Report: Democrat Lawmakers Advised to Stay Out of Minnesota amid Security Concerns

House Democrat leadership staff recommended officials not to travel to Minnesota this week, citing security concerns amid a heightened threat environment and recent attacks on lawmakers, as well as to avoid burdening local resources during ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations.

According to an internal email obtained by Axios, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ staff privately advised Democrat members of Congress to avoid traveling to Minnesota. The message emphasized support for anti-ICE activism but urged lawmakers to show solidarity from their home districts rather than risk adding strain to law enforcement in Minneapolis. Axios confirmed the authenticity of the email with two congressional staffers.
