I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

If enacted into law, PAWA would restore union protections for federal workers & require the Administration to honor collective bargaining agreements for the length of their stated terms. The bill passed the House on a bipartisan vote on December 11. We’re now urging the Senate to pass PAWA.
