ICE Violated Federal Law—Investigate Now

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Carbajal

From: A verified voter in Lompoc, CA

May 9

ICE arrested Mayor Ras Baraka and Congressmembers Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez Jr., and LaMonica McIver at Delaney Hall in direct violation of Section 527 of the Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which explicitly forbids obstruction of oversight by elected officials. This is federal misconduct—clear and documented. You must immediately: 1. Investigate ICE’s actions. 2. Hold DHS officials accountable. 3. Enforce Section 527 protections. This demands emergency hearings, subpoenas, and legislative defense of our constitutional checks and balances. No delay. No excuses.
