Dear Friend,

Congress must hold ICE accountable and keep our communities safe from the recent violence we’ve seen in Minnesota and around the country.

That’s why I voted against the Homeland Security funding bill in the House last week. Democrats in Congress are holding the line and demanding stronger legal guardrails, real oversight, and meaningful accountability. Because of our pressure, the White House is now at the negotiating table to address these concerns.

A key part of accountability is addressing Secretary Kristi Noem’s failed leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. She must be fired, and if that doesn’t happen immediately, I support impeaching and removing her from office.

This violence around the country is creating fear in our region. This week, I spoke with local leaders who shared how ICE’s actions are creating instability in our communities and undermining trust in law enforcement, ultimately making our communities less safe.
