ICE, Minnesota and Amy Klobuchar
Digest more
Sen. Amy Klobuchar called on ICE to leave Minnesota, after a federal immigration officer shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Saturday, drawing hundreds of protesters onto the frigid streets and ratcheting up tensions in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar has made the first steps in a Minnesota gubernatorial campaign, a source close to the senator tells WCCO.
Klobuchar, 65, is a proven vote-getter, having been reelected three times since first winning her seat in 2006.
The Minnesota senator, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, appears set to enter a race that has been transformed by President Trump’s immigration crackdown in the state and protests against it.
