Twin Cities residents to receive Profile in Courage Award

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced Thursday that it’s awarding one of its 2026 Profile in Courage Awards to the “people of the Twin Cities of Minnesota” for their actions during the federal immigration enforcement surge.

The foundation said it chose to honor Twin Cities residents “for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members from an unprecedented federal law enforcement operation, peacefully defending the human rights and values that serve as the foundation of our Constitutional democracy.”

I'll simply thank those citizens who stood for what's right and honorable. You are far better than the vermin who fought against you.

The award to the Twin Cities is well deserved and earned. Minnesota and the citizens of Minneapolis made me feel proud to be an American, something that's been in short order since the Trump regime took over.

Well done, fellow Americans. Well done!
