Donât look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. Theyâre not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldnât either.

(279 posts)But I suppose with two possible Senate vacancies in Minnesota, do you think he may consider running for the Senate again?
I don't reside in Minnesota--just curious.
Seems like by his absence from the Senate, he has paid the price for whatever sins he committed that caused him to resign his seat. Others who did far worse (look no further than the Felon) are still in office.

Of course I wish he'd never left, but he'd have to set himself up differently to return. He said at an event some years ago that his family is against it.
