ICE isn’t just targeting the Twin Cities. There’s horror stories in Mankato, Willmar and across Minnesota. Immigration attorneys are still getting hundreds of calls every day from every corner of the state. ICE out now.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and many local shops are facing real hardship right now. I'm glad to see the Minneapolis Foundation stepping up to help those hit hardest. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Dirtier air and smoggier communities. Sicker kids and shorter lives. That will be the legacy of this administration.

We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents. And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it. That cannot be how things work in this country.

Happy Birthday to my dear friend and colleague, Senator Shaheen. It's an honor to work alongside you in service to NH. And while your time in the Senate is drawing to a close, I know you will remain a powerful voice for freedom, common sense, & progress for years to come.

“Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, two days after the shooting, explained that none of his colleagues were talking about ‘the legal definition of domestic terrorism.’ (Compare with Noem at her news briefing: ‘That is the definition of domestic terrorism.’)”

We need to lower energy bills. Data centers are driving up costs but we must ensure American families aren’t footing the bill for big tech companies. @whitehouse.senate.gov & I teamed up w/ @welch.senate.gov & others to press ISO New England on its plan to keep costs down for consumers.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity. These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt. US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons. (1/2)

“Key figures in the administration are pointing fingers at one another. Trump is blaming Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. Bovino’s boss Kristi Noem is blaming Stephen Miller, per Axios. Miller is blaming Border Patrol. And Border Patrol is big mad at ICE, per POLITICO’s Myah Ward and colleagues.”

There are plenty of simple, commonsense things the administration could do if they wanted to de-escalate and show that they take seriously the profound and grave harm that their ICE and CBP agents have caused in Minnesota. To start, they need to get out of Minneapolis.

The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow. Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

Section 702 of FISA expires in less than three months. It grew out of a secret warrantless surveillance program under President Bush. We need reform before we reauthorize.

Extending disaster relief is a federal responsibility. Every American deserves equal protection in crisis.

President Trump's rapid approval of winter storm disaster aid proves what's possible with political will. While Colorado is still reeling from the Lee and Elk wildfires and historic Southwest flooding, Trump has yet to approve disaster aid for our communities.

Within the past week alone, two House members—Reps. Maxwell Frost and Ilhan Omar—were attacked in public. We can't become desensitized to political violence and the threat it poses to our democracy. We must condemn political violence in any and all forms.

Things Alex Pretti was: An ICU nurse for veterans. A loving son. A friend, colleague, and neighbor. Things Alex Pretti wasn’t: A domestic terrorist.

While the whole East Coast gets hit with brutal cold, energy costs are skyrocketing because Trump has launched an all-out assault on clean energy projects across the country.

If the Trump Administration had nothing to hide, they’d investigate Renee Good’s killing.

ICE is killing American citizens. We need to fight for the safety of our communities. We can’t let this continue. Read more about our fight in our newsletter: senatorhickenlooper.substack.com/p/i-refuse-t...

Both Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed while exercising their constitutional rights. This is CLEARLY a civil rights issue. But beyond that, allowing DHS to investigate itself is a clear conflict of interest. We need an independent investigation— justice must be served.

They didn't die in vain. Every astronaut who flew after, including my brother Scott and me, benefited from lessons learned. We explore more safely because of them, and we’ll never forget their sacrifice.

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

I support cleaning house at DHS. Greg Bovino should be fired. Kristi Noem should be fired. Stephen Miller should be fired. But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.
- PM
This President is a shameful disgrace. But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable. In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.

Once again, the Justice Department is bending to the will of Donald Trump and not to justice. They’re afraid of the facts—which is why they refuse to investigate. Open a civil rights investigation. Accountability now.

Companies linked to Trump, Jr. have been awarded multiple lucrative DOD contracts and loans. This raises serious concerns about conflicts of interests and keeping our communities safe. I'm working with @warren.senate.gov and @blumenthal.senate.gov to get the answers you deserve.

Trump is denying veterans the autonomy to make choices about their own health. Congress must immediately overturn this ban and restore full access to the reproductive care that every woman deserves. Veterans who sacrificed for our country shouldn’t be punished for their service.

President Trump's VA has imposed a near-total abortion ban – denying care to rape and incest survivors, even in states where abortion is legal.

I’m taking the Senate floor to share the story of what’s happening in Minnesota at the hands of ICE and CBP – but more importantly, I’ll be imploring my colleagues (regardless of party) to use our power to rein in ICE’s lawlessness. Tune in at 3:10pm CT/4:10pm ET

I’m deeply disturbed by the assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar last night as she met with constituents. I’m in awe of her determination in the face of adversity, and grateful the incident was not worse. There is no place for political violence or intimidation in America.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP. That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care. Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.
