Statement from Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her on Meeting with White House Border Czar Tom Homan

“Today I met with Tom Homan and his team to discuss the ongoing ICE surge in Minnesota. I appreciated the opportunity to share with them the harm this surge is having in our city. I reinforced the importance of immigrants and refugees to the fabric of our community. Changing leadership and opening lines of communication with leaders in Minnesota are promising steps toward building trust, ensuring accountability to federal actions, and finding a meaningful resolution to end this surge. 

 

We look forward to seeing concrete next steps as Mr. Homan meets with local officials to de-escalate the situation in Saint Paul.”
