RUSH EXCERPT:
JAMES: "So first, let me just let everyone know that all of the demands in the letter are the subject of litigation. We’ve been here before. And in fact, in various stages, in some cases there’s trolls. In some cases there’s preliminary injunctions. This is nothing more than an attempt to extract from the state of Minnesota a change in their policies and a change in their how they operate. And we say that there is no quid pro quo, that these two things should be separated. The issue with regards to abolishing ice, removing ice, transforming ice, as well as the request or the demand for this personal for these, for this private and personal data, Medicaid, Social Security information, etc. It is nothing more than an attempt to get information that they would not otherwise get in court. That’s all that this is. And what we say is no. And so it’s a letter from 23 attorneys general all across this nation, basically saying to the attorney general, Pam Bondi, that what you’re doing is nothing more than a transaction, and we will not allow it."
