ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe. I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency. It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

ICE is out of control. Killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 24(source)

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 24(source)

I certainly won't be.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 24(source)

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govJan 24(source)

Minnesota’s Congressional Democrats are united. We’re speaking with one voice to condemn the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and to demand that ICE, DHS, and CBP agents leave our state immediately.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 24(source)

Another catastrophic shooting in Minneapolis by federal agents. We are gathering more information, but ICE must leave now so MPD can secure the scene and do their jobs.

Journalists and bystanders are capturing what JD Vance really doesn’t want us to see. Is this the country we want to live in?

What made the child a threat JD? Was it the floppy ears or the Spider Man backpack?

Q: A school district alleges ICE agents detained a 5 year old after preschool. Are you proud of how you're conducting this immigration crackdown? JD VANCE: The 5 year old was not arrested. His dad was an illegal alien. So the story is that ICE detained a 5 year old -- what are they supposed to do?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 22(source)

My power is my vote as a Senator, and I’m not voting to send an extra dollar in funding to ICE/DHS while they trample on Minnesotans like this.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 22(source)

Where is our humanity? Where have our shared values of gone? How can we justify using a little boy in a bunny hat and Spider Man backpack as bait? You may have voted for the President under the guise that he was only going after thugs and criminals. He lied to you.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 22(source)

This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here. Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

American citizens do not need to “prove” their identity to ICE agents to avoid arrest and detention. Unconstitutional.

Reposted byTina Smith

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold. A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool. This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 22(source)

ICE is detaining preschoolers. They’re breaking windows, stealing people out of their homes, forcing a U.S. citizen to walk in his underwear in freezing temperatures to a detention facility. This isn’t the way it has to be if Congress actually exerts its muscle and says no to more ICE funding.
