Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

Today, I am testifying in DC about what Operation Metro Surge is doing to the people of Minnesota.

Congress is supposed to oversee DHS. I'll demand that Congress does its job and reins in this lawless agency.

Minnesotans deserve safety without fear.

When our communities are under attack, we don’t sit back β€” we organize and get to work.

I’m ready for what’s next and to continue serving as your People’s Lawyer.

Read research by political scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan which indicate that peaceful protests are most effective.

I am not going to let my grandchildren say, β€œGrandpa Keith saw it coming, but he stayed quiet because we weren’t immigrants.” Happy African American History Month everyone.

This order further protects Minnesotans from Trump’s devastating and unlawful cuts to childcare services. This is a tremendous relief and protects low-income families from having to choose between going to work to pay the bills and staying home to provide childcare.

I spoke with local business leaders about how Operation Metro Surge is affecting their workers, their families, and their futures. The impacts will be felt for generations. This must end.

Why is ICE targeting Minneapolis and Minnesota? Because they have a functioning welfare state.

When NPR asked what federal agents should do now, my answer was simple:
Leave. Immediately.

The split screen between Donald Trump and Minnesota protestors could not be more stark. Proud of those standing up for freedom and the rule of law. @keithellison.bsky.social

Great turnout at the Washburn High School DFL caucus meeting. This is how people β€” not fear or money β€” shape what our party fights for.

This moment calls for participation, not disengagement. Authoritarian politics depend on people feeling isolated and powerless.

Tonight at South High, caucus-goers showed they’re pushing back against fear and division β€” organizing, setting priorities, and building power locally.

First stop: My neighborhood DFL caucus meeting at North High.

Caucuses are a place where everyday folks help decide what political parties stand for and who carries those values forward. Grateful to all those who showed up tonight to participate in democracy.

I’m grateful to Judge Biery for helping to bring Liam Ramos and his father Adrian home.

But it is a sign of how far we are from the normal rule of law that a judge even had to issue a decision like this one.

Authoritarianism grows when people are pushed out of the process and told their voices don’t matter.

Caucuses are one way we push back. They’re where neighbors come together, organize, and decide the future of our party and our state.

Talk about a split-screen moment.

Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather peacefully protesting for our very democracy. Trump is in a tuxedo, going to a ball, rolling around in luxury.

You tell me who the patriots are here.

Watched the live-stream. All the speeches were personal and heartwarming.

Thank you for being there and for speaking so well, Keith.

I’m inspired by the stories of those who knew Alex and all who gathered last night at the vigil hosted by his union siblings with AFGE. I’ll carry his spirit forward by fighting for justice, compassion, and the world he believed in.
