This is a political stunt. There are still over 2000 agents actively terrorizing our communities.
🗣️ We said ICE out of our neighborhoods — all of them, now.
1 in 4 Minnesotans participated in the Jan. 23 shutdown against ICE, or had a loved one who did.
Polling shows massive participation & support.

Powerful testimony today from Angie Clair about the devastating impacts of *all of this* on children and those who care for them. The trauma this is inflicting is profound.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 ICE OUT!
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.
AFSCME is heartbroken and outraged by the senseless murder of fellow union member Alex Jeffrey Pretti and the violence and intimidation enacted by this administration.
We will not let fear destroy the bonds that hold our communities together.
Disappointing to not see the words that have been ringing in our streets: ICE OUT NOW.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti should still be alive. 🕯️ We lost another beloved neighbor today to ICE’s cruelty.
💔 Alex was our union sibling. He was a Veterans Affairs Hospital ICU Nurse and member of AFGE union. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a brother, son, and Minnesotan. He should still be alive right now. 💔
America’s unions mourn the senseless killing by federal agents of our AFGE Local 3669 union brother and VA nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
We reiterate our call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed.
