There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.

He incited an insurrection when he lost.
He raided a Georgia county election office.

We're being told that putting reforms into place (that every American knows we need) is impossible because members of the House would need to get on a plane and come back to D.C.

Renée Good and Alex Pretti were killed for no reason.
Without any evidence, Secretary Noem called them “domestic terrorists.”
It’s unacceptable.

The Department of Homeland Security, under the direction of Secretary Noem, is terrorizing communities. ICE’s actions in Minnesota are horrific and must stop: Two people in the state were killed this month—a young mother and an ICU nurse lawfully observing and protesting.

We need immigration enforcement in this country. That’s not what ICE is doing under Secretary Noem.
It's perpetuating mass intimidation.

ICE leadership has informed their agents that they have expanded powers to arrest people without a warrant.
It's another attack by President Trump and Secretary Noem on the foundations of our democracy.

Five years since January 6, 2021.
A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost.
Don’t let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power.
Never forget.
