Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) believes the Trump administration's deployment of federal immigration personnel to cities nationwide is part of a quest to "take control" of the midterm elections.
"It has always been, I think, the fear, and now I think closer to the reality that the Trump administration is creating this mayhem, particularly in cities in swing states, in order to take control of the election, to say, 'Oh, the city's out of control, the state's out of control, you can't trust the state government, we just need to run the election in November,'" Murphy told host Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union." |

"We feel a ton of sympathy for the family and friends of the deceased, but make no mistake about it, this was entirely avoidable if we had a governor, if we had a mayor, if we had leadership in Washington and over Minnesota that actually cared about their citizens, this would never have happened, because there would be law enforcement on the streets helping [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)]," Blanche told NBC News's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press." |

| Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Sunday went after the Trump administration over Saturday's fatal shooting by a Custom and Border Patrol (CBP) agent in Minneapolis.

"And so, when I hear the officials from the Trump administration describe this video in ways that simply aren't true, I just keep thinking, 'Your eyes don't lie.'

They're going to make their own judgments," she added. |
