Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

On both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti situations: If the federal agents ever had to go under oath in front of jury questioned by a real lawyers about what they did they would get absolutely destroyed. They are only getting away with this because the govt won’t allow that.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.
As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

The House GOP point person for election issues asked ten states how their voter registration systems verify citizenship.
The demands come as Republicans draft "an even stronger" version of the SAVE Act, which already sought to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration.
