Sadly, every day now, keep your eyes, cameras, and smartphones out for ICE. Remember, they are not police, the Minnesota National Guard, Hennepin County Sheriffs, or State Troopers. You can and should call 911 if you see them and report them as fake police disguising themselves and looking to damage or loot properties, or worse. Our DFL Hennepin Attorney Mary Moriarty also welcomes and responds to reports.

Your Neighbors. Your DFL.

Welcome to the most grass-roots, local level of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota. Including significant portions of Richfield and Bloomington, the members of Senate District 51 (SD51) bring progressive change to the local, state, and national levels.
