Tomorrow, we will go to federal court to continue to fight for all evidence to be preserved for a full and transparent state investigation.

I am not asking for patience. My office is working around the clock on multiple incidents regarding federal agents' use-of-force.

Rest in power, Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

AFL-CIO Mourns Killing of Minneapolis Union Member, Reiterates Calls for ICE to Leave Minnesota:

The AFL-CIO mourns the senseless killing of another Minneapolis resident by federal agents. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a VA intensive care unit nurse and a member of AFGE Local 3669β€”a brother in our union family. Our thoughts are with Alex’s loved ones, his union siblings, and the people of Minneapolis at this devastating time. 

As tens of thousands of Minnesotans made clear peacefully and powerfully yesterday, the Trump administration’s horrific operationβ€”and their actions aimed at stoking violence and chaosβ€”must end. America’s unions join the call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. We demand local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability for this tragic and violent act, and for Congress to use its power to hold ICE accountable.
