33 分钟My name is Thomas Gibson.
I'm a journalist at the New York Times.
I served in the Marine Corps as an infantryman.
When it comes to reporting on the front line,
I think nothing is more important than talking to the people involved,
you know, hearing their stories and being able to connect that with people thousands of miles away.
Anything that can make something like this more personal, I think is well worth the risk.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry knows that what is playing out on the streets of his city will have profound implications for the whole country.
Since December,
there's been an influx of thousands of federal agents into Minneapolis as part of what the Department of Homeland Security has termed Operation Metro Surge.
And Fry has had to shepherd a city riven by protests,
infuriated by the killing of two American citizens at the hands of ICE and CBP,
and shaken by aggressive immigration raids that have left some residents afraid to leave their homes.
I spoke to Mayor Fry on Thursday afternoon, not long after Borders are Tom Homan,
who's been dispatched to Minneapolis, promised to de-escalate the situation there.
He said in a press conference that there would be a drawdown of agents.
