Hope it's helpful, please feel free to share where it might be useful (and submit questions).

This is a political stunt. There are still over 2000 agents actively terrorizing our communities.

🗣️ We said ICE out of our neighborhoods — all of them, now.

Tomorrow, we will go to federal court to continue to fight for all evidence to be preserved for a full and transparent state investigation.

I am not asking for patience. My office is working around the clock on multiple incidents regarding federal agents' use-of-force.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti should still be alive. 🕯️ We lost another beloved neighbor today to ICE’s cruelty.

💔 Alex was our union sibling. He was a Veterans Affairs Hospital ICU Nurse and member of AFGE union. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a brother, son, and Minnesotan. He should still be alive right now. 💔
