We have to face this crisis head on.

On Friday, Minneapolis came together for a massive protest against the ICE occupation and the murder of Renee Good: Tens of thousands of people came together to reject the Trump administration’s brutality and stand in solidarity with their neighbors. Unions and workplaces organized to stage…

Here’s how you can help Minneapolis today

Friend, with so much violence, harassment, and intimidation put upon our Minneapolis community by ICE and the Trump administration, it’s more important than ever that we come together to support our neighbors. Especially our neighbors who have been targeted by ICE and have lived in fear for …

Another murder in Minneapolis.

There’s been another murder by immigration enforcement in my district today. To say that I am absolutely horrified, disgusted, and angry doesn’t even come close. Another life that federal agents have taken. Another example of DHS targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting t…

Let’s send a message

Friend — With all the chaos unleashed by Trump and ICE here in Minnesota, I’ve had to take some time away from my campaign for reelection. We’ve had bigger fish to fry over the last month or so. That said, I finally had a moment to meet with my finance team recently. We reviewed some propose…

I voted NO on ICE funding.

I will not hand over another $10 Billion to ICE Friend — Yesterday, the House voted on a package of funding for DHS and ICE. I voted NO. No money for ICE as they terrorize my city and my state. No money for this runaway gang of thugs as they destroy the Constitution. The package that Republ…

Trump: “[Minnesota’s] got horrible people”

This really shows just how much Trump hates his fellow Americans. Friend, Trump can attack me all he wants; I’m used to it. But to say that Minnesota has “horrible people” really shows just how much Trump hates his fellow Americans. He doesn't believe in America First, only Trump First, Bil…

ICE broke down the door, trashed the place, handcuffed him, and put a gun to his daughter-in-law's head.

ChongLy Thao is a US citizen and a St. Paul resident. His story captures the entire essence of ICE’s brutal and callous operations in our state. Here’s the full account from a family member: “ICE came to my brother-in-law Saly's apartment, broke down the door, trashed the place, handcuffed …

“Because of your accent”

This is a new low for civil rights and American freedom. Friend, we knew that ICE has been racially profiling Latino, Somali-American, and Asian-American people in Minnesota. But this is a new low for civil rights and American freedom. In the video above, an ICE agent stops a man in Minneap…

$10 for Ilhan

Friend, we’re reaching out to humbly ask you to chip in $10 to Ilhan Omar’s campaign for reelection. Yes, just $10. $10 because Minneapolis and all of Minnesota is today engaged in a historic struggle for civil rights and basic human decency as ICE occupies our state. $10 because Ilhan has …

Stories from Minnesota

Friend, these are accounts from Minnesota in just the days since the murder of Renee Good. Please read on. ICE agents at a Target in Richfield, Minnesota, grabbed a teenage employee who was heckling them — as is your legal right — and threw him to the ground. They shoved him in a van and dro…

ICE has brought fear and violence to Minneapolis

We are led by sick, lying tyrants

Friend — Yesterday, in Minneapolis, ICE murdered an innocent woman named Renee Nicole Good in cold blood. Many of us saw the video. What happened was clear as day. The ICE officer who fired the fatal shots had no reason to even draw his weapon. It was not self-defense. But that’s not stoppi…
