Press Secretary Leavitt and Vice President Vance Hold a Press Briefing
.@PressSec: “Let me be clear, @POTUS and his entire administration stand fully behind the heroic men and women of ICE, and will always uphold Law and Order in the United States of America. The deadly incident that took place in Minnesota yesterday occurred as a result of a larger, sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country, where our brave men and women of federal law enforcement are under organized attack.”
Vice President Vance: I’ve seen a lot of dishonest coverage from the media during my time in politics, but the last 24 hours may have set a new low.
“This was an attack on federal law enforcement, this was an attack on law and order, this was an attack on the American people.”
“I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it’s a tragedy of her own making, and a tragedy of the far-left, who has [led] en entire movement… against our law enforcement officers.”
@VP Vance: The Trump Admin is launching a new DOJ division to PROTECT American taxpayer dollars — and make sure they go where they belong
The Trump Administration will create a new Assistant Attorney General position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud — focusing first primarily in Minnesota, then expanding nationwide.
