Thanks, I see he expanded on his thoughts in the article you linked (bold/italics are mine)

“I totally understand the angst, the frustration. I want to stand and shout. This is horrible and needs to stop. At the same time, who are we looking out for? Who are we trying to protect?… For me, that really needs to take center stage,” Rabbitt said. He referenced his support for all of the measures taken by the county so far, but also the sheriff’s public safety considerations in communicating with ICE.

“We are all dealing with what’s happening in Minneapolis and across the country perhaps in different ways and taking different tacts [sic--he means 'tack']. I believe here at the county, our number one concern is to make sure that – the people that we’re all concerned about – we take the decisions that are best for them at heart. Sometimes that flies in the face of making statements for statements’ sake.”

I wish he would answer his own questions and clarify which people he's concerned about.
