Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the shooting a “murder” ... Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a Silicon Valley representative, called for the officer to be arrested. ... Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who represents Minneapolis, condemned ICE’s actions as “unconscionable and reprehensible,” and called for “legal action.” Cool, I guess? But, critically, we're not hearing anything from the Minneapolis DA's office or the Minnesota AG. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago <we’re not hearing anything from the Minneapolis DA’s office or the Minnesota AG.> They're still hungover from the BIG party last night.
