Since the Main Street fire in Madelia 10 years ago, the community has come together to rebuild. I’ve seen firsthand how local leaders, small businesses, and neighbors never gave up. This is what resilience looks like in Minnesota. www.startribune.com/a-decade-ago...

Aliya Rahman’s testimony described being dragged from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis while on her way to a doctor’s appointment. Her courage in sharing that terrifying story underscores the fear so many Minnesotans are facing and why ICE must leave our state.

Renee Good’s brother Brent Ganger: “Renee believed kindness mattered, and she lived that belief even when things were hard.” Renee’s life shows how ordinary acts of care and compassion can push back the darkness.

I joined many Minnesota doctors, nurses, and caregivers at Orchestra Hall for a vigil organized by WeCare to honor the life of Alex Pretti. He will be remembered for his deep compassion for veterans and their families as a VA ICU nurse.

My mom taught 2nd grade until she was seventy. People still tell me she was their favorite teacher. As I said to the Education MN conference, day and night, our teachers are doing it all. They're keeping students learning and bringing essentials to families scared to leave home because of ICE.

Tonight I spoke at a powerful vigil hosted by VA workers to honor Alex Pretti, a devoted VA ICU nurse who cared for our veterans. His last words — “Are you okay?” — reflect the compassion he brought to his work and his life, and now inspire Minnesotans and our nation.

The ICE surge is making it harder for Minnesota police departments across the state to do their jobs. What happened in St. Peter is just one more way that ICE is making us less safe.

Welcome home, Liam. A 5-year-old should be in school and with family — not in detention. I’m relieved he and his father are finally headed back to Minnesota. Now ICE needs to leave.

Minnesota has been at the center of America's heartbreak, but every day I’m inspired by how our state keeps showing up with compassion and resolve. This week I met with faith leaders who are at the forefront of the efforts to get ICE out of Minnesota.

Trump promised lower costs. Instead he delivered the opposite: higher costs, chaos, and corruption. This November’s election is an opportunity for us to stand up and do what is right for our state and our country.

My job is to stand my ground. Fix what’s broken. Make life better for people. This is a hard moment for our state — which only makes it more important. Don’t look down. Don’t look away from each other. Look to the North Star. If we believe good can prevail, it will.

I took to the Senate floor to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two good people who should both be alive today. Renee leaves behind three children. Her wife said “kindness radiated out of her…she literally sparkled.” Alex was a VA ICU nurse who cared for our veterans, often in their final hours.

Officer Panning is absolutely right: ICE’s presence is making our communities less safe and making local law enforcement’s jobs more difficult.

“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...

Two Minnesotans—Renee Good, a devoted mother of three, and Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who served our veterans—are gone, killed by federal agents. The Trump Administration is trying to block fair, transparent investigations into their deaths. We need justice and cannot let anyone hide the truth.

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.

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.
