FACTS about the “immigration crackdown.” Only ~7% had convictions for violent crimes. In DC over 80% had NO criminal record. ICE custody data showed roughly 72% had no conviction at all. It’s just our neighbors.

I wrote this op ed after watching immigration enforcement move into everyday life in Minnesota. It explores how the politics that once questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama have evolved into a system that now places the burden of proof on entire communities.

I am deeply appalled by this social post. Disagreement on policy is part of public life, but belittling our neighbors and attacking public servants, especially in this manor, tears at the very fabric of our community. This behavior is corrosive, and unacceptable. 1/2

In 2008, I walked out of the voting booth feeling like I was floating because I had voted for something, not against someone.
That is the energy I am bringing to Minneapolis. Let’s build a city worth voting for.
