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 . Their 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. In the senate, Wyden and Merkley have proposed a bill to protect civil liberties against ice surveillance, the ICE out of our faces act. I ask you to vote for that as well. 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 convicted of domestic violence and firearms violations. Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn't stopped. ICE is killing with impunity and endangering lives with reckless actions. Guardrails need to be imposed by Congress. Consider: JD Vance says there are 30M undocumented folks in the U.S., In 2025 they were responsible for 29 murders, meaning less than 1 in a million is a murderer. On the other hand, in 2025 there were 22,000 ICE agents and 34 deaths caused by them. That means 1 in 674 ICE agents is a murderer. Congress has blood on its hands if it fails to rein in ICE and permits extrajudicial killings and violations of habeas corpus and outrageous detention conditions including of children. A two month baby in Dilley detention center almost died without ever seeing a doctor. NO MORE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY FOR ICE. Vote for the Goldman Swalwell ICE OUT bill and all other measures to rein in ICE including Wyden and Merkley's Senate bill, ICE OUT OF OUR FACES. ICE cannot be allowed to go unchecked any longer.
