Read MoreDaunte Wright was 20 years old. He was a father. He was with his girlfriend when he was pulled over for a traffic stop. He called his mother during that traffic stop. He had a life in front of him. And that was taken away needlessly when he was shot and killed by former police officer Kim Potter, long-time veteran officer, and former union president. Daunte should be alive today.

For you, perhaps it was when you checked in for a medical appointment, entered your child’s school or ordered a drink in a restaurant.
Approximately 82,000 residents of Minnesota are eligible for a driver’s license or state ID, but cannot get one because they are undocumented immigrants. Many have been living here for decades and were able to obtain a driver’s license until Governor Pawlenty changed the law in 2003.
