Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan. Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.” This is who we lost yesterday.

Roberto Mondragón was a New Mexican through and through. He left an indelible impact on New Mexican politics and was a keeper of New Mexico’s history and cultural traditions. He may be gone, but his legacy will live on. My thoughts are with his family.

What we all saw yesterday, the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, was absolutely sickening. ICE does not belong in our neighborhoods.

The shooting in Minneapolis today by an ICE agent is deeply disturbing. We cannot have federal agents killing people in our neighborhoods. There must be a full investigation and accountability.

The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.” They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity. I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

Congressional Republicans are preventing the oversight of ICE actions across the country. We must stop the recklessness that put lives at-risk.

I'm deeply disturbed by the shooting in Minneapolis today. Immigration enforcement should be focused on going after violent criminals to make our communities safer, not hindering local law enforcement and sowing chaos. There must be a full investigation into what happened.

Donald Trump's decision to leave the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change does nothing to lower costs for Americans. Climate change isn't just dangerous—it's expensive. Not to mention this further erodes US leadership in the midst of an illegal war for oil in Venezuela.

As we mark one year from the start of the fires that devastated communities across Los Angeles. My heart is with them–especially Pacific Palisades and Altadena–as they mark one year since their loss and continue their recovery.

Masked federal agents terrorizing our communities at the behest of an authoritarian strongman has a name: fascism. I’ll continue to fight to get ICE out of our communities, and will fight to pass my bill to make sure all federal law enforcement display clear identification.

You deserve to know what the plan, or lack thereof, is in Venezuela. It’s time for the Trump administration to stop hiding behind classified briefings and answer your questions directly.

One year after the devastating Eaton & Palisades fires, we’re still waiting for the White House to release funding that families desperately need to recover. The fight is far from over, but @padilla.senate.gov and I are working everyday to make sure Californians get the assistance they deserve.

Earlier today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents killed a U.S. citizen, born and raised in Colorado, in a horrific & unnecessary shooting.

I have watched the video of the horrible ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis over & over. It is grotesque to hear Kristi Noem justify her killing as a response to "domestic terrorism” & for Trump to spread further lies on social media. [1/2]

The Trump plan is to put money from Venezuelan oil sales into offshore accounts? Sounds like a slush fund for Trump’s worst impulses and more evidence that his only concern is enriching himself and his big oil donors.

Under Trump, we’re witnessing increased, violent confrontations by federal immigration agents that are putting communities at risk, not keeping us safe. We must refuse to accept this as normal. There must be an immediate investigation and accountability.

This DoD review is clearly designed to shrink the number of women who bravely serve in combat roles, which would be devastating to our military readiness. Women have always made our military stronger— And they're more qualified to serve in combat than Hegseth is to be SecDef.

I am deeply troubled and saddened to hear that ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen earlier today. We know the Trump Admin is all too comfortable lying to Americans, which is why we need more details and a full, independent investigation into what happened instead of taking their word for it.
- LR
This isn't true. Watch the video. This officer was clearly unprepared to be in this situation and shouldn't have been there in the first place. This administration needs to take accountability.

ICE killing a woman in Minneapolis this morning is unspeakable. Now, the Trump Administration is blatantly lying about it, telling us not to believe our own eyes. I will stand up to Trump’s lies. I’m demanding accountability and will fight to get ICE out of our communities.

Conducting immigration enforcement doesn't mean you execute American citizens in the street. Yet DHS is already lying about what we can all see with our own eyes. Since Kristi Noem won't, state governments everywhere will need to hold out-of-control federal agents accountable.

Today I met with leadership at @NASCAR. We discussed the @MIspeedway, a Michigan treasure that generates over $400 million for our economy; NASCAR's youth racing program, and more. We have 51 NASCAR-affiliated speedways across our state, and I'm looking forward to attending a race this summer! 🏎️

This horrific tragedy was both predictable & preventable. For months, armed ICE & CBP agents have roamed American cities & brutally assaulted American citizens with seemingly no repercussions—& now, a woman is dead. My heart breaks for her family & loved ones. 1/

For months, we’ve been warning that Trump’s enormous growth and reckless empowerment of ICE – which has a bigger budget than the militaries of almost every country on earth – would have serious consequences. (1/2)

Whether you go in trying to do a limited military operation or not, at the end of the day, it’s American sons and daughters from places like Michigan that are called up. Watch my speech on Venezuela, War Powers and what President Trump is doing to distract you.

Trump and trigger-happy Marco Rubio owe the American people answers. Who’s running Venezuela? Are troops being deployed? What comes next? We don’t want another forever war. We want answers.

Today's classified briefing gave me absolutely zero comfort. Continuing military action & unrest in Venezuela risk spiraling out of control.

What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones. One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger. ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

Trump/Russia? Greenland gambit attacks NATO, as Putin wants. Venezuela gambit emboldens Putin on Ukraine, may be a de facto swap. Support for EU far right aligns with Putin. Please let’s not pretend there’s no Trump/Russia happening.

In the wake of the Venezuela military raid, the Trump Admin’s threats to Greenland’s independence are appalling & counterproductive.

Homeland Security’s description of what happened and the narrative they’re pushing clearly doesn’t match up with the videos we’re all seeing. They’re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes. I’ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

This is a tragedy, and I’m thinking of our neighbors to the West. We need an investigation into this incident and accountability. But this we do know: Trump is sending in masked agents into our neighborhoods, is causing chaos, and is not making our communities any safer.

One of Trump’s ICE agents killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. We need an immediate investigation into the ICE officer, accountability and justice. My heart goes out to the family and the people of Minnesota. ICE is clearly not making us safer. This needs to stop.

The footage out of Minneapolis is horrifying. ICE cannot continue their rein of terror across this country. Countless families separated and today a woman killed. We need an immediate, independent investigation into this shooting.

Abraham Lincoln on judges, March 1861: “It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.” He predicted MAGA attacks on the courts over a century ago.

I’m aware of the heartbreaking news out of Minneapolis and am monitoring the situation for additional updates. My prayers are with all impacted today.
