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! 🏎️

ICE cannot be allowed to operate with such recklessness. And shame on Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and others for pouring gas on the fire by calling this domestic terrorism and seeking to incite escalation. 3/3

People across the country have been living in fear that a situation like this could happen. We’ve seen Blackhawk helicopters used above our citizens and aggressive actions used all over our nation. 2/3

I just saw the video footage of an ICE officer shooting an American citizen. I’m still processing it as it was incredibly disturbing. There must be an immediate investigation. 1/3

I also join them in demanding justice & accountability for this American killed by an ICE agent; for this community, which has been terrorized by lawless immigration agents; & for our country, which deserves a gov't that follows the law & abides by the basic values of our Constitution. 3

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/

We need a full investigation into what happened in Minneapolis. I’m horrified by what I’ve seen. ICE is not above the law. (2/2)

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.

Judges shouldn’t have to look over their shoulder every time they write an opinion. Donald Trump and MAGA’s attacks are putting judges and their families at risk.

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.

After promising to end forever wars, Trump must explain to the American people why he wants to drag the US into another armed conflict.
- RB
There appears to be no clear justification or exit strategy. Trump is seemingly conducting a continuing military operation not a law enforcement action. Maduro is in custody, but an American armada remains poised to invade again. They must come to Congress for approval.
- RB
Today's classified briefing gave me absolutely zero comfort. Continuing military action & unrest in Venezuela risk spiraling out of control.
- EW
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.
- JH
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.

This briefing left us with more questions than answers—the only answer we have is one they didn’t give us. Why invade Venezuela? It’s all for Big Oil’s private profit. Americans are paying for the foreseeable future for this Admin to do oil companies’ dirty work.
- LR
This is tragic. My prayers are with the victim, her family, and the Minneapolis community. The agents deployed by this administration are untrained for these situations, ultimately doing more harm than good and making our communities less safe. They must de-escalate before more people get hurt.

Senator Smith is right. ICE must immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to prevent further escalation. I am horrified by eyewitness accounts of masked ICE agents shooting someone in the head and killing them.

What began with a bold military/intelligence feat (much credit to our professionals) is already souring as Trump fossil fuel corruption intrudes. They can’t help themselves.

Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First. How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

More like "the dangers of Republican politicians who want to ban abortion and control women's bodies." Looking forward to discussing the science that unequivocally shows mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential.

So Trump’s henchmen, Zeldin, Burgum and Wright, lie about the cost savings and try to blockade clean energy, in a massive scam to pay back his big fossil fuel donors out of utility customers’ pockets, through raised electricity rates. Don’t be fooled!
- SW
But there’s a problem: Trump’s big fossil fuel donors don’t want to lose that revenue as their expensive plants get idled, and their fossil fuel dealers don’t want to lose the revenue from selling them the polluting fossil fuels. They paid good money to elect Trump!
- SW
Why is that true? Because clean offshore wind displaces higher-cost fossil fuel plants that would otherwise have to run. Great for utility customers, to the tune of “hundreds of millions of dollars each year”!
- SW
“Once operational, Revolution Wind alone will provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year in energy bill savings to New England,” is the punchline. Stated under oath, in a sworn affidavit.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.
- MW
Trump is more worried about controlling foreign oil than he is about Americans not being able to afford the cost of living. This is not putting America first.
video
- PM
I was just "briefed" on the strike in Venezuela & it's clear Trump has NO serious plan for what happens next. Americans don't want to be dragged into another costly foreign conflict, and they don't want “boots on the ground” fighting a war for Big Oil. No war. No occupation.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.
