ICE already doesn't care about the Constitution. Why would they give a shit about a deal with Chuck Schumer?
None of this is enforceable. Half of it is already existing law. All of it depends on voluntary compliance and follow-through from ICE. Why should we pretend Republicans will act in good faith?

Our precinct's DFL gubernatorial straw poll results: 1 Erin Murphy, 1 "anyone but Amy," 14 Klobuchar and 20 uncommitted. This from a predictably centrist dfl stronghold. Big opening for someone.

This isn't unusual. I've seen metro districts with 90%+ uncommitted delegates. People know Klobuchar's record on ICE & Trump judges. She's a paper tiger - all the fundraising imaginable, but no grassroots enthusiasm.

We just need ONE (1) slightly audacious DFL politician willing to challenge her.

people in minnesota are fired up against ICE, and we have no appetite for a politician like craig who voted for the laken riley act and a resolution in support of ICE

this campaign is going nowhere

Shame on ProPublica management for moving like Starbucks, Amazon and other organizations - especially under this anti-labor administration - to fuck over workers.

Homeland Security Reportedly Tackled and Assaulted a Deaf Teenager at Protest
Another day, another unjustifiable video showcasing the absolute disregard for humanity and the lack of de-escalation training at Homeland Security.

Oh good, ICE agents will get to have multiple angles for their videos of themselves killing civilians.

Why stop there? I say, every ICE agent deserves a subscription to Final Cut Pro, so they can gussy up those videos and make them look professional.

Have you ceased firing if you continue murdering children every single day?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

❌👑 Over the past month, we’ve watched as ICE executed two people in broad daylight and more behind closed doors. They have invaded our communities and are using children as bait to lure our neighbors out of their homes. 👑❌

On March 28th, we’re standing up against these masked terrorists.

I need to talk to the ~5% of voters who think Trump is mentally unfit for the job but approve of the job he's doing. I have questions.
