HELENA — A group of Democratic state lawmakers from Montana are traveling to Minnesota this week, as part of a multi-state effort to push back on what they consider the Trump administration’s “overreach” in that state.
“It may not be happening here; that's exactly the point, right?” said Sen. Cora Neumann, D-Bozeman.
That's our duty.”Neumann is among the organizers of the effort, which is bringing state lawmakers from across the country to the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul Thursday for a “Day of Solidarity.” It comes days after a federal officer shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
More than 50 lawmakers, including seven from Montana, are expected to be at the Capitol, where they will hold a news conference after a Minnesota Senate hearing on the impacts of the federal government’s ramped-up immigration enforcement.
“What we don't support, like I said, is masked, unidentified federal agents killing civilians,” she said.
