Noem, Bondi, & Gabbard are delivering a message to Secretaries of State.
The people who run our elections.
Why? What is Noem, fresh off smearing ICE victims, Bondi, who tried to shake down voter data from MN, and Gabbard, who just raided Fulton, going to say?

The horrors are happening across the state. Not just in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities metro.
ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too.
In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The vast majority of the assaults involve a journalist being hit with a crowd-control munition of some type, like pepper balls, stun grenade shrapnel or projectiles, while reporting.
