ICE must be held to better standards.

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. McCaul, Sen. Cruz

From: A verified voter in Leander, TX

February 5

Let me make this simple. ICE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, like every other Federal law enforcement agency. Basics include: 1 Targeted enforcement 2 No masks 3 Require ID (officer identification must be easily possible, as FBI, BATF, and other LE agencies do. If they're not proud enough of the job they're doing to be identified doing it, it should not be done.) 4 Protect sensitive locations (Don't act like that journalist who showed up at the church and started recording video) 5 Stop racial profiling 6 Uphold use-of-force standards (Since these are so obviously poorly trained right now, they should be held to HIGHER standards than the FBI) 7 Ensure state and local coordination and oversight (Risk of blue-on-blue incidents is pretty high right now, especially with what appear to be masked vigilantes running wild arresting anyone who might be brown) 8 Build safeguards into the system 9 Body cameras for accountability, not tracking 10 No paramilitary police This is really basic for law enforcement in the USA, no more masked stormtroopers.
