Should We Abolish ICE?

July 20, 2018 by Editor in

In 2016, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) arrested nearly 2,000 human traffickers, more than 4,800 gang members (including nearly 800 members of MS-13, one of the most vicious gangs operating today), and intercepted more than one ton of fentanyl that was headed for our communities.

To show their gratitude, last week Democrats introduced a bill to “Abolish ICE.”

Once again, Democrats are out of touch. The majority of Americans disagree with their effort to dismantle the agency, whose agents put their lives on the line every day to protect our borders and this nation. Their effort makes clear that Democrats believe the United States should not have borders.

I disagree: I fully support ICE, our nation’s borders, and a safe America.

MPPOA Endorses Tom Emmer for Congress

May 29, 2018 by Editor in /

Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA), the oldest and largest police organization in the state, has endorsed Tom Emmer for the U.S. House of Representatives as he seeks his third term to represent Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District.  The Association also endorsed Emmer for Congress in 2016.

“I am honored to have the backing of Minnesota’s rank and file police officers,” said Emmer. “I will continue working in Congress in support of legislation to enhance protections for our law enforcement community and make sure they have the tools and training they need to keep us safe.”

In addition to the MPPOA endorsement, Emmer has also been endorsed by the Sixth District Republican Party of Minnesota and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Congressman Emmer is currently serving his second term and is on the Financial Services Committee. Emmer is also a Member of the Republican Deputy Whip Team and the House Republican Steering Committee.  In January 2017, he was appointed a Deputy Chair for the NRCC.  Learn more at EmmerforCongress.com.

National Police Week

May 17, 2017 by Editor in

This week is a special time to salute the brave individuals who choose public safety as a career, spending their days and nights patrolling communities across the country, keeping a watchful eye over you and your loved ones, and at times putting themselves in harm’s way. We especially want to highlight and honor the incredible dedication of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives to protect and serve.

Unfortunately, Minnesota is no stranger to losing officers in the line of duty. In fact, the list of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in our state is far too long. These are mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, friends and members of our community who put their life on the line so that your life, and mine, is protected.
