Always proud of our Somali American law enforcement officers. You protect our cities with courage and integrity, despite the noise and unfair targeting. Your service makes Minnesota safe and stronger. Thank you.

80,000 Somali-Americans in Minnesota work in schools, care for seniors, and serve our community. As a former prosecutor, I’ve strongly supported prosecuting the fraud cases, but the President has chosen to call 80,000 Somali-Americans “garbage.” These hateful attacks must stop.

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on winning the New York City mayoral race. This is a hopeful moment for leadership grounded in service, inclusion, and community. Wishing him success as he works to bring people together and move the city forward—without hate or division.

Honored to meet Colin @Kaepernick7 — a powerful voice for justice, equity, and courage in leadership.

Honored to receive the Legacy Service Award from the Somali Community Center of MN. Thank you to Executive Director Hassanen Mohamed and my boss, Senior U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, for your inspiring words and constant support. Grateful! 🙏🏽 #LegacyServiceAward #GivingBack

Breaking: tonight, in the city of Lasanod, the SSC Grand Conference has officially adopted the name “North Eastern State of Somalia” for the emerging Federal Member State. In a significant step forward, delegates also unanimously ratified the Constitution of the new state.

On this special Memorial Day, I had a productive breakfast meeting with Mr. Ahmed Elmi, Executive Director of Metro Schools. We discussed expanding educational opportunities for our children. Mr. Elmi is an outstanding leader who gives his all to support students!

Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre’s historic visit to #Laascaanood reaffirms Somalia’s unity and demonstrates support for communities affected by displacement and conflict. Somalia remains one nation, and the government will always serve all its people. @SomaliPM @MFASomalia

It was great to join the Minnesota Institute of Horn of Africa Studies and the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs for an Iftar Dinner Celebration.   The evening was a reminder that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.

Somalia: U.S. Embassy Mogadishu is tracking credible information related to potential imminent attacks against multiple locations in Somalia including Mogadishu’s Aden Adde International Airport. All movements of U.S. Embassy Mogadishu personnel have been cancelled until further

Mayor Tom Kuntz of Owatonna, MN, has retired after 21 years of dedicated service. A great leader and public servant, he consistently welcomed immigrant communities. In 2004, he appointed me as a Human Rights Commissioner. I sincerely thank him and wish him a happy retirement!

We condemn the ISIS terrorist attack against the @Pldefenceforce on February 11 in Puntland. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families of the brave Puntland Security Forces soldiers who lost their lives in the attack.

I’m not kidding when I say our farmers feed the world. We’re a top five state for ag exports – with over a hundred countries across the globe looking to our state’s workforce to put food on the table. The world recognizes the value of doing business with Minnesota.
