"Last week, two Democrats in the Senate hosted a " bicameral public forum to receive testimony on the violent tactics and disproportionate use of force by agents of the Department of Homeland Security." Here in Minnesota, we continue to deal with the thousands of immigration enforcement agents who have unleashed unspeakable violence on our state. Flights leave daily with men, women, and children, some of whom are citizens, green-card holders, or asylum-seekers with pending cases, to detention centers with a prevailing culture of abuse. Countless other legal observers and protesters, including myself, have been handcuffed and detained for hours without being charged with a crime, or intimidated with weapons and threats."

Two Democrats in the Senate hosted a bicameral public forum to receive testimony on violent tactics and disproportionate use of force by Department of Homeland Security agents. Minnesota faces thousands of immigration enforcement agents accused of unleashing widespread violence across the state. Daily flights transfer men, women, and children—some citizens, green-card holders, or asylum-seekers with pending cases—to detention centers described as having a prevailing culture of abuse. Legal observers and protesters have been handcuffed and detained for hours without charges and intimidated with weapons and threats. Video recordings, sworn affidavits, and media reports document agents' threats, racial taunts, and expressions of indifference.
