Transcript excerpt

I wanna be clear about something. Johan Sebastian, before he was shot to death, had been accused of committing no crime. He was in this country lawfully, and he was following a lawful process that's prescribed by our federal government. The Trump administration issued him a permit to work in this country legally, and they issued him a Social Security card and Social Security number.
