer should face charges."

The agent said: "Hello Judith. How are you today?'"

Judy Levy was shaken, but the couple followed when the federal agents' caravan started up again. That's when ICE vehicles turned onto Levy's street. They almost couldn't believe it.

"Our street is off the beaten path, you don't go down our street to get to anywhere." Noah Levy said. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't intimidating." ...
