---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Senator Tina Smith noreply@smith.senate.gov> Date: Fri, Jan 16, 2026 at 5:18 PM Subject: ICE in Minnesota To: mmuunnduruku@gmail.com> ICE in Minnesota Last week, Minneapolis was once again thrust into the national spotlight for a horrific tragedy in our community, this time at the hands of the Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. Like so many Minnesotans, I am heartbroken and angry. We all saw the video, and we know in our hearts how deeply wrong and unjust this is. Renee Nicole Good was a U.S. citizen, a mother, and a Twin Cities resident. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and loved ones. I can’t imagine the grief they are enduring. The Trump Administration is weaponizing fear and using intimidation in ways that are making our communities less safe, but Minnesotans are standing strong against this chaos. We will not cave in to their attempts to sow fear in our community. They have underestimated the resilience of Minnesota. A lot of people have been asking me what you can do to help our community right now. First, I’ll say this: We are not hopeless, nor are we helpless. I’m tremendously proud of how we are watching out for each other and helping our neighbors under incredibly difficult situations. I’m thinking of the students around the state who have staged peaceful walkouts because they are so worried about their teachers, classmates and friends. I’m thinking of the peaceful protestors who are handing out food and water and comfort in the cold January days. I’m thinking of the tens of thousands of people who gathered in solidarity at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis and all around the state last weekend to peacefully show our support for Renee and our community. So, what can you do? You're doing it. We need to keep showing that Minnesotans look out for each other and that we are strong and resilient. In our community, we stand up to bullies. Our strength is in our unity and in our peaceful demonstrations. Find solidarity with one another. Continue looking out for your friends and neighbors and be safe as we navigate whatever comes next. Last weekend I visited 34th and Portland, where Renee was shot and killed, just a few miles from where Archie and I live. I was so moved by all the Minnesotans showing up to pay their respects and lay flowers, even though most of us never knew Renee. This shows the strength of our community. As your Senator, I will continue speak out against the unlawful tactics of ICE. We are pro-public safety in Minnesota, and we can see that this ICE campaign is making us less safe. They should immediately stop this campaign which is ripping parents away from their children, detaining and arresting U.S. citizens – including children – with no cause, disrupting businesses and schools, and stomping on the civil rights of all of us. If a federal agent can drag a U.S. citizen out of their car and handcuff and arrest them with no cause, none of us are safe. I will continue to work in the Senate to hold federal law enforcement and ICE agents accountable for unlawful actions, and to push for a fair and unbiased investigation into what happened. And I will work with my colleagues to completely overhaul how ICE functions in our communities, so these abuses can’t happen in the future. I know people are scared right now. So please, be safe. Know your rights. Carry your identification documents. Seek out an immigration attorney if you have questions or concerns. Take care of yourselves and be kind to each other, Minnesota.
