I led a letter with 159 Members of Congress to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanding accountability for ICE's indefensible actions resulting in the killing of a woman in South Minneapolis.
Minnesotans deserve answers. That must include an unbiased, thorough investigation.

I’m following news of a reported shooting of a legal observer by ICE agents in South Minneapolis.
I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information.
