Craig: "These US attorneys are witnessing what all Minnesotans are witnesses right now, which is Trump and Kristi Noem's ICE terrorizing the people of Minnesota, citizens and non-citizens.

Today, the homeless population in King County is about 12,000 people, and we need more resources to support these individuals. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s effort to restrict funding to address homelessness.

It’s difficult to afford basic necessities, from groceries to housing. We need a minimum wage that reflects the affordability crisis in our country. Now, more Americans will earn a minimum wage of $15 or more than workers who earn the federal minimum wage of $7.25.
