I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

City council member here, it’s the treatment we are used to at this point. It’s unfortunate but that’s culture at the City of Minneapolis. When we want to get a press conference that’s city of mpls supported we have to fight for it, and jump through hoops. Just to name one thing.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

ICE kidnapped a permanent resident in Minnesota today. They let the individual go after realizing they had authorization. Don’t be fooled, ICE is still discriminating against our neighbors based on the color of their skin. 1/

@governorwalz.mn.gov, I’m thrilled to read via fundraising text that you’ll never stop defending Minnesotans. I agree: your constituents are meeting this moment.
We need you to defend us. Come Feb 1st, you can keep vulnerable families in their homes by enacting a statewide eviction moratorium NOW.

This neighbor really needs our help. In the absence of @governorwalz.mn.gov enacting an eviction moratorium, our only tool for keeping families in their homes safe from abductions is crowdfunding.
Can you help us keep this Minneapolis neighbor and her family safe from ICE?
One of her daughters has been on the frontline while also working to bring back neighbors kidnapped by ICE back to Minneapolis. It’s time for us to also show up for them.

Even in our grief, our community continues to follow in the example of Alex Pretti: loving our neighbors and doing everything we can to support them. No matter what, ICE will not break our spirit.

It’s a privilege to represent an ~80% renter community. The most vulnerable of my constituents, along with vulnerable renters across the Southside and Minneapolis, are at risk of losing their homes come the 1st when rent is due. We need @governorwalz.mn.gov to enact an eviction moratorium NOW.

Around 9 a.m. this morning, federal agents executed one of our neighbors, Alex Pretti, at 26th and Nicollet in Whittier, in the community I represent. This is the second neighbor murdered in South Minneapolis by ICE in less than three weeks.

Kristi Noem has been spotted in Minnesota. Her presence is not welcomed by our neighbors. In Minnesota, we love our immigrant neighbors. And our community will continue to patrol our neighborhoods and defend the rights of our immigrant community. 1/

Ran into one of my neighbors who lives in the apartment building next door. We met last year when he was my Lyft driver! He talked to me then about how important our work to raise wages and working conditions for drivers was. Today, he told me how proud he was to vote for me 🥹♥️

Happy Election Day, Minneapolis! Grateful to continue the tradition of voting with my neighbors, this time with the littlest addition to our crew, Sabina.
If you’re voting in person today, reply with your precinct/polling place, the time you voted, and what voter number you were!

Hennepin Avenue is the first major policy issue I worked on as a new Council Member in 2022. As we re-open this street today, knowing how critical it is to revitalizing Uptown, I’m reflecting on the advocacy of the Ward 10 community in making this generational investment possible.

Workers are the backbone of Minneapolis. We all deserve a stable, living-wage job, free of intimidation and wage theft. Union members are supporting me because I’m their #1 champion at City Hall. I’m hitting the doors with them to talk to neighbors about our vision this week 🧵👇🏽

I know some people think it’s offensive for me to celebrate my birthday. Here’s the thing: as a domestic violence survivor, every day of this life is a gift I never imagined I’d have. Every birthday is a reminder of how lucky I am to be here. To another year of learning and growing, inshallah ✨

The last year brought a lot of change—across the US, here in Minneapolis, and in each of our lives, including mine. Through it all, serving Ward 10 is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and transformative experiences of my life.
I’m turning 28, and I want to share this milestone with y’all.

Let me just say. Minneapolis is the proud home of so many of our trans and gender nonconforming neighbors, and I hope we continue to grow the community we have here already. Fuck anybody scapegoating trans people in this moment.
