Constituent Demand: End ICE Abuses and Investigate the Killing of Renee Good
To: Rep. Nunn, Sen. Grassley, Sen. Ernst
From: A constituent in Des Moines, IA
January 9
I’m concerned about aggressive ICE raids, abuses in detention, and the recent killing of U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed during a federal immigration enforcement operation, and conflicting narratives about the incident have intensified calls for accountability. Local officials have publicly questioned the federal account and protests have erupted in response.
These raids and enforcement tactics terrorize communities, risk innocent lives, and stretch due process protections. ICE operations have targeted essential workers, caused racial profiling, and detained people without proper cause or transparency.
I urge you to oppose unchecked ICE raids and abusive detention practices and to support immediate oversight and accountability, including:
• Public hearings into ICE conduct and the killing of Renee Good
• Transparency and release of use-of-force policies and all relevant evidence
• Protections against racial profiling and detention without cause
• Improved standards for accountability and oversight of federal immigration enforcement
Thank you for your time.
