Events on January 7 left my heart broken thinking of Renee Good who should be home with her family tonight. And, for our communities all over the state where ICE has been terrorizing our fellow Minnesotans.
One of our jobs as public servants is to keep Minnesotans safe from anyone that puts them at risk, and right now that seems to be ICE. My colleagues and I are moving forward, fighting for and demanding accountability and solutions to ensure this never happens again. Our Minnesota Executive branch has said that they are going to seek accountability and justice as well.
We encourage peace and our state officials are here to ensure people have the ability to express their constitutional rights. I also stand with my legislative colleagues from Minneapolis as they ask community members to stay safe, to not buy into propaganda from Homeland Security, and to look out for one another. In the words of Governor Walz, they want a show, let’s not give it to them.
Many of us have been working in our communities with our neighbors to make sure folks are safe as they go to school, work, or just go to the store. We will continue to do that. I have been heartened by watching so many people in Hopkins, Edina, and St. Louis Park stepped up to take care of each other. Minnesotans are strong and resilient and I am very proud of our communities!
