The Committee also heard a bill by @senronlatz.bsky.social that requires the Minnesota BCA to investigate cases involving the killing of Minnesota residents by federal agents operating in the state.
The Senate DFL is committed to holding ICE accountable. Renee Good & Alex Pretti deserve justice.

Minnesota AGβs evidence portal draws nearly 1,500 submissions
The evidence portal launched to gather photos and video that could be used to hold federal agents accountable for constitutional violations.
The Attorney Generalβs office and the Minnesota ACLU are in the midst of several legal cases that challenge federal agentsβ actions, requiring the evidence the public portals could help gather.

π¨Every single Republican on the House Education Policy Committee voted against legislation that would prevent ICE agents from storming into public schools without a warrant.
Minnesota Republicans would rather stand with Donald Trump than with our stateβs students, teachers, and families.

How Isle, population 800, became the only Minnesota city to sign an agreement to help ICE
The Mille Lacs Lake town stands to gain training and federal money for equipment in the deal.
Less than 1% of residents in this small Minnesota city were born in another country.
But for cooperating with ICE, Isle could get $100,000 for a new police car and $7,500 for equipment for each trained officer.

I try not to be this person too much, but watching the House committee deadlock on multiple good bills today I cannot tell you how frustrating it is when I hear folks dismiss elections.
A few hundred votes in 2-3 districts may be what decided whether Minnesotans get state rent and eviction relief.

The Minnesota House is evenly split. One GOP vote is all that's needed to pass bills that protect us from federal invasion.
It's also an election year. Voters calling their GOP representatives could make a world of difference. These people work for you, make them earn their checks this year.

Crop of original image. Daytime street level image of a sign reading SAINT PAUL CITY LIMITS mounted on two poles with some decorative metal work surrounding. The letters appear to have embedded light bulbs within them. A large key is suspended from the sign. Surrounding the sign are utility poles, a lamp post, a hydrant and a row of billboards advertising Stetson hats and bananas. A man stands looking squarely toward the camera underneath a CAR STOP sign. Several other figures are seen in the distant background, and a couple of parked cars.
The date cited appears as a stamp on the image (not shown) which is a photoprint. The full image, linked, shows the full streetscape including the Prospect Park Water Tower.

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.
