ALT SD62 members condemn the extrajudicial killing of a legal observer that happened in our district this morning. Constitutional observers are a vital part of preserving the legal rights of our immigrant neighbors in Minneapolis, and this killing must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We mourn the loss of our neighbor taken from us by this violence, and stand with those impacted by the terror and fear ICE seeks to sow in our communities. Many of us grew up learning about the horrors of Nazi Germany - some of us may have experienced them firsthand. We know through the stories told by victims and survivors alike that while they started attacking one class of people, it did not stop there. When we say “never again,” we mean it - we must be a bulwark against these evil and illegal acts in our communities and we agree with Mayor Frey that “ICE needs to get the fuck out of our city.”

ALT Further, we call on our elected leaders who have cast votes and spoken in support of ICE and legislation such as the Laken Riley act to immediately advocate for a full repeal of funding for ICE and to ensure those who have perpetrated such crimes against humanity are held accountable with the full effect of the law. We refuse to be cowed by the terror and fear the Trump regime is fomenting.

ALT We here at SD62 are working with state leadership and within our own community to find the best ways to support our immigrant neighbors, including those who wish to participate in caucuses. We want to ensure you all are able to caucus safely and securely on February 3rd, but we also recognize the Trump regime is doing everything in their power to drive fear and terror through our communities, including attacking the democratic process directly. We urge you to use the non-attendee form for caucus night, no matter what your plans are. Filling out this form does not prevent you from showing up in person, but it does offer you the chance to participate even if not able to do so in person. That form is available here: (link) If you have any additional questions or need any assistance, please reach out to sd62community@gmail.com and we will do our best to connect you to the appropriate resources. In solidarity, SD62 Leadership

ALT Post from Minnesota Senate District 60 DFL that reads: Minnesota Must Stand Against Fear and Intimidation The Trump administration has deployed ICE officers across Minneapolis and St. Paul, specifically targeting our Somali community. There have been several credible reports of ICE abducting and harassing our neighbors in Minneapolis over the last several days. We will not be silent as families are harassed in their homes, workplaces, and streets. This is an attack on our community and our values. Somali Minnesotans are the backbone of this state’s fabric. Attempts to criminalize, dehumanize, or terrorize them are unacceptable — and we stand firmly against it. If you’re at risk, know your rights and keep documentation with you. If you witness ICE activity, act as a peaceful legal observer and document what you see. Our message is simple: we do not, and will not turn our backs on our neighbors. We will continue to protect one another. In solidarity, Senate District 60 DFL

ALT I am saddened and angered that ICE is operating around the University of Minnesota. Our campuses should be a safe place for all students, staff, and visitors. I am monitoring the situation closely, and encourage you to stay vigilant and well-informed. We must stand up against the Trump administration’s senseless demonization of our friends, family, and neighbors.
