Demand ICE Accountability and Protection for American Citizens

To: Sen. Stanford, Pres. Trump, Sen. Cantwell, Gov. Ferguson, Sen. Murray, Rep. Duerr, Rep. DelBene, Rep. Kloba

January 16

I am writing to demand immediate accountability for Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations that are endangering American citizens and violating constitutional protections. On January 7th, an ICE agent murdered Renee Nicole Good in cold blood. This killing represents an unacceptable escalation of violence against the very people you were elected to protect. Cities like Minneapolis are now under siege. Daily reports describe cars being rammed, people being snatched without due process, and children being endangered by aggressive enforcement tactics. These operations are terrorizing American communities with taxpayer dollars, creating an atmosphere of fear that undermines the safety and stability of your constituents. I am deeply concerned about the lack of oversight and accountability for these federal agents operating in our communities. When law enforcement can murder citizens without immediate consequences, when they can endanger children and ram vehicles without restraint, we have abandoned the rule of law. These tactics violate constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure and deny citizens their right to due process. This is not about immigration policy. This is about protecting American citizens from unchecked federal power and ensuring that no agent of the government can operate above the law. Your constituents deserve to feel safe in their own neighborhoods, not threatened by the very agencies funded with their tax dollars. I urge you to take immediate action by demanding a full investigation into the murder of Renee Nicole Good, calling for congressional oversight hearings on ICE operations endangering citizens, and supporting legislation that establishes clear accountability measures and consequences for agents who violate constitutional rights. Your constituents are watching how you respond to this crisis. We need leaders who will stand up for our safety and our constitutional protections, not remain silent while federal agents terrorize American communities.
