I am writing to you today in a state of absolute fury and fear for the future of this country. The actions of the Trump administration — specifically the "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota and similar occupations of U.S. states — have transformed a federal agency into a paramilitary force used to terrorize and kill innocent people on American soil. The cold-blooded murder of U.S. citizens at the hands of ICE agents is the inevitable result of an administration that has "taken the shackles off" a rogue agency. This is no longer about immigration; this is about a government using state-sponsored violence to occupy our cities and silence its citizens. By allowing ICE to divert billions of dollars away from actual law enforcement—like child exploitation and human trafficking cases—to instead fund a "wartime recruitment" media blitz and a $170 billion deportation machine, Congress has abdicated its duty. You are currently funding an agency that operates with total impunity, unmasked and unrestrained, in our neighborhoods. I am insisting that Congress take the following immediate actions: 1. Defund and Disband ICE: The "Enforcement and Removal Operations" (ERO) has proven itself to be a threat to democracy and public safety. You must immediately strip all funding from this deportation force and move toward the total dissolution of the agency. 2. Impeach the Architecture of this Terror: Congress must immediately begin impeachment proceedings against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and any administration official who has authorized the use of federal agents to occupy U.S. states against the will of local governments. 3. End the Occupation: You must pass immediate legislation to prevent federal agents from being used as a domestic police force in residential areas, schools, and houses of worship. If you continue to provide the "purse strings" for this administration to carry out these illegal and murderous operations, you are an accomplice to any deaths and the destruction of our civil liberties. The time for "oversight" has passed; the time for total defunding and accountability is now.
