Our immigrant neighbors strengthen our nation—regardless of where they’re from. Our Somali community is no exception. Targeting people based on background isn’t leadership. When the President responds with division and racism, it’s un-American and against everything we stand for.

Honored to celebrate Hmong New Year this weekend with our community and The United Hmong Family. For the past 50 years, Hmong families, elders, and leaders have shaped a legacy that drives us forward. Their resilience fuels progress and inspires generations. Nyob Zoo Xyoo Tshiab!

Wishing all a happy Thanksgiving. Let us reflect on the people and blessings that truly matter. I also extend my gratitude for our first responders, healthcare workers, military members, and service employees who are away from family. May we all find joy and connection today.

For the second time in as many weeks, federal immigration officers created chaos in our streets. While we cannot control their actions, we must not let ICE fracture the trust that we built together. We are conducting a full review of every use of force. Read my full statement.

We remember the lives stolen by anti-transgender violence. Individuals who identify as trans are four times more likely to be a victim. Everyone deserves to live safely and authentically. In Saint Paul, it's in our individuality that we find strength. #TransDayOfRemembrance

We said from the beginning state law bars us from enforcing basic provisions like requiring every gun to have a serial number. The only thing more absurd is the MN Gun Owners Caucus suing to prove us right. Doing nothing about gun violence is not an option. We’re ready to act.
