The generosity of our community never fails to surprise me! We are resilient and will continue to be until ICE leaves our City. The need is high and my office will raise funds until that need is met! Please donate, share, and inform your neighbors!
Thanks to this community, our office has raised over $40,000 for rental assistance. Read my most recent statement about this ongoing fundraiser and Minneapolis' response to ICE: https://t.co/T7ILgWJRd0

The City is aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th and Nicollet Ave
We are working to confirm additional details. Meantime, we ask that the public remain calm and avoid the immediate area.
I will send details as I receive them
There has only been one homicide this year in the City of Minneapolis... Which was perpetrated by the Federal Government. ICE is not here for the safety of our City - Fullstop.
Yesterday, federal ICE agents ended the life of one of our neighbors, in our City. The Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Frey are united in calling for ICE to leave our City immediately. Read the statement I released yesterday here: https://t.co/ML0DeV5cvf
