Americans see this for what it is. Masked, untrained, undisciplined federal agents injuring and murdering people, wreaking havoc across the country. Time for it to end. ICE out.

I am a 'no' on the DHS funding bill. Not another penny for ICE. We cannot give more money to a group of cowards who are making our country less safe.

The President’s tariffs are causing chaos and uncertainty – and they’re raising costs for hardworking families. These tariffs were a choice by the President. They need to be repealed.

No one is above the law or accountability. Secretary Noem should resign or be fired, but President Trump continues to stand by even his most dangerous admin officials. The House is right to move forward with an investigation into Secretary Noem. Americans deserve accountability and transparency.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the lives of the six million Jews killed. Never again means looking back to condemn these atrocities and always looking ahead to commit to speaking out against all forms of anti-Semitism.

When Republicans took away health care from millions of families last year, they also gave ICE $75 billion, making it the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the U.S. Now they want to give even more money to an ICE agency on the rampage? Hell no. I will vote no.

Each of the 6 million men, women, and children killed in the Holocaust had a story. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember and honor their stories and lives. We must always work to combat antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

ICE agents should be held to the same standards as law enforcement officers who patrol our communities every day–but they’re not, and the horrific killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are the result.

I know that many of my Republican colleagues agree that we need to restore the enhanced premium tax credits so that families can afford health care coverage. They know that Americans want Congress to act to bring down costs. Republicans must work with us to find a bipartisan solution.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jews & millions of others murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators in one of the darkest chapters in world history.

Senate Republicans must be on the right side of history and help rein in Trump's lawless agents. No more hard-earned taxpayer dollars on ICE or Border Patrol. No more lies. We need guardrails against their abuses, independent investigations and accountability.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember & mourn the 6 million Jews killed by Nazi genocide. We will not be passive bystanders to atrocities or let liars whitewash history. We must commit ourselves to rooting out antisemitism, hatred, & bigotry wherever it grows.

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry. It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.

People across Minnesota (50,000 strong last Friday) and Police Chiefs, mayors, business and community leaders have joined together and sent the White House a message: Get ICE out of our state. Minnesotans are using their voices and showing the world how to stand up for our democracy.

“The American people demand and deserve secure borders. The American people also believe every human being should be treated with dignity and respect, and these reports of unacceptable abuse and mistreatment shock the conscience and demand accountability.” –Sen. Ossoff www.ajc.com/news/2026/01...

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. When the New START treaty expires next week, there will be nothing stopping a new nuclear arms race. Trump and Putin could agree today to stick with New START limits. We can turn back the clock.

Speaking out matters. Trump is not inevitable. Republicans in Congress are FINALLY calling for hearings and accountability. They even sent that vile, grandstanding camera hound, Bovino, packing from Minnesota. There's a long way to go, but your voice DOES matter.

“Ordering the head of a agency to appear is an extraordinary step,” wrote Chief Judge Schiltz, a former clerk for Justice Scalia. “But the extent of ICE’s violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It’s only been a year of Trump, and already under his regime, two Americans have been killed by federal agents in broad daylight, millions of Americans can no longer afford health care, and the cost of energy, groceries, and housing is straining families. America deserves better.

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown. It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action. How did Senate Republicans respond? By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check. They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

Minnesota has been the center of America’s heartbreak—but we are also the center of America’s courage and hope. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things: they have stood up, marched, brought food to their neighbors, and they have not blinked. I am so proud of our state.

Renee Macklin Good should be alive today. Alex Pretti should be alive today. Under Secretary Noem, ICE agents are armed, masked, and given license to do whatever they want. I will vote against any government funding package that includes more funding for ICE.

The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.
