Another U.S. citizen has been shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis, this time a 37-year-old ICU nurse, Alex Pretti. I’m calling for an immediate, impartial, and transparent investigation - with appropriate state and local involvement, congressional oversight, and full accountability. (1/2)

Today I announced that I will vote against DHS Appropriations Act. Mass deportation policies and violence concern Nevadans. This bill fails to establish guardrails or rebuild community trust. Accountability is not optional it is essential to public safety, the rule of law, and our democracy.

We must restore checks and balances to ensure ICE abides by the Constitution. Until then, I cannot support sending them billions in extra funding. (9/9)

This vote is about sending a clear message: in America, we have laws that apply to everyone – including law enforcement. Over the summer, Republicans in Congress forced through a $150 billion blank check for ICE, funding these unconstitutional operations without guardrails or oversight. (8/9)

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

I know something about all this because my father was ambassador to Laos at the time, after years of service in the Vietnam conflict. I lived in Laos for a year before college.

@susielee.house.gov where are you?
The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos.
You should know a bit about the background of those people.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

That church on Summit with the ICE pastor has a lot of ties to John Piper's Bethlehem seminary, and specifically with toxic figures that were kicked out of that (already quite conservative) church because they were abusive and palling around with fascist pastor Doug Wilson (Pete Hegseth's mentor)

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
