“A lot of what ICE is doing, if a deputy did it they’d be fired or arrested,” says Mark Bickel, who is challenging Frederick County's longtime sheriff this fall. “The use of force, the utilization of chemical agents, things like that. It’s just not right."

Frederick County’s sheriff turned his office into a force multiplier for ICE before such collaboration became commonplace. As he again faces voters this year, the harm to immigrant communities is impossible to ignore.

During the #ICE surge, Lisa #Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and praising Kristi #Noem for her "steady leadership." #Minneapolis, #Minnesota. #BePretti #BeGood #AbolishICE RT with Alttext ✍️📷

there are steps we can take at the state level to support your mission, improve coordination, or push back against political interference, please consider our caucus an ally in that work. Law enforcement should never find themselves at the center of a political tug of war. The people of Minnesota are looking to State and Federal leaders who prioritize the safety of our communities over tiresome political grandstanding.

Thank you, Secretary Noem, for your steady leadership and for standing behind the men and women who protect our nation. Please extend our gratitude to the ICE agents serving in Minnesota and across the country. We stand with them.
