Wildlife for All’s mission is rooted in justice—for wildlife, for communities, and for the systems that govern both. When state violence and terror are directed at communities, especially communities already marginalized, it undermines the conditions necessary for any meaningful advocacy.
That’s why what’s happening in Minnesota right now demands our attention and action. Wildlife for All stands in solidarity with all those terrorized by ICE and invites you to take action to hold ICE accountable and support communities with us.
What’s Happening in Minnesota
As you may know, ICE has deployed thousands of federal immigration agents across the Twin Cities. On January 7, 2026, ICE agents murdered Renee Nicole Good. And she’s not the first person they have killed.
Since then, the Trump Administration has emboldened ICE officers, leading to horrifying accounts of racial profiling of immigrant neighbors and U.S. citizens alike (including children). Reports of people being stopped simply for observing ICE agents, aggressively interrogated, tear gassed, beaten, and in some cases violently detained without probable cause. One of the most discussed examples of this is Nasra Ahmed’s story.
The Trump Administration has said ICE agents have full immunity and is encouraging agents to break into homes without judicial warrants, with threats that other states may be next.
What’s Happening in Congress
In the ongoing DHS funding bill debate, Democrats in Congress have pushed amendments aimed at prohibiting ICE from detaining U.S. citizens and increasing transparency, but these measures were stripped and remain unlikely to pass without strong pressure.

Take Action
- Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives and urge them to filibuster (in the Senate) and oppose (everyone) the DHS funding bill unless it strips funding for ICE and includes strict civil rights protections. Visit Senate offices while Senators are on recess, until January 25th.
- Participate in a “Day of Truth & Freedom” TODAY, Friday, January 23 to demand ICE leave Minnesota and accountability for abuses. Visit https://seiu.co/ICEOut for details on times and locations.
- Donate to mutual aid and support organizations helping Minnesota residents.
If our communities aren’t safe, wildlife won’t be either. Advocacy without community safety is impossible. Our struggles are interconnected. And none of us are free until all of us are free.
We stand with immigrant communities in Minneapolis and everywhere. And we will keep fighting for justice for all life.
Thank you for standing with us and with Minnesota.
In solidarity,
The team at Wildlife for All
