“This Is What Fascism Looks Like”

The following statement was released earlier today by the Green Party of Minnesota.

An ICE agent has just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis. Our hearts go out to her family and the community she was protecting.

ICE has only brought chaos, fear, and now death to Minnesota, and they must leave immediately.

This is what fascism looks like, killing innocent people as they defend their neighbors’ rights.

We stand in solidarity with South Minneapolis and our immigrant and refugee communities. Trump’s attacks are cruel and unjust, and we must do what we can to resist them.

Thank you to all of the community members who have gone out to protest ICE’s presence in Minnesota. We will share opportunities to help push ICE out of the state as we see them.

In peace and solidarity,

– The Green Party of Minnesota
