NO qualified immunity for ICE. Vote for Swalwell & Goldman ICE OUT bill

To: Rep. Golden, Sen. King, Sen. Collins

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

February 21

I write with outrage about the ongoing reports of ICE brutality, cruelty, lying and law-breaking. Please sign onto and vote for: the ICE OUT bill that Eric Swalwell (CA-14) and Dan Goldman (NY-10) introduced . The bill's full name is: Oversight of Unchecked Tactics Act; this legislation would strip qualified immunity from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents who use excessive force and ensure that victims of excessive force can seek justice. I ask you also to hold fast to all the Democratic conditions for DHS funding. Let me remind you that the brutality of ICE has attracted international condemnation; that DHS is employing persons pardoned for January 6th crimes, and that we have no public stats on ICE agents with rap sheets for DV and firearms violations. ICE are killing with impunity and endangering lives by reckless actions. Consider: JD Vance says there are 30M undocumented folks in the U.S., In 2025 they were responsible for 29 murders, meaning 1 in a million is a murderer. On the other hand 22,000 ICE agents killed 34 people in 2025. That means 1 in 674 ICE agents is a murderer. Congress has blood on its hands if fails to rein in ICE and permits extrajudicial killings and violations of habeas corpus, outrageous detention conditions. I hope you are outraged by those abuses. NO MORE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FOR ICE. Vote for the Goldman Swalwell ICE OUT bill and all other measures to rein in ICE.
