This morning, ICE murdered another member of our South Minneapolis community. ICE is inflicting mass trauma and violence on Minneapolis residents who are protesting peacefully and caring for each other.
There are vigils for Alex this evening. Learn more: content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd...
Contact Governor Walz and tell him to pass a statewide eviction moratorium immediately. No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE agents. Evict ICE, Not Us!
