Imagine the terror that a family faces when an ICE officer forcibly enters the privacy of their home without a judge’s warrant.
The conduct of ICE is disgraceful and un-American. I say that as a Governor, and even more so as a parent.

I haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law.
1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos
2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota

Today, I sent a letter and this video to President Trump requesting a major disaster declaration following December's historic storms.
I'm also requesting FEMA open Individual Assistance funds for survivors in affected counties and Tribal nations, an estimated $21.3 million.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Currently, Indigenous people are housed in the ICE facility in Minnesota. We want to make it clear that this isn’t isolated to Minnesota, nationwide indigenous people are being harassed if not outright targeted by ICE operations. We need to be more vocal about these issues!

Nationally, homelessness increased 18.1% in 2024.
In California, it went up just 0.4% in 2024 — lower than 44 states.
And last year, in 2025, California’s unsheltered homeless population decreased 9%.
Tremendous progress has been made, but there’s more work to do!
