ICE is out of control. This week, a five year-old child watched ICE shoot his father. Trump's rogue agency has shot more than 43 people in two years, murdering eight. There is no reforming this abhorrent agency. Abolish ICE.

9 months ago, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renée Good in broad daylight and called her a "fucking bitch" as he walked away. Renée's family and our community have yet to see justice for this senseless murder. It's unacceptable. We must prosecute and abolish ICE.

Flock cameras track your every move. It’s creepy, dangerous, and raises serious civil rights concerns. Big Tech is pushing us toward an AI surveillance state. Americans deserve privacy, not unchecked surveillance. Ban Flock NOW.

Renee Good's family deserves accountability and justice. The officer responsible for her death must be prosecuted and ICE must be abolished. This is the bare minimum. No family should have to suffer this kind of loss and trauma ever again.

And Minnesotans are left to pay the price—all to help fund tax cuts for Trump’s billionaire allies.

$4.9 million more every year in costs for Minnesota taxpayers just to enforce these draconian requirements.

15,000+ Minnesotans in the Fifth District could lose access to healthcare.

$13.6 million less every year for emergency Medicaid services.

Today, the GOP’s “Big, Ugly Bill” Medicaid eligibility requirements take effect. Here’s what that means for Minnesotans: 🧵

It was incredible to tour the Indian Health Board’s new clinic, Menaandawiwe Wellness Campus, in Minneapolis. This new facility will allow the Indian Health Board to serve up to 1,700 more community members each year, expanding our neighbors' access to quality care.

9 Americans have been killed by Israeli forces in the last 4 years. We need answers. Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to get accountability for their families and the thousands of Palestinians facing genocide. Unconscionable.

We lost two beautiful children at Annunciation Catholic School. Since the horrific attack, parents from the Annunciation Light Alliance have been organizing to end gun violence. We sat down to discuss legislative solutions to prevent this kind of loss and trauma from happening again.

Any time an industry comes to you and says, “Help us regulate ourselves,” you have to be skeptical. AI needs strong guardrails to protect the public—not rules written to make tech CEOs and billionaires even richer.

Proud to have @repangiecraig.bsky.social, @chuygarcia.house.gov, @pingree.house.gov, @kamlager-dove.house.gov, @bynum.house.gov, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib's support on this bill.

@repilhan.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 5:12 PM

ICE has been tearing through our nation, devastating our neighborhoods, our cities, and our businesses. Our communities deserve accountability. My Make ICE Pay Act will redirect ICE's $140 billion budget to the communities they've hurt the most.

BIG WIN: The House just passed the Water Resources Development Act! The bill includes my provision to protect the stability of the historic Mississippi waterfront in Minneapolis and ensure this sacred site will be here for generations to come. Proud to get it done! 💪🏽

The Russia sanctions bill Republicans put on the floor today will do nothing to hold Russia accountable. Instead, it gives Trump broad authority to expand his reckless tariffs. Voted NO.
