Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Today, President Zelenskyy, on his 48th birthday, is in Lithuania.
“Ultimately, history punishes those who stand aside. In many respects, the wars of the 20th century were the result of the indifference of those in power in the 19th century.”

It’s here! The big storm has reached us and they’re forecasting 8-12 inches of snow in our region. We’ve made every possible plan and contingency plan, so unless something truly unforeseeable happens we should be okay.

The ICU nurse Alex Pretti, murdered by 🧊, was also working on scientific research to help prevent recurrent C. diff, a very common infection in hospitals. His research would certainly improve and save many lives.

I'm a big advocate for more police training. Notably LAPD, which I helped get a federal injunction against. I also helped get federal injunction against ICE & CBP.
But I always tie it back to culture. Messaging, discipline, and training are among factors.
Training can't address this ICE culture.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
