This appears to be an execution by immigration enforcement. I am absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled that federal agents murdered another member of our community. It is beyond shameful these federal agents are targeting our residents instead of protecting them. This

In Minnesota, we are resilient. We are courageous. And we will not be intimidated by a fraudster president who reaches for the same old playbook of lies, racism, and deflection every time his administration fails to deliver for the American people.

Trump's State Department says the Central African Republic is too dangerous to visit. So why are we deporting people there when they have no ties? Once again, this policy is illegal, inhumane, and unacceptable.

Republicans want to send ICE another $70 billion. With that money, we could: - Pay for two years of free childcare for over 1 million kids - Extend the ACA premium tax credits by at least a year - Cancel 1/3 of Americans' medical debt Abolish ICE. Invest in working Americans.

The Minneapolis Police Department is supporting the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office in response to an ongoing law enforcement situation at W 28th Street and Nicollet Ave in South Minneapolis. Please avoid the area until further notice.

Surprise, surprise: Trump's top labor prosecutor sided with Amazon, her former client, and hurt delivery drivers in their fight for fair working conditions. It’s her responsibility to hold law-breaking companies accountable — not to give Trump's billionaire buddies bailouts.

I have always, and will continue, to stand with the Ukrainian people and unequivocally condemn Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion. I voted against the Ukraine Support Act because of its inclusion of broad economic sanctions. Time and again, sanctions like these fail to achieve

This is horrifying. A private prison corporation is profiting off the forced labor of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall. People are being denied access to basic medical care & sanitation. They're given rotten food to eat. It's not enough to shut these facilities down. Abolish ICE.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew on Delaney Hall, where detainees are paid $1/day or less for their work and are on hunger strike: "This is better treatment than people generally receive... the conditions are better than 90% of the world lives in, and probably half of America."

Israel's war in Lebanon has killed thousands of civilians and displaced over a million — and the United States is bankrolling this terror. It's unconscionable. We must pass @RepRashida's War Powers Resolution and stop the United States' complicity in Israel's war crimes.

The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's war in Iran. Americans have made it clear that they want no part in this reckless war. Last month, Republicans pulled down the vote because they knew we had the support to pass it. Tonight, let's get it done.
