The federal government’s attempt to vilify our Somali neighbors is a dangerous attempt to sew division amongst our community. We will not let that happen. Minnesotans stand together. We will not bend to those who want us to fear and hate our neighbors. Not now. Not ever.

It’s clear from the last few weeks that the federal government’s focus is on targeting vulnerable communities. Our office remains committed to upholding the rights of every resident, ensuring equal protection under the law, and addressing threats to our shared sense of security.

I expect the federal government to provide the requested information, documents and physical items to our office. They have been clear that they are not conducting an investigation into Renee Good's death. We are.

Tomorrow, we will go to federal court to continue to fight for all evidence to be preserved for a full and transparent state investigation. I am not asking for patience. My office is working around the clock on multiple incidents regarding federal agents' use-of-force.

Our office was made aware of an incident involving two bounty hunters pointing weapons at civilians who were chanting at them from alongside and in front of the bounty hunters’ van. Both have been charged with felony threats of violence and displaying a replica of a firearm.

Our local jails are pre-trial facilities. That means that the people being held there have not yet been convicted of a crime. When ICE takes people away before they have been convicted of a crime, they are preventing victims and witnesses from their opportunity to seek justice.

“Our goal should be to never have young people coming into the system” It shouldn’t come as a surprise that when we work alongside families, listen and learn about the challenges they face, and provide tangible solutions, we can make real changes that have lasting impacts.

Crime statistics are not helpful to individual victims of crime, but they are indicators to let us know what's working. Our office has worked hard to shift the paradigm of public safety to be more fair, just, and restorative. These statistics let us know we're on the right path.
