An assault on our democracy and the rule of law. Speaking out against what our government is doing is not a crime in America—not now, not ever.

I spoke at a Congressional hearing in St. Paul this morning about the chaos and fear ICE is creating in our state. Instead of de-escalating, the administration is doubling down—putting public safety at risk and making it harder for local law enforcement to do their jobs.

There are now more ICE agents in MN than there are police in the 10 largest metro police departments combined. Our Police Chief asked them not to come onto our streets, but the administration continues to escalate the situation. This is making Minnesota less safe.

It is completely unacceptable that law-abiding Minnesotans are being thrown to the ground, detained, pepper-sprayed, and threatened. This endangers public safety and is fundamentally un-American. www.startribune.com/have-yall-no...

In the 16 years since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, a flood of unlimited special interest money has been spent to influence our elections. We must fight for a more transparent democracy where every voter’s voice is heard.

The resignations of dedicated career prosecutors from the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office are a serious loss. The DOJ’s politicization of the investigation into Renee Good’s killing is doing lasting damage to our justice system.

Our local law enforcement, mayors, and community leaders all agree: The best way to restore order and safety in Minnesota is for ICE to leave our streets. This Administration is escalating rather than de-escalating and it needs to stop.

The resignations of Joe Thompson and 5 other seasoned prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in MN mark a significant setback for our state and public safety. They took on fraud, shooting investigations & so much more. Justice must remain free from political interference.

The administration is sending 1,000 more ICE agents to Minnesota. That's over 3,000 federal agents flooding our streets, almost triple the combined police forces of Minneapolis and St. Paul. ICE is sowing chaos in our communities. They need to get off our streets immediately.

Millions of Americans saw premiums double & triple because Republicans for months blocked the extension of the health care credits. We offered negotiations—they said no. 17 House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a 3-year extension. The Senate needs to pass this now.

Joe Thompson and the 5 other Minnesota prosecutors who resigned are incredible public servants who led major investigations into fraud, sex trafficking, and missing people. The DOJ’s politicization of our justice system has resulted in a real loss for Minnesota and for public safety.

These career public servants have served our state through multiple tragedies and critical investigations. We cannot allow prosecutions to be driven by politics. The family and loved ones of Renee Good deserve justice, not political attacks.

ICE agents have been flooding into Minnesota, outnumbering local police and creating chaos in neighborhoods. ICE needs to get off our streets.

A judge restored funding for the American Academy of Pediatrics that helps prevent unexpected infant death, increases pediatric care in rural areas, improves care for newborns, and more. Retaliating against Americans’ pediatricians is not how we protect our kids.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension worked closely and effectively with the FBI on the investigations into the tragic Hortman and Annunciation Church shootings — yet now the BCA is being excluded entirely. That undermines public trust precisely when we need maximum transparency.

The administration’s continued attacks on the Federal Reserve threaten its independence and will further destabilize the economy. These political attacks undermine the rule of law and will only increase costs for all Americans.

Only in Minnesota — people sliding down an icy hill on their way to join thousands of others to stand up for Renee Good’s family and against ICE actions on our streets and in our schools.

Schools should be safe places for students. ICE officers are detaining educators at Minnesota high schools—causing chaos and tension in our communities. ICE needs to get off our streets and stay away from our schools.

The law is clear: Members of Congress are allowed in ICE detention centers to conduct oversight without prior notice. A court ruling affirmed that 3 weeks ago.

Visiting the memorial for Renee Nicole Good this morning and seeing the outpouring of love and support was a powerful reminder of the kindness and compassion she brought to the world. Our state is hurting, but we are standing together.

Leaving the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's tragic death is wrong. They worked seamlessly with the FBI on Hortman & Annunciation cases—shutting them out now undermines trust and objectivity.

There are more ICE agents in Minnesota than Minneapolis and St. Paul police combined. They are here against the wishes of local law enforcement, including Police Chief Brian O'Hara. ICE is not making our communities more safe, and they need to get off our streets.

@atrupar.com Minnesota is once again the center of America’s heartbreak, but we are resilient — and we care for one another. Just as we have before, we must come together for the good of our state.

I met with Mayor Frey and Police Chief O'Hara today for a briefing on ongoing ICE actions in Minneapolis. We must support our city leaders and local law enforcement working to keep our communities safe.

I am joining Minnesotans across our state in a moment of silence at 10:00 AM today to honor the memory of Renee Nicole Good. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Thank you, Senator Lisa Murkowski, for speaking out with clarity and compassion. We need full transparency and accountability in this investigation, which the Minnesota BCA has to be part of.

Finally after we pushed this for a year! The House just passed a bipartisan bill to extend the health care tax credits. SEVENTEEN Republicans joined Democrats to pass this bill. The Senate must vote on it ASAP to lower costs for tens of millions of Americans.

The FBI must work with the professionals at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer yesterday. This has to be about justice, not politics.

I just voted for the bipartisan bill to prevent President Trump from continuing his war in Venezuela without authorization from Congress. In an unexpected move 5 Republicans joined us to move this forward. We need to lower costs in America, not try to “run” another country.

By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

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.

Now the White House is trying to rewrite history by releasing a webpage that describes the day as “Patriots March to the Capitol” and blames the Capitol Police. Democracy prevailed on January 6. We must protect it.

I spoke on the Senate floor about how five years ago at 3:30 in the morning after January 6, Senator Blunt, V.P. Pence and I made the walk with the pages and the electoral ballots to the House over broken glass and by pillars spray painted with racist vulgarities to the House.

After major disasters like flooding in recent years in Minnesota, Americans should not have to worry about their taxes increasing because they no longer qualify for some tax credits. My bipartisan bill ensures taxpayers don’t get penalized for income drops caused by disasters.

We will never forget what happened on January 6: Insurrectionists attacked our Capitol with the goal of overturning a free and fair election. Thanks to our heroic Capitol Police, democracy prevailed. We must keep fighting for our democracy — as we have for nearly 250 years.
