Summary
The speaker said ICE is "occupying" Minneapolis, accused federal agents of "terrorizing" residents, demanded ICE leave Minnesota and Maine and called for new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and reforms to immigration enforcement.
An Unidentified Speaker accused federal immigration enforcement of overreach and called for immediate changes in leadership and policy.
The speaker said that, "as we speak, at this moment, [ICE] is occupying a military occupation of ... Minneapolis, and is terrorizing the occupants in that city," and demanded that "ICE must get out of Minnesota now" and "ICE must get out of Maine now." The speaker framed the operations as inconsistent with constitutional protections and said no more funding should be provided to ICE or Customs and Border Patrol "unless there are fundamental reforms" and new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security.
The speech also named two public figures, saying, "Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must go." The remarks linked immigration-enforcement operations to a broader critique of what the speaker called an authoritarian turn in governance.
These comments were delivered as a floor statement; no formal committee action or motion was recorded in the transcript.
