Tomorrow the House is voting on DHS funding.
Not only should ICE receive NO funding, it should be abolished.

Our Founders entrusted elections to states in our republic to prevent interference by a
rogue president.
I vehemently oppose Trump’s call to “nationalize the voting”.
Do you?
A federal judge halted the Trump administration’s move to end TPS for Haitians, saying plaintiffs are likely to prevail and protections remain. newsweek.com/judge-blocks-tr…

No way. Minnesota won’t sit by as the federal government tries to “take over” or “nationalize” our state-run elections.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia."

Liam Ramos' father's message to Trump and DHS:
"Rule with compassion. Have a heart, especially when it comes to children."

I expect the federal government to provide the requested information, documents and physical items to our office.
They have been clear that they are not conducting an investigation into Renee Good's death.
We are.

Liam is finally back home where he belongs, but Trump's DHS should never have taken this 5-year-old boy to begin with.
The cruelty must end. And there must be accountability for scarring an innocent child for life.
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos received a wings pin in the cockpit on his flight back to Minneapolis.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.

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.
Like I have been saying, ICE is unconstitutional. Abolish ICE.

Ha sido un año difícil para nuestra comunidad. Este premio es un rayo de luz que necesitábamos.
Aunque haya gente que quiera decir lo contrario: los latinos—con nuestra música, nuestra cultura y nuestra historia—somos parte de esta nación. Y ningún presidente puede cambiar eso.

This was at Powderhorn Park this morning. The park in front of my house. The park where my children play. The park where we walk our dog. The park where my wife and I took long walks while we planned our wedding, planned our home renovations, planned for our growing family. (1/7)

What is the banality of evil?
It is the refusal to stop and think. It is the failure to pause and ask, why does the United States government in its 250th year of independence want to imprison more than 100,000 people in warehouses?

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal.
The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling.
But will this Congress, which brayed endlessly about the "Biden crime family," probe it?
Not a chance.

🔥 Fmr. Rep. Jason Lewis via @MNThinkTank podcast:
"When you get morons like Michael Brodkorb or Arne Carlson spewing the Democrat talking points, and Republicans listen to that, that is all you need to know..."
I think Lewis is still upset that the South lost the Civil War.
