Pretty stunning to think that the subject of an order to block destruction of evidence is the U.S. government. It’s TrumpWorld.

Virginians: Your voice matters to me. We’re understandably hearing from a lot of folks right now. My team is doing its best to answer every call, but if you don’t want to wait on hold, you can always send a message through my website – every single one gets read.

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. They must be reined in. I’ll be voting no on the Homeland Security funding bill.

We begin the day with some words from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on what it means to be “ever faithful” to the law and the rights of the people of Minnesota.

Don't forget: When Republicans passed their Big Disastrous Bill, they took money out of your wallet and your healthcare to fund this lawlessness and the killing of American citizens.

There have been 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year. Trump’s agents committed two of them: a mom and a nurse who cared for our Veterans. Stay the hell out of our cities.

We are united in outrage. This needs to be a point where we say ENOUGH and refuse to vote on this DHS funding bill as it currently stands.

When the Vice President tells law enforcement they’re above the law, people die. A U.S. citizen was killed in cold blood and the message from the White House is clear: zero consequences. This won’t stop without accountability.

I visited Every Meal, which helps feed hungry kids in Minnesota, and spoke with Doug, who has been volunteering there for years. The volunteers at Every Meal and so many people across our state are standing up to help our neighbors being hurt by ICE’s attacks.

You may have voted for him. You may have supported what he said Operation Metro Surge was going to be. But it’s okay to say you changed your mind. It’s okay to say he’s gone too far.

As California’s first Senator on the Agriculture Committee in more than 30 years, it was my honor to address CA farmers at the 46th annual EcoFarm Conference in Monterey County! CA farmers and farm workers are facing unprecedented challenges, and I’m proud to be their champion in Washington.

Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. 🧵

Since the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal forces, I have heard from Michiganders of all political persuasions — including folks who actively avoid politics. That's because Michiganders see themselves in what is happening in Minnesota. And it is not just isolated to Minnesota.

I’m not voting for the ICE funding bill. ICE is invading my state and communities across the country, has cut training from 5 months to just 47 days because Trump is the 47th president, and is ramming into people’s houses without a judicial warrant. They are making Minnesota less safe.

I’m not voting for one more dime for ICE or CBP. These agents are provoking chaos and conflict in American cities and killing people in cold blood.

The White House called Alex Pretti an “assassin.” They called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist.” And their investigations are shutting out local officials. They tell Americans not to believe ‘their lying eyes.’ But no one can believe a word they say.

MAGA DAG Blanche on Pretti killing: “make no mistake about it, you cannot look at a ten-second video and judge what happened.” So will you do a legit investigation, or sweep it under the rug like Renee Good killing?

When a federal officer kills a U.S. citizen amid a pattern of unlawful enforcement practices, there must be accountability and change. I will not vote for additional funding for DHS or ICE this week.

The Wall Street Journal questions the Trump administration version of events. Pretty soon, no one will believe them.

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution. 1st Amendment: peaceful assembly. 2nd Amendment: Alex Pretti was a lawful gun owner. 4th Amendment: unreasonable search and seizure. You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

Our independent watchdogs are failing the American people. ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago. They are killing people in Minneapolis. Then turn around and lie to our faces. If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??

I will be voting no on the DHS funding bill because it lacks necessary reforms to immigration enforcement.
- PM
Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE. ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

I’m a NO on DHS funding without strict restraints & comprehensive reforms to stop lawless, lethal violence led from the top. Americans are rightly terrified & outraged by the illegal brutality—police state tactics—we’re watching in real time. It must be stopped. 1/

Five times as many Vermonters have dropped their ACA health care plans this year compared to last year. Millions of families around the country are going to be filled with anxiety that an accident or an unexpected illness could bankrupt them. And it's because of President Trump.

They just took food away from hungry families to pay for a militarized police force that is killing people and ripping families apart. It’s a moral tragedy.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse at the VA. His parents said he was “a kindhearted soul.” He was shot and killed by federal agents while trying to help a woman next to him who had been shoved to the ground. Our eyes don’t lie—Americans see what happened.

If we alienate our allies and partners in Europe and Canada, the only people who are celebrating that are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. They want to separate the transatlantic alliance and undermine NATO, and the President is playing right into those interests.

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted. Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.” Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

Please take a minute to read this heartbreaking statement from Nurse Pretti’s family. After their son was killed in broad daylight, they are now forced to defend him against this administration’s lies. It’s another reason why Senate Democrats are united in rejecting this DHS spending bill.

50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems. The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him. ICE needs to leave.

This family statement is absolutely devastating to read. First, it should never have had to be written. The ease with which Trump’s admin takes someone’s life, and in this case a citizen, is disgusting and wrong. 1/2

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.
- CH
The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core. Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions. That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

I will vote NO on the funding bill for Trump’s ICE. They are killing Americans. Detaining children. Trampling our freedoms. We are losing our humanity. This is a defining moment for our nation. A moment for moral courage. We must stand together and say no.

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.
