Representing Minnesota's 5th District in the People's House.
US Progressives Deputy Chair.
Account managed by staff.
ICE's Operation Metro Surge has resulted in the murder of Renee Nicole Good. It's unjustifiable.

Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability. That means our state and local law enforcement must have a hand in this investigation.

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.

Five years ago, Trump incited a violent insurrection. Armed extremists stormed the Capitol to overturn an election.

I never thought I’d see an attempted coup in the United States.

January 6th was an assault on democracy. And no amount of whitewashing will erase the truth.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy and healthy start to 2026.

Looking forward to another year fighting alongside you to build a brighter, stronger Minnesota. 💪🏽💙

I'm grateful every day to represent the people of Minnesota's Fifth District. 💙

I came to Congress on a promise of cogovernance and it's been my honor to work with you all to deliver these wins for Minnesota. Together, we're building a brighter future for our communities! 💪🏽

Happy Kwanzaa, Minnesota! May your days be filled with peace, unity, and faith.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating in Minnesota and beyond! Wishing you a holiday filled with love, joy, and warmth.

The new travel ban executive order is inhumane, racist, and designed to tear families apart.

It’s cold in Minnesota, but our communities are warm.

Even as ICE operates unlawfully, I'm proud of our neighbors who keep showing up for one another.

I'm proud to recognize Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Lisa Sayles Adams for her achievement of being named the 2026 Minnesota Superintendent of the Year.

Thank you for everything you do to set our kids up for success!

ICE is terrorizing immigrant communities in Minneapolis and across our state- but Minnesotans do not back down in the face of hate.

Thank you to every Minnesotan who is standing up and keeping our immigrant neighbors safe.

Somali TPS holders are our neighbors, coworkers, and small business owners.

They’ve built their lives here.

I led members of Congress in demanding answers on the administration’s legally dubious and dangerous threats

I'm proud to honor the Minneapolis Fire Department's historic assembly of their first all-Native Fire Crew.

The crew works hard every day to keep South Minneapolis safe & strengthen the trust between the department and the communities it serves.

We couldn't be more grateful. 💙

Somali Americans are part of this nation and we’re going to keep contributing no matter how many times extremists try to erase us.
December 7, 2025 at 7:33 PM
The president is doing what he does best: deflecting.

He is attacking the Somali American community to hide the fact that he has failed to deliver on nearly all of his promises.

But we are resilient and, despite the president's disgusting remarks, we will continue to thrive.

Minneapolis Fire Chief Bryan Tyner has been a dedicated public servant to our communities for over 30 years.

I'm incredibly grateful for his work keeping our communities safe & wish him the best in his new role as the Executive Director of the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.

My message to Trump: Your message of bigotry won’t work. Somali Americans are here to stay. 💅🏾

The Pedophile Protection Party tried everything to keep the Epstein Files from coming out.

That's why we needed to pass a discharge petition to get a vote on the House Floor to get the truth out because GOP leadership refused to act.

It's time for answers and transparency.

Educators are the heart of the Fifth District, working every day to give our kids the quality education they deserve.

That's why I'm working in Congress to ensure our teachers get the fair pay and support they need, inside and out of the classroom. 💙💪🏽

Congratulations to Rep. Adelita Grijalva on her swearing in!

Proud to welcome her to Congress and even prouder that her very first act is signing on as the 218th signature to the Epstein discharge petition.

Incredible to see the northern lights shine down in Minnesota's Fifth District last night!

This Veterans Day, and every day, we honor our veterans for their service and sacrifice.

I’ll continue to fight to ensure our veterans and their families get the support they need. That starts with ensuring they get the best healthcare and benefits they deserve.
