The Minnesota House of Representatives has passed a resolution condemning the executive orders issued by the current presidential administration that target immigrants. The resolution emphasizes Minnesota's long-standing tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees, highlighting that the state's population includes a significant number of foreign-born individuals who contribute to its cultural, economic, and academic life. It asserts that all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, deserve safety, dignity, and due process under the law. The resolution calls for the United States to remain a safe haven for those seeking a better life and urges the president to halt policies that create division and insecurity within communities.

Furthermore, the resolution encourages Minnesota's congressional delegation to actively oppose the president's immigration policies and advocates for comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. It also calls for the repeal of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 and affirms that all residents and visitors in Minnesota are entitled to due process. The resolution will be transmitted to key federal officials, including the president and members of Congress, to ensure that the message is communicated at the national level.
