Dr. King’s words and actions were driven by love, faith, and a deep commitment to justice.
He challenged us stand up for our neighbors who are suffering, and to fight for love over hate. I see Minnesotans living those words every day.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

State investigators have been on the scene after last night’s shooting in North Minneapolis.
I’m stunned by the continued use of force coming from these masked agents.
I’m angry. I know you are too.
We can’t give in to the violence - that’s exactly what Trump wants.

Minnesotans are rightly concerned with the presence of federal agents in our cities, especially as multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested.
Our administration remains committed to safeguarding the civil liberties of all in Minnesota.
