- Barack Obama responded to a racist video shared by Donald Trump showing him and Michelle Obama as apes.
- He expressed concern over the loss of decorum and respect in US politics, describing the incident as distracting and troubling.
- Obama labeled the deployment of 3,000 ICE agents in Minneapolis as rogue and dangerous, likening it to tactics seen in dictatorships.
- He praised community resilience and organizing efforts and noted the Trump administration's decision to end the controversial ICE operation.
The way that federal agents, ICE agents, were being deployed without any clear guidelines, training, pulling people out of their homes, using five-year-olds to try and bait their parents, all the stuff we saw… the rogue behaviour of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning.— Barack Obama discussing the concerning behavior of ICE agents in Minneapolis.
