Hi John,
Once again, we're here talking about immigration agents, who have executed yet another American citizen, this one a nurse who worked with veterans.
Regardless of your stance on immigration, it goes against our core values as a nation to have a masked police force in American cities, arresting people and even killing them with no due process, no justification, and no oversight.
When the administration minimizes these events and the Department of Justice refuses to conduct full, independent investigations or even to cooperate fully with state criminal investigations, immigration agents get the message that their actions are approved and should continue.
That's a recipe for escalating brutality.
It's time for Congress to step up and demand accountability for ICE.
Sign this petition now to demand that Congress:
- Directly investigate ICE's and CBP's use of force and the instructions coming from the top of DHS and the White House
- Push for independent, full criminal investigations of these cases
- Cut off ICE funding as long as the abuses continue
Recent reports say Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is leaving Minneapolis and may have lost his role as commander-at-large. But these killings are not just about a few “bad apples” that need to be moved around. We need real action to end the brutality and lawlessness we're seeing, and real consequences for top leadership.
Continuing to hold ICE accountable starts with us pushing our members of Congress to have courage and demand better.
