I’m outraged. Our kids are living in terror under this unjust federal occupation. No child should endure the cruelty being inflicted at the hands of the Trump regime. https://t.co/PmeWwVpnMa

What about the other 3300? They all need to go, the operation needs to end and we won't rest until it does.
Homan in Minnesota: "My goal, with the support of President Trump, is to achieve a complete draw down and end this surge as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners that we're seeing

I know they've told some real whoppers as they've been on their lawless rampage, but an ICE agent thinking he could get away with lying about shooting someone through the closed front door of a home is top notch. https://t.co/UOeRqpiX8F

Defense attorneys cited photos in challenging the government’s account of when the agent fired a shot that wounded the fleeing suspect.

Just a reminder as we go to caucus tonight that Angie Craig voted to fund, give more legal protections to, and commend ICE in the last 2 years and she stands by her votes.
Just now: ICE agents pull handguns and arrest observers who had been following them this morning in Minneapolis.

We deserve a Senator who puts Minnesotans first. Someone who sticks up for everybody. Someone who will work every day to build a country where people can afford to live the lives they want to live. That’s why I’m endorsing Peggy Flanagan to be our next United States Senator.

I have constituents in 192 units with horrific water damage, many with disabilities or children with disabilities. The damage is profound. I've asked County Public Health to make a formal request to the City of Minneapolis to go investigate this as the public health crisis it is.
At Cedar Riverside - E Building where there was an overnight flood. Nearly 200 units impacted with dirty water in units that include elderly and disabled residents. Working with @voteconley on the ground—City of Minneapolis refusing to inspect the units, protecting their donors.
