Public executions at the hands of the government should never happen in “the land of the free.” Not one more taxpayer dollar for Trump’s DHS, CBP or ICE.
- TS
He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.
- JH
ICE is out of control. Killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill.
- ES
As all 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. And they must be reined in before there is more killing.
- ES
This is part of a continued, coordinated assault on our Constitutional rights — with specific focus on individuals and groups who disagree with this President. I will be voting against the Dept. of Homeland Security funding bill this week.
- ES
This is what President Trump meant when he said he wanted to go after “the enemy within.” At every opportunity, he’s escalated violence against the people of Minnesota. Now, two American citizens have been killed by their own government as part of this operation. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

I certainly won't be.

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.
- TB
ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe. I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency. It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.
- LR
Minnesotans, and all Americans, have been made less safe by ICE's reckless and unlawful behavior. I refuse to support this current package of funding bills as federal agents shoot Americans in the street. My full statement:

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

State & local police & officials can be sued civilly, but not federal agents. Legal immunity encourages impunity. Our bill give victims a civil remedy—a needed day in court.
- RB
Now indisputably—after the latest ICE killing—the nation needs accountability through legal redress against federal agents who violate rights. I’ve joined with Sen. Padilla on a bill to provide a civil remedy to victims of lawbreaking by ICE & other federal officers.
- RB
Coverup in real time—if DHS investigates its own potential illegality. Congress must demand an independent investigation—immediately. A bipartisan call for justice—now.

President Trump has crossed the line. Americans will not stand for masked, armed troops roaming their neighborhoods. ICE is not trained in this capacity and should not be on streets. This incident should be investigated immediately and not politicized by the President.

Our government’s number 1 job is to keep people safe. I know that’s what the well-trained local law enforcement officers in NH & across the country work to do every day as they de-escalate situations & protect and serve our communities. The Trump Administration is failing to meet this basic standard
- MH
Instead, we’re seeing American citizens killed by masked federal agents, people denied basic due process, and enflamed tensions and division that are making our communities less safe.
- MH
We should be working together to reform our immigration system so that we have strong border security and are removing violent criminals. That’s not what is happening under this Administration.
- MH
What ICE is doing in Minnesota and on many streets across the country is unacceptable, unconscionable, and it has to stop.
- PW
Under Secretary Noem, ICE is no longer about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing communities. Noem must go. Congress must stop giving even more money to this agency on a rampage. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/njgfQY5siXI

My personal guiding principle has always been "agree where you can and fight where you must." And I believe this is a time when we must fight back.

DHS agents have summarily killed another person. This regime claims to be targeting ‘the worst of the worst,’ while they target people for exercising their constitutional right to free speech with lethal force. This lawlessness cannot be allowed to continue.

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House. The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm. Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.

ICE’s Minneapolis operations are not protecting the residents of the city, but are instead causing chaos and fear. Immediately, there needs to be a full and impartial investigation by local police into this incident, as well as the tragic death of Renee Good.
- GP
Another person has been shot and killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis. The Trump Administration must turn the temperature down and stop this horrific violence.
- RD
Another tragic, fatal shooting by a federal immigration officer in Minnesota. This is heartbreaking and infuriating. My office is gathering information as we speak. But what we do know: ICE’s egregious, reckless behavior in our communities must come to an end. Now.
- MH
Another American killed by Donald Trump’s invasion force in Minneapolis. Shot 5 times AFTER being restrained. This is not the America I know, but I do know THIS… This invasion of an American city is only possible because Republicans are complicit and refuse to rein in this madness.
- RB
It’s contemptible & unconscionable. 3/
- MW
Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end. I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.
- EM
I’ve been calling to stop DHS and ICE funding since Renee Good was murdered. Americans are watching in outrage while their neighbors are murdered on tv and cities get taken over. Senators have the power to do something about it. We need to stop funding DHS now.
- PW
Another shocking murder in Minnesota by ICE—an agency that has become a paramilitary force terrorizing American communities. This must stop, immediately. No more blank checks from Congress. Secretary Noem must resign.
- RB
The secret policy disclosed to me by whistleblowers—revealed to the public this week—shows an Administration contemptuous of the Constitution. Kicking down doors, trampling through homes, assaulting, detaining, even shooting innocent people, violating sacred American rights. 2/

Lethal vicious violence in Minnesota—heartbreaking & outrageous—directly reflects malign lawless leadership. Trump, Noem, all responsible for fostering a culture of illegal brutality, must be held accountable. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Another tragedy out of Minnesota. Another life lost. We must take action to get this rogue agency in check. And we need to do it now. Our rights as Americans are at stake.
- MB
I am horrified to hear ICE murdered another person in Minneapolis this morning. This violence is wreaking havoc on our communities and it must stop. The President needs to remove these federal agents from our cities now. Kristi Noem must resign and the dehumanizing policies must end immediately.

I won’t ever stop talking about the need to lower families’ electric bills.

ICE just violently swarmed, shot and killed another person in Minnesota. They shot him again and again, long after he stopped moving on the ground. ICE cannot be trusted. We need oversight. We need accountability. And. No. More. Funding.

It’s hard to see how deadly use of force was in any way justified. ICE is out of control, and they need to be reined in NOW. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to hold this Administration accountable and stop these blatant abuses of people’s fundamental rights.
- JR
7+ masked agents were restraining ONE person. This individual was already on the ground with several agents on top of him when they shot and killed him at close range.
- JR
As we await more information, this is what we know from this incredibly disturbing video: This is the second person ICE has killed in Minneapolis this month. 🧵
- PM
This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

This video shows Donald Trump’s lawless federal agents again out of control. The Senate cannot vote to keep funding this. Every single agent complicit in these horrors should be put on trial at the state level for real accountability.

Another totally unnecessary tragedy. These masked, armed, and untrained ICE agents are totally out of control and making Minneapolis less safe. This has all gone too far, and the President needs to put an end to this. Get ICE out of Minneapolis.

This has to stop. Another person shot and killed. Another senseless loss of life. We need ICE agents out of our cities. Right now. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

2/ And Republicans in congress: Stop your silence and stop being complicit.
- AK
1/ Donald Trump and all your lieutenants who ordered this ICE surge: watch the horrific video of the killing today. The world is watching. Thousands of citizens stopped and harassed. Local police no longer able to do their work. Kids hiding. Schools closed. Get ICE out of Minnesota NOW.
