Sharing important words from NCJW Minnesota.

National Council of Jewish Women Minnesota (NCJW|MN) unequivocally condemn the reckless abuse of power by an ICE agent that led to the death of a Minnesotan, and U.S. Citizen. This tragic loss reflects profound disregard for human life and demands immediate accountability, transparency, and justice. This tragic loss of life has deeply shaken our community and stands in stark contrast to the values of dignity, safety, and justice we uphold for all people.

NCJW|MN stands with the family and loved ones affected by this loss, and with all Minnesotans who are grieved and alarmed by the escalation of force in our communities. We reaffirm our commitment to justice, accountability, and to building systems that protect, not harm, every member of our diverse state.
