(North Dakota Monitor) – Democratic lawmakers from 13 states visited Minnesota to show solidarity for the Midwestern state that has seen 3,000 federal agents flood its city streets and the deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of immigration officials.

The lawmakers warned that the federal incursion in Minnesota could come to their own states, even if they are Republican-led.

“What’s happening in Minnesota is a test case for federal overreach that threatens every single state in this country, and Montanans would never take lightly to uninvited federal government agents in masks coming onto our land. And if you know Montanans, you know that,” said Montana Sen. Cora Neumann at a press conference in the Minnesota Capitol.

About 50 lawmakers — from states including Utah, Georgia, Oregon and North Carolina — stood beside about a dozen Minnesota lawmakers in St. Paul.
