I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤

Just asking for a MN Gov candidate w ICE messaging as strong as *checks again* Bill Kristol
C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

I would love to see some comprehensive reporting on what, exactly, the governor, mayor, police departments and sheriffs DID concede to ICE. Because these negotiations still seem extremely vague and unclear.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt says her office's policies remain unchanged ("we have not entered into any new agreements despite what some influential leaders have conveyed") and defends her deputies' actions at the Whipple federal building.
