John, these are
accounts from Minnesota in the days since the murder of Renee Good. Please
read on.

ICE agents at a Target in Richfield, Minnesota grabbed a teenage employee
who was heckling them — as is your legal right — and threw him to the
ground. They shoved him in a van and drove away.

The boy was an American citizen who was yelling that he had his passport
in his pocket. They didn’t listen until he was detained. Since they had no
authority to arrest him, agents dumped him in a Walmart parking lot down
the road with no way to get home. He was found injured, bleeding, and
crying for help. A child.

Christian Molina, a Latino man and US citizen, was driving to work in
South Minneapolis when ICE agents crashed into his car to force him to
stop. Why? Because he looked “illegal.” Christian refused to cooperate
with the illegal stop. When neighbors came to the scene to observe and
support, ICE tear gassed the crowd and left.

At a gas station in St. Paul, a man was practicing his legal right to film
and observe ICE activities when an ICE agent randomly grabbed him. More
agents came over and violently threw him to the ground, arrested him, and
dragged him away to an unmarked van. Arrested for exercising his First
Amendment rights.

At an electric car charging station in Minneapolis, ICE agents went car to
car looking for people of color, asking each to prove they were citizens
or risk being dragged away.

At a protest in Minneapolis, multiple masked ICE agents detained a
protester and US citizen by grabbing her by the throat and choking her.
She was thrown into an unmarked van and disappeared.

In Richfield, ICE swarmed the car of a US citizen with guns drawn, forced
him out, and made him get on his knees, an unlawful detention under the
Fourth Amendment. After he confirmed his citizenship, they had no choice
but to let him go.

In Minneapolis, ICE approached a U.S. citizen and community volunteer,
shattered his car window, dragged him out, and threw him to the ground. As
they arrested him, they put a knee on his neck: an illegal maneuver that
caused the death of George Floyd in 2020.

If you can believe it, I could keep going. There are hundreds if not
thousands of incidents like these in just the last two weeks. Folks
outside of Minnesota may not understand the scale and severity of the
chaos that ICE has unleashed.

Every day, ICE is harassing, beating, arresting, and violating the civil
rights of US citizens and immigrants alike.

If Trump can sic this fascist violence on Minnesota, he can do it
anywhere, on any of his political opponents and those who choose to stand
up for their communities.

We’ve talked about Trump’s many violations of the Constitution, but what
is happening in Minnesota right now is a dire Constitutional crisis: an
all-out assault on the rule of law and civil rights by out-of-control
government thugs that face zero accountability. We’ve seen this story play
out before in Germany, Italy, and fascist states throughout history. It
can’t happen again.

I’m calling on progressives across the country to stand with Minnesota and
help us fight back against ICE’s crackdowns. We cannot let them get away
with terrorizing our neighbors and beating people in the streets.

Justice Democrats to support our movement today. Donating may seem like a
small act and simple, but it makes a world of difference as we build the
resources we need to defeat MAGA and the far-right extremists in the White
House.

It’s important for me to share these stories with you, so that Americans
understand the violence and chaos being unleashed by their own president.

It’s unacceptable, and we must fight back for the sake of our democracy.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
