A beautiful moment at the “ICE Out of Minnesota” service at Temple Israel this morning: faith leaders singing a “This Little Light of Mine.”

We must continue to share our light during these dark times.

Today people across Minnesota are coming together to send a message: “ICE Out of Minnesota.” Minnesotans’ rights are under attack, and ICE needs to leave our streets.

The Constitution and the law are clear: ICE must allow anyone they detain access to legal counsel.

But that is not happening—including for at least one detained U.S. citizen.

ICE must comply with the law and allow access to attorneys. This is not optional.

Dominant platforms should not be allowed to buy up their competitors to create a monopoly.  
 
After a judge dismissed the monopoly case against Meta, I called on the FTC to appeal the decision – and I am pleased to see that appeal is now under way.

Instead of investigating the shooting of Renee Good, the Trump administration is subpoenaing Minnesota's state and local leaders.

We need answers and accountability for Renee's death—not political games.

Today the House is voting on the ICE funding bill. It doesn’t put meaningful constraints on ICE and I cannot support it. ICE’s funding was dramatically increased by the Republican bill last summer so they are now bigger than the FBI.

When ICE targets people—including off-duty officers as reported by Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley—for no reason other than how they look, it destroys trust, divides communities, and fails to make us safer.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more?

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

Trump's Treasury Secretary thinks "mom and pop" means owning 12 homes for retirement? Tell that to Minnesota families struggling to buy ONE

The 3,000 ICE and federal agents in Minnesota outnumber all 10 metro police departments combined. Local law enforcement leaders have made it clear that this surge is disrupting public safety, stretching resources, and making their jobs more difficult. ICE is making us less safe.
January 21, 2026 at 5:31 PM
ICE’s reasoning for stopping anyone in Minnesota is illegal and unconstitutional. This explains why they took an innocent Hmong American out of his home wearing almost nothing in 12-degree weather, and dropped him off an hour later after admitting they had the wrong person.
ICE Associate Director Marcos Charles says that any individual that ICE agents encounter in, around, or in-route to a "target" is fair game for an interrogation, leaving the interviewer stunned.
January 21, 2026 at 4:47 PM
Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

The first year of the Trump administration has set us back. Tariffs are increasing costs by $1,700 a year. ICE is making us less safe. The President is more focused on Greenland & his ballroom than helping Americans. We need to lower costs and end the chaos & corruption.

All because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not fighting for Americans—fighting for himself.

Minnesota has always been a state that welcomes people from around the world. One example: Team Canada leading a huge crowd in singing “O Canada” after winning gold at the World Snow Sculpting Championship in Stillwater.
January 20, 2026 at 12:31 AM
Rewarding ICE agents for arrests — even if the person is released without charges — is leading to chaos in the streets and Constitutional rights being violated. This isn’t making us safer.

I attended the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Breakfast hosted by the General Mills Foundation and UNCF Twin Cities.

This year’s theme—“Make a career of humanity”—comes from Dr. King’s own words and calls on us to commit ourselves to service, justice, and lifting others up.
January 19, 2026 at 6:39 PM
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring call for justice, equality, and action. Even in these challenging times, Dr. King’s courage and faith remind us to stand together with resolve and compassion.
January 19, 2026 at 2:25 PM
We need a full and transparent investigation.

Making Americans pay more because you can’t take over another country? 

The President should spend more time on lowering costs for Americans and less time blowing up our most important alliances.

In Minnesota, we won't stop welcoming people from around the world. Undeterred by the ice or ICE, Stillwater, MN hosted its annual world snow competition, bringing 16 international teams that turn blocks of snow into art. Congrats to first-place Canada 🇨🇦, Mongolia and Thailand for second and third!

The courts are upholding the law and the rights of Minnesotans to peacefully protest ICE. An important ruling for the Constitution and our state.

Was in Rosemount with Rep. McCollum and many local leaders for the launch of the Minnesota Aerospace Complex. This will create jobs in Minnesota and help keep our state competitive in the 21st century economy.
