This resolution condemns the violent and unlawful actions taken by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol during Operation Metro Surge, particularly highlighting the deaths of two Minnesotans, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, at the hands of federal immigration officers. It outlines a series of violations of constitutional rights, including the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments, as well as the detrimental impact of these actions on the Minnesota community, including fear among families, disruptions in education, public health crises, and economic instability. The resolution emphasizes that these actions have led to a chilling effect on migration and tourism, ultimately harming the state's economic health.

The Minnesota Legislature calls for a full and transparent investigation into these offenses and demands accountability for those responsible. It also expresses the importance of immigration to Minnesota's culture and economy, urging that no individual should face such violations in the United States. The resolution will be transmitted to key federal and state officials, including the President and the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, to ensure that these concerns are addressed at the highest levels of government.
