Investor Kevin O’Leary, appearing on CNN NewsNight with anchor Abby Phillip, insisted that Americans deserve transparency. “What about if you’re not left to right, you’re just a taxpayer like me, a lowly taxpayer, and I’d like to investigate fraud. I want my money back that was stolen from me. Is that okay or is that not okay?” O’Leary demanded
Phillip noted that investigations were underway, with the DOJ and other federal authorities looking into the matter. O’Leary was undeterred. “I want my money back,” he repeated.
The Minneapolis operations, designed to target fraud, included the deployment of 3,000 federal officers in a city of fewer than 500,000 people. Phillip highlighted that most of those targeted were not foreign nationals, exposing a disconnect between official rationale and local reality.
CNN senior political commentator Ana Navarro observed that Americans are upset by the mishandling and mischaracterization of federal enforcement, including the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents.
Stephen Miller, a senior Trump adviser, admitted possible wrongdoing by agents after previously labeling Pretti a “would-be assassin” and suggesting he was a terrorist. Miller’s sudden backtracking came amid mounting public scrutiny.
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig emphasized the need for a full, independent investigation, noting the unusual shift in responsibility from the White House to on-the-ground agents.
Legal commentator Jim Schultz explained that the administration had sent mixed signals. ICE and Border Patrol officers were operating under unclear directives, contributing to confusion and operational failures.
