→ Michigan Attorney General Candidate Karen McDonald On Minneapolis:
“The killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis is a tragic and alarming escalation of federal violence. His death does not make our country safer – it makes our communities more fearful and less free.
Today it’s Minneapolis. Tomorrow it could be Detroit, or any of our cities. The violence has to stop.
Michigan stands with Minnesota, and with everyone exercising their First Amendment rights to demand accountability, transparency, and restraint. Public safety requires trust – not unchecked force.”
→ Nessel on Minneapolis:
“Under this President’s direction, ICE and CBP are not making our communities safer. These federal agencies’ activities are causing communities to panic. The way in which these federal agencies are performing their duties is not reflective of the high standards residents should expect of law enforcement officials. This failure, in turn, compromises the ability of local and state law enforcement to do their jobs and jeopardizing the safety of police and civilians alike.
Minnesota residents are standing up against this hostile takeover of their communities and showing the world what it looks like to stand up in the face of power. I encourage everyone protesting in solidarity with them to continue to do so peacefully and lawfully.
What we are seeing and experiencing is abnormal, dangerous, and un-American. President Donald Trump and his administration are solely responsible for the violence being perpetrated against our residents by federal agents, and it is their responsibility, and theirs alone, to end it now.”
→ Whitmer on Minneapolis:
We are witnessing unacceptable violations of Americans’ safety, rights, and freedoms. No one should accept this.
The violence must stop.
Michiganders stand with Minnesotans as they exercise their First Amendment right to protest and make their voices heard peacefully.
