Huge turnout in Saint Paul — Ward 1, Precinct 10 at DFL caucuses tonight in SD64; I even got roped in to convene tonight. Lots of energy around the state!

It’s deeply disturbing that after all the trauma students, families, and educators endured following the abduction of Liam Conejo Ramos, even now after he has been freed and safely returned to Minnesota someone appears to be making threats against out of anger that a five-year-old is not imprisoned.

It didn't take very long for it to seem entirely reasonable for a mom to hide her identity while speaking to reporters in order to protect her child's school from being targeted by the secret police.

Judge Katherine Menendez denied a request for a temporary restraining order on Saturday. That's not the end of the story.

The federal occupation of Minneapolis has devastated our small businesses. Particularly, our immigrant-owned businesses.

That’s why I’m working with my colleagues to bring forward a $5 million “Small Business Resiliency Fund” for small businesses impacted by “immigration enforcement”. 1/

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Biery is a very unique judge and, having practiced in his court, I had no clue how this case would go. So glad to see this result.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery's order, issued Saturday morning, requires that Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias and his son, Liam Conejo Ramos, be released from federal custody while their immigration case proceeds through the court system. Biery's order requires they be released by Tuesday.

one thing being lost in discourse is that rapid response networks are just a tool. they aren’t the end all, be all here. the actual goal is to connect with neighbors! and now with the leaks, they’re not being handed out like they were

go talk to your neighbors to find a chat! or you can make one!

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

Senator Amy Klobuchar has officially entered the race to become the 42nd Governor of Minnesota.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Today I learned that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services created a fake appointment to entrap a Minneapolis Public Schools parent while she was with her kindergarten-aged child. I hate that this is not the first time we’ve seen these disgusting tactics.

This was a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Let’s end the era where these corporations control politicians.
A letter released Sunday by the leaders of more than 60 Minnesota companies — including the CEOs of Target, General Mills, UnitedHealth Group and 3M — called for local and federal leaders to “come together to foster progress.”
Live: Minnesota's high-profile CEOs break silence, call for ‘immediate deescalation’
The letter marks a notable shift from Minnesota’s top employers, who had previously remained quiet about the surge of immigration officials in the state and the killing of Renee Good.

Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I — as a state leader — should ask the federal government for, I’m available.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march.

This am, ICE responded with violence.

Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help.

This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight

ICE is not welcome here.
