"In a couple of days, I'm gonna be heading home and my heart is aching thinking about the people, the children, the families, all over America, who are being mercilessly targeted by ICE. I'm thinking about all of their pain and how their lives are being destroyed right in front of us. I'm also thinking about Minnesota and everyone back at home who is living in so much fear and searching for answers on what we all should do."
"Good people shouldn't have to fight so hard and risk their lives for well-being and respect and I hope, I hope our leaders are listening. I hope you're listening to us ask you to change your course of action swiftly and have mercy on everyone in our country. At a time where it doesn't feel like it's easy to have hope, it is my community and my friends, my family that hold me up."
