Speaker Hortman and House DFLers’ letter to President Trump and Congressional Delegation

Today, Speaker Melissa Hortman and Minnesota House DFLers have sent the letter accessible with the link below to both President Trump and our Minnesota Congressional Delegation asking for DED (Deferred Enforcement Departure) protections for Minnesota’s Liberian community be extended.  These are set to expire on March 31, forcing people who’ve lived here for decades, some all their lives, to leave Minnesota and the United States.

Minnesota has one of the largest Liberian communities in the United States.  These people came her seeking asylum from the genocide going on in their country.  The country of Liberia continues to experience unrest.
