As the legendary civil rights leader
Congressman John Lewis said: "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something."
I promise to continue to speak up, to speak out, and to fight the good fight.
Disgusting
I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Thank you
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.

NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.

It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

Not sustainable. Evil horrific cretins
You can’t reform this.

Throw the whole department away.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

I call my senators / congresswoman often.
It's my duty, and it's not difficult *at all*. What's actually difficult about it is pushing through my resentment.
These are folks I pay *really well* to be decent.
And I resent having to PLEAD with them to do be decent.
It makes me feel crazy.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
