Defund ICE. The agency has killed at least eight people in 2026 alone, and the most recent victims — Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero — were pursued in cases of mistaken identity. This is not aggressive enforcement. This is racism. People are being hunted down and killed because of how they look, not because of anything they did.
The pattern goes back further. Keith Porter Jr., a 43-year-old Black father of two, was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent outside his Los Angeles apartment on December 31, 2025. Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, both 37-year-old Minneapolis residents, were killed by federal agents and sparked nationwide protests. Thirty-two people died in ICE custody in 2025 — the highest number since 2004. These are not isolated incidents. This is a system operating exactly as it was built to.
Strip ICE of its funding. An agency that kills the wrong people and faces zero accountability has no business holding the power it does. Every day this continues is a choice — and right now, that choice is yours to change.
