If ICE wants to get rid of the worst of the worst in Minneapolis, all they need to do is leave. They ARE the worst of the worst.

‘I’m a physician,’ he said. ‘Don’t care’ was the reply.
Bystander medical assistance was declined to George Floyd and Renee Good. Medical experts say ICE agents and a physician observer likely acted within their training after recent shooting.

This is a vile and completely unacceptable attack on the Somali community.
And after the assassination of former Speaker of the MN House Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark in Minnesota this year, the constant targeting of Rep. Omar by Donald Trump is incredibly dangerous.

Trump isn’t telling the truth about Somali people in Minnesota. Most of them are citizens. They work hard in jobs like healthcare, transportation and airport security. Most of them are US citizens. With few exception, like other Minnesotans, they abide by the law. They are my neighbors.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
