Resolution in Solidarity with Minneapolis Unions Supporting the January 23 Action Against ICE Occupation

Whereas the Minnesota Labor Movement has united against the violent ICE occupation of their cities that has directly impacted Unionized Fellow Workers, their workplaces and families;

Whereas Union Members are being detained while commuting to and from work. Their families are being torn apart. Parents are forced to stay home and students held out of school fearing for their lives while the employer class remains silent;

Whereas the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO is the umbrella organization of Minneapolis-area local unions and includes over 175 affiliated unions representing over 80,000 working people across seven Minnesotan counties;

Whereas the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation, the West Area Labor Council/Red River Valley Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council, and the East Central Labor Council delegations, have joined in solidarity to endorse the powerful unified statewide action on January 23: ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA: DAY OF TRUTH & FREEDOM;

Whereas these Unions have endorsed the demands for the day that call for:

● ICE must leave Minnesota now.

● The agent who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable.

● No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE be investigated for human and constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.

● Minnesotan and national companies to become 4th Amendment Businesses — cease economic relations with ICE and refuse ICE entry or using their property for staging grounds.

Whereas an injury to one is an injury to all and violent ICE occupations have directly impacted Union members, workplaces, schools, and families throughout the country;

Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Troy Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO, supports these demands and further believes that ICE should cease its disruptive activities throughout the United States.
