Hi John, it’s Shannon.
These past few weeks have made it clearer than ever: ICE is acting as a lawless agency that is terrorizing our communities. We need a fundamental overhaul.
Allowing violent, masked, and untrained agents to act with impunity is dangerous and un-American. Reform must start immediately.
That’s why today, I’m releasing a plan to fix this broken system. Here’s what that looks like:
- Body Cameras and Transparency: All field agents must wear body cameras while on duty. The footage should be made readily available to the public to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Identifiable and Vetted Officers: Every ICE officer must pass a thorough background check. While on duty, they must wear clearly marked uniforms with visible badges — no face masks to hide their identity. All ICE vehicles must also be visibly marked.
- Protect Private Data and Safe Spaces: ICE must not arrest anyone without a warrant or access private data without consent. Certain places like schools, hospitals, places of worship, courthouses, and playgrounds should be designated off-limits for enforcement actions.
- Stronger Training and Limits on Force: Pass the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act, which would set clear use-of-force standards by limiting deadly force to situations where there is “no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative.”
- New Leadership and Accountability: Impeach and fire Kristi Noem. Fire Tom Homan. Put someone in charge with a police background, not a politician.
If you agree that we urgently need a fundamental overhaul of ICE, add your name in support of my plan to put a stop to the lawlessness and cruelty and fix this broken system.
