Reckless disregard for human life is rampant in the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and their neighbors and supporters.
From Chicago to California, immigrants have been killed during ICE raids and traffic stops. And there have been at least eleven non-fatal shootings by ICE and Border Patrol agents in places around the country, including another two victims in Portland, Oregon.
The killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis are not an isolated tragedies, but part of a disturbing pattern of callous and inhumane disregard of life and law. These deaths, and the shockingly high number of deaths and harm inflicted in ICE detention and raids, require Congress to stop negotiations on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill until careful investigations lead to Congress’ reining in of the reckless tactics of Secretary Noem, ICE Acting Director Lyons, and their underlings.
Last year was the deadliest year in ICE detention facilities in over 20 years, with 32 deaths in 2025.
Right now, Congress is negotiating government the funding bill. We can stop this if we raise our voices together.
Click here to start writing to send a message to your senators and representative demanding Congress immediately stop funding DHS and ICE’s inhumane and lethal tactics amidst ongoing investigations.
