Yesterday, I shared that ICE’s surge operation is ending in Minnesota. Today I want to emphasize something very important — what happened here didn’t stay here.
The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
The 130 kids missing from a school every day because their families were afraid.
The restaurants down 50 to 80 percent.
The detainees at the Whipple building denied lawyers and pressured into signing their own deportation papers.
A federal judge, appointed by Trump himself, ruled that ICE likely violated people’s constitutional rights.
All of that went from the streets of Minneapolis to the floor of the United States Senate.
Yesterday, ICE’s acting director told senators that neither he nor CBP provided Secretary Noem any assessment that Alex Pretti was engaged in “domestic terrorism” — undercutting her public claims.
He also revealed that ICE cut training for new recruits nearly in half before sending agents into our communities with guns — the same communities where Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed.
Congress left town today without a deal and they won’t be back until February 23. Democrats have said they will not fund DHS without accountability for what happened here and real guardrails to prevent it from happening in the next city — potentially your city.
This isn’t “politics” — these are people’s families and lives, and we all have to take a stand.
What’s happening now is the direct result of people like you standing with us when it mattered most.
