Friend — ICE is doing everything they can to escalate and make the situation in Minneapolis spiral further out of control.

Just hours after Renee Good was murdered by ICE, federal agents descended on a local high school, detaining a teacher and using violent crowd control tactics on the students. Attacking kids at a high school. Absolutely sickening.

Here’s one eyewitness account from NBC News on what happened at Roosevelt High School:

• “All these men, who were fully armed, suddenly jumped out of the SUVs and started running towards the school.”


• School was being dismissed at the time, and hundreds of students were walking out of the building, she said.


• “Some of the teachers and school workers were trying to keep the Border Patrol away from the students, telling them to stay off school property,” she said. “They just pushed [the teachers] away. I saw one teacher get tackled….The agents started scuffling with the people.”

Here’s an account from Fox 9:

Friend — I am not going to mince words. I’m angry as hell.

Angry that these thugs are terrorizing my community on behalf of the President’s personal political agenda.

Angry that innocent people have been beaten, harassed, arrested, and shot at by people who claim they are protecting them.

Angry that they would even THINK to target a school, or to put children in harm's way just hours after they shot a woman dead.

It’s sickening, depraved, and unAmerican. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis and face real investigations into their crimes. ICE must be abolished.

If you feel the same anger I do, if you feel the basic need on a human level to defend your neighbors, consider chipping in to my campaign today.

We are mobilizing to fight back against the far-right and build the movement to abolish ICE once and for all. I am doing all I can to lead in this important moment, from the halls of Congress to the streets of Minneapolis, but I can’t do anything without a huge grassroots team behind me.
