Our communities deserve to live with dignity, not fear. After Trump’s agents killed our neighbors & terrorized our communities, we’re pushing to allow the American public to sue ICE agents I’ll reintroduce the North STAR Act next session. Let’s win a DFL trifecta & get it done.

Text reading “CBS NEWS Minnesota state Sen. Fateh joins national lawmakers in push to let Americans sue ICE agents”, a picture of ICE agents, more text reading “By Stephen Swanson | July 29, 2026 Lawmakers from across the U.S., including Democratic Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh, gathered in Chicago Wednesday morning to push for the public's ability to sue federal immigration officers. The event centered on the unveiling of "a new, nationwide initiative to introduce or reintroduce legislation allowing Americans to sue ICE agents for constitutional violations," according to the State Innovation Exchange, which hosted the news conference. Fateh was joined by three other state senators: Colorado's Mike Weissman, Illinois' Graciela Guzman, and Utah's Luz Escamilla.”"The killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, Lorenzo Salgado Arauj in Texas, and Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Maine at the hands of ICE agents show the urgent need for accountability against an armed and well-funded force that has been terrorizing communities in total impunity," said a State Innovation Exchange spokesperson in a press release. "To date, no federal immigration agent has ever been convicted of criminal wrongdoing nor held personally liable while on duty." Fateh, who represents the south Minneapolis district where Good and Pretti were killed in January, co-authored a bill this past legislative session that sought to allow Minnesotans to sue for compensation for civil rights violations at the hands of federal agents. The bill failed. Legislatures in Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland and Vermont have successfully passed similar laws.Text reading “"On May 11th, that package passed the Senate, 34 to 33, meaning not one single Republican voted for it," Fateh said. "And in our tied House, the Republican leadership spent the session pretending the bill did not exist, that [Operation Metro Surge] had not happened, and saying that even if it did happen, Minnesotans had it coming." Fateh said in Wednesday's conference the bill would've also banned federal immigration officers from wearing masks, barred them from detaining people in places like courthouses, daycares, hospitals and schools. "Next year, when we come back into session with the new legislature, we will renew the fight to defend rights, restore local control and hold agents and their bosses accountable for what happened in the state of Minnesota, so that that can never be allowed to happen anywhere ever again," Fateh said.”The Hennepin County Attorney's Office has filed criminal complaints against federal immigration officers accused of committing crimes during the ICE surge earlier this year. In late May, the office charged ICE agent Christian Castro with multiple counts of second-degree assault and a count of falsely reporting a crime following the shooting of Venezuelan national Julio Sosa-Celis on Jan. 14 in north Minneapolis. In April, the office also charged ICE agent Gregory Morgan Jr. with assault in connection to an incident in early February where he allegedly pointed a gun at two people on a Twin Cities highway. No charges have been filed yet against ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Good's Jan. 7 shooting death, and against the still-unidentified Border Patrol agents who killed Pretti on Jan. 24. Earlier this month, federal investigators began sharing evidence in these cases with Hennepin County and state prosecutors after a months-long lack of cooperation.

Help Team Fateh unlock Minnesota Public Subsidy Funding! I believe campaigns should be funded by the people – not bought & paid for by corporate special interests, Super PACs or the ultra wealthy. In Minnesota, we’re fortunate to have partial public financing of our elections.

Today in Rochester, I was honored to speak at 2026 DFL State Convention, before 1,600+ Minnesotans. I spoke in support of my friend Adam Jennings, and his campaign for State Auditor. We need leaders like Adam who have the right values and the track record to fight for them.

Text reading “Fateh for Minnesota Senate”, a large picture of Omar Fateh standing on a podium with a sign that says Minnesota DFL, text reading “Adam JENNINGS for State Auditor LABOR ENDORSED”, and a smaller photo of people holding signs.Text reading “I'm proud to support my friend Adam Jennings, and his campaign for State Auditor. One of the things I love most about Minnesota is that we are building a strong, multiracial democracy-one where people from everyone, regardless of background or circumstance have a voice and a stake in our future. That work doesn't just happen by accident or overnight. It becomes reality because people come together, organize, and elect leaders who are committed to serving ALL of us. Adam has also been right from the beginning on supporting divestment. He knows how dangerous it is for us to invest our state workers money in a genocidal state. We need leaders like Adam who have the right values and the track record to fight for them. At the Capitol, we've fought hard for programs that help working families thrive: paid family and medical leave, tuition-free college for working-class families, and universal school meals so every child can learn and succeed. I've been proud to fight for those priorities, and Adam has been right there in that fight too-standing up for everyday Minnesotans and making sure government works for the people it serves. I also want to give a shoutout to the broad coalition that remains in this fight. I'm proud to have played a role in helping build it, and Adam has helped strengthen it every step of the way. From progressives and lefties like me to more moderate voices like my friend Senator John Hoffman, Adam knows how to bring people together. He listens, he builds relationships, and he understands that progress happens when we work across differences, with the understanding that this work is for and about THE PEOPLE. THAT's why organizations like Faith in Minnesota support him. They know, and I know, that Adam will fight for ALL of our neighbors. Adam is exactly the kind of leader we need as our next State Auditor. I'm proud to support him, and I hope you'll join me in supporting his campaign.” with a signature at the bottom of the text.
