I’m glad that Senate Democrats were able to forge a deal that separates out full-year funding for DHS so we can move forward on five critical bills that will bring much needed relief to Americans across the country. These appropriations bills include incredible victories.

I was moved by today’s interfaith vigil honoring the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We stood together in grief, prayer, and against the terror and lawlessness of ICE. This moment reflects a growing demand for justice and meaningful oversight of a cruel and inhumane DHS.
The Senate shouldn’t consider any Federal Reserve nominee while Trump and his DOJ carry on their politically motivated lawfare against multiple members of the Fed—certainly not one whose primary qualification is his willingness to do Trump’s bidding on interest rates.
When I was a county executive, I worked closely with law enforcement and understood what it means when we trust someone with a badge and a gun to protect our communities. What’s happening in Minneapolis is breaking that trust.
Americans: How am I ever going to afford a home? Washington needs to bring down the cost of housing.
Donald Trump:
Today I voted NO on the DHS appropriations bill. We need accountability, oversight, and meaningful reforms.
Ordinary Minnesotans aren’t allowing themselves and their neighbors to be denied their basic human and constitutional rights, and they’re beginning to get results. But talk is cheap – we must keep pushing until ICE is out of Minnesota.

My internship on Capitol Hill inspired me to pursue a career in public service. If you're interested in a similar path, join my team this summer! Applications are now open for my Washington, Wilmington, and Dover internships. Apply here: www.coons.senate.gov/services/res...
End the roving patrols. Enforce Accountability. Masks off, and body cameras on. These are the reforms Senate Democrats need to see to ICE and Border Patrol before the Homeland Security bill can move forward.
Two Democratic congressmembers have been physically attacked in the last week – and not only are Trump, Vance, and this administration not trying to lower the temperature, they’re fanning the flames. This administration needs to stop inciting violence against people who disagree with them.
A man attacked Minneapolis Rep. Ilhan Omar, spraying an unknown substance with a strong odor toward her, just seconds after the Democratic congresswoman called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign and urged the abolishment of ICE. https://cnn.it/49Z8Kzz
There are plenty of simple, commonsense things the administration could do if they wanted to de-escalate and show that they take seriously the profound and grave harm that their ICE and CBP agents have caused in Minnesota. To start, they need to get out of Minneapolis.

Sen. Chris Coons: "We've got our President saying things that essentially amount to 'Alex Pretti deserved it because he was carrying a gun'—a gun he had a permit to carry…A striking change from the strong defense of 2nd amendment rights we typically hear from Republicans."
DHS doesn’t exist to be Trump’s political shock troops, or on call to threaten states and cities into compliance with this administration’s unconstitutional demands.
ICE said it was in Minnesota to enforce immigration laws. Now, AG Bondi says they won’t leave unless Minnesota hands over its voter rolls and citizens’ personal information.
I’m voting no on DHS funding. The horrifying killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show that Department of Homeland Security is out of control, and Congress needs to put up more guardrails that restore transparency and oversight.
Good. If you build an AI that makes child pornography on demand for anyone in the world to use, you should be held accountable. I’m glad the EU is stepping up and investigating if the Trump administration won’t.

Alex Pretti was gunned down in cold blood, and it will take a lot to undo the harm and terror imposed on the people of Minneapolis and across the country.
On National Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember over 6 million Jews systematically killed by the Nazis. Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and toxic rhetoric are on the rise around the world and here in America. We must stand against hate and recommit to protecting human dignity.
The Fourth Amendment isn’t hard to understand. ICE’s claim that they can force themselves into homes without a judge’s warrant is a blatant violation and a clear abuse of power.
