We live in a metropolitan area of the United States. People who are going about their lives like other Americans are being taken away for no reason and trauma is being inflicted at schools, hospitals, neighborhoods. It’s appalling that complaints are made about their dining options being affected.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Thread: The Trump Admin tried to inappropriately withhold federal funds to 5 states with Democratic governors (including Minnesota) under block grants like TANF. While that was temporarily stopped through litigation, the Trump Admin is now threatening to withhold #Medicaid funding from MN (1/x)

There should be more attention on how republicans are making children, families, and people with disabilities suffer. Even during the federal shutdown, they went to the Supreme Court to make sure they could starve children.

Minnesota will lose its limited bench of true health care expertise in the Senate with the departure of Wiklund and Mann at a time when our state needs it most.
