ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer.

Just one day after Renee Good was gunned down by ICE in Minneapolis, federal agents under Trump have shot more people, this time in my neighborhood. I am furious.

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Homeland Security’s description of what happened and the narrative they’re pushing clearly doesn’t match up with the videos we’re all seeing.
They’re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes.
I’ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of the woman killed by ICE this morning.
She should not have died today. This should not have happened. I can’t imagine the heartbreak you are going through and the grief you are enduring.
