Slotkin Statement on the Shooting in Minnesota and Voting Against the Homeland Security Funding Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C.
—
Today, U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) released the following statement:
“This is what President Trump meant when he said he wanted to go after ‘the enemy within.’
“At every opportunity, he’s escalated violence against the people of Minnesota. Now, two American citizens have been killed by their own government as part of this operation.
“This is part of a continued, coordinated assault on our Constitutional rights — with specific focus on individuals and groups who disagree with this President.
“I will be voting against the Department of Homeland Security funding bill this week.
“As all Americans can see with their own eyes, ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President. And they must be reined in before there is more killing.”
