Statement from Tahesha Way on the Minneapolis ICE Shooting
Tahesha Way released the following statement:.
"The killing that occurred during an ICE operation in Minnesota today is a shocking and atrocious consequence of the Trump administration’s dangerous approach to immigration enforcement. This did not happen in a vacuum—it is the result of an administration that prioritizes intimidation, and force over basic human dignity and accountability.
“Under the Trump administration, ICE has been pushed to use aggressive tactics with limited oversight and little accountability. When enforcement is driven by escalation instead of restraint, the risk of deadly outcomes increases—and that is exactly what we saw today in Minnesota.
“As a member of Congress, I will fight to rein in abuses of power caused by the Trump administration, and today I stand with the families and community grieving this senseless loss of life.”
