In light of another deadly shooting yesterday in Minneapolis, I ask that you do anything in your power to oppose continued lawlessness from ICE. Specifically, I ask that you:
- Join with other states in formally opposing the continued deployment of ICE and related federal enforcement operations that have resulted in civilian deaths.
- Adopt or support resolutions asserting state authority over cooperation with federal agents and rejecting operations that violate constitutional norms or public safety
- Protect the right of residents to record law enforcement activity in public spaces without fear of violence or retaliation.
- Work together with the governors and legislatures of other states targeted by ICE to demand withdrawal from states where its presence has led to bloodshed.
No American should be killed for filming law enforcement or helping another person off the ground. No state should be forced to tolerate federal agents who operate above the law. Unity among the states is not only justified—it is necessary.
