Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Communities in Minnesota are living in fear due to the violence and brutality perpetrated by ICE.

I'm in Minneapolis with @repilhan.bsky.social to meet with families, organizers and community organizations impacted by Trump's cruel mass deportation agenda.

This is the true face of MAGA. It's what Trump's ICE agents look like when no masks on. They are angry and dangerous. Trump is 100% the reason for the attack on Rep. Omar. How did Rep. Omar respond? "We will continue," she said. "These fucking assholes are not going to get away with this.”

A 2-year-old’s detention is part of an accelerating trend of what an attorney describes as ICE agents sending children and adults with legal immigration status out of state to avoid dealing with accountability from the federal court system.
‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond
ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and sending them to Texas within hours — in at least two cases against a judge’s order. ...

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Here it is. For the third time.

I'm calling on DHS and DOJ's IGs to heed the public outcry and finally launch a joint task force to investigate the horrific pattern of brutality from Trump's agents, including the public execution of Alex Pretti.

We demand accountability. Now.

Alex Pretti was a beloved son and Minneapolis community member.

He loved the outdoors and dedicated his days to taking care of our veterans as an ICU nurse at the VA.

While protecting a fellow community member, he was violently executed in broad daylight by a group of masked federal agents.

ICE is a threat to public safety.

Killing U.S. citizens. Kidnapping Americans. Ignoring the Constitution.

That’s not law enforcement — that’s weaponization and abuse of power.

And the cruelty starts at the top.
