ICE officers in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman in a car, but details of the shooting remained unclear, with conflicting accounts from local and federal officials. The shooting took place about a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Follow updates.

Two of them made it into a bipartisan housing package that cuts the red tape to accelerate construction of affordable apartments. I look forward to voting on this package when it reaches the House Floor.
