Minnesota has now been turned into a war zone by a federal government that has lost sight of the values that make America great.

We must impeach Kristi Noem and abolish ICE.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

The difference between the president and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion.

He lacks both of those things.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse at the VA. His parents said he was β€œa kindhearted soul.”

He was shot and killed by federal agents while trying to help a woman next to him who had been shoved to the ground.

Our eyes don’t lieβ€”Americans see what happened.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.

I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.

ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I am aware of a shooting involving an ICE agent at 34th Street & Portland. The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.
