How many Minnesotans need to die before they leave?

ICE needs to end this surge of agents now. It was clear two and a half weeks ago. It is especially clear now. Get out of Minnesota.

It's important for everyone across the country to know what is happening here in Minnesota. I was thankful for the opportunity to join PBS NewsHour and share some of what I am seeing.

This administration can "punish" our city, and they can "punish" our state, but they will never break our spirit.

This incident is important to me personally, but that’s not why it matters. Every single “raid” across our city and state involves someone who is important to someone.

I’m monitoring reports of the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis. ICE needs to end their so-called “operation” and leave our state immediately.

Today, I joined with @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social & Mayor Her to announce a joint lawsuit to end the unlawful and unprecedented surge of ICE agents in Minnesota.

People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted.

It has to stop.

With increased federal immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities, it’s important to know your rights. If immigration agents come to your home, take steps to protect yourself and your family. Learn what to do and find trusted local resources at: stpaul.gov/immigration-resources

From the West Side to West 7th and from the North End to the East Side, they are the fabric of our community and need our help now more than ever.

If you're able, please go out and support your local immigrant-owned restaurants, grocery stores, and shops today. ICE enforcement is harming their business and keeping their workers and customers scared and at home.

Just one week ago, Kaohly Her made history by becoming Saint Paul's first woman, Hmong, and Asian American mayor! Check out these inspiring highlights from her inaugural speech.

This week has been incredibly heavy for all of us. I wanted to share some thoughts, reflections, and actions we’re taking to stand up to this unprecedented incursion into our city.

Please know you are not alone. We are fighting back.

We cannot let them turn us against each other. Standing together is the only way we will get through these next few years.

Please be safe.

I am heartbroken. Renee Nicole Good should still be alive. 

I urge everyone to use caution as you express your right to protest this horrific action by federal law enforcement. These agents are unprepared for this job, and you should not put yourself in harm’s way because of their lack of training.

I am closely monitoring the situation in Minneapolis. My heart is broken for the victim, their family, and our community as a whole. I join Mayor Frey in demanding that ICE leave our cities immediately before they cause any further harm.

I may be the first, but I won't be the last! Let's get to work, Saint Paul!

Our state is better because of his leadership, I am a better public servant because of his example, and I will always be grateful for his partnership. I look forward to working with him over the next year as we make progress for all Saint Paulites.

I worked closely with the Governor when I was chair of the Pensions Committee to ensure that all Minnesotans get the retirements they deserve, when we increased the English Language Learner subsidy after it sat stagnant for decades, and passing tenant protections for renters so they have rights.

Governor Walz led our state through extraordinary times with grace and a steady hand. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
Minnesota has to come first - always.

Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.

I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Happy New Year, Saint Paul! 🎆 This past year has been one of the most sentimental and profound chapters of my life. Serving you is the honor of a lifetime.

Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me. Let’s make this year our best one yet. Happy New Year!

Congratulations to Fire Chief Butch Inks on his retirement today after 31 years of service to our city! I am so impressed by his care for staff, our city, and the work of keeping us all safe. We will miss his leadership in the city. Thank you, Chief!

Thank you to STP Public Works for hosting me as our plow drivers, parking enforcement officers, & snow emergency parking taggers prepared for tonight’s snow emergency. I enjoyed learning more about how we keep our streets clear & safe—and to hear directly from our drivers about new innovative ways!

Huge thank you to the Ward 2 and Councilmember Rebecca Noecker, St. Paul City Council Ward 2 for such an incredible and eye-opening tour today!

I’m feeling so inspired by the neighborhood leaders who shared their vision today. Thank you for letting me be a part of this important conversation!
