He won his election by 15 votes. Never let anyone tell you your vote doesn't matter.
Just got off the phone with Opus - we stepped up and prevented an ICE facility in our community which would have harmed Minnesotans.
Great work, all!!!

Also we're getting data in that videos of ICE drive down Trump's approval more than any type of scripted content coming from Dems. If you want politics to be about anything else, get ICE out of Minnesota!

Being documented vs. undocumented is a spectrum. Lots of the people being detained and deported by ICE have permission to be in the U.S. — pending asylum claims or visa applications.
Max and I interviewed Frank, whose has a work permit and a pending application for a U visa — a visa available for victims of crimes in the U.S., so they can cooperate with law enforcement without fearing deportation.

I understand why people dislike cops. But it's very important to recognize that ICE and DHS are not conducting themselves as cops. They are conducting themselves, at various moments, as an omnipresent secret police, and as a completely unaccountable invading army. Totally separate from policing.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.

My state rep is doing more to let us know what is happening in my community than anyone at the statewide or federal level, I can't even imagine how little I would know if the other guy won the election.
No one in Shakopee is asking for this. No one voted for this. To try and build this facility without the community’s voice involved highlights ICE’s complete disregard for Minnesotans.
ICE cannot build a detention facility in Shakopee.

How the fuck would Tom Emmer know who the actual Minnesotans are? He's never here for an in-person town hall.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."
