Right now, rental support is one of the greatest needs in the metro for families - especially immigrant families. Evictions are on the rise again & so is the # of families who no longer feel safe going to work. This is the right move & I look forward to proposing something similar here in St. Paul!
The Minneapolis City Council allocated $1 million to help residents pay rent as part of an effort to help immigrants who have lost income amid the federal immigration crackdown.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

When the Governor says the world is watching - he’s 100% correct. This past weekend, I joined @aljazeera.com to talk about the harm ICE is causing Minnesotans. We see clearly who this siege on our City is working for & it’s not us. Full video can be found here: youtu.be/2YqIUw-CW-A

Them: SD67 - one of the SD’s with low voter turnout?
Me: Yes. This year - line was out the door! MN is not backing down!
