ICE beats and kills, and lies about it: No funds for DHS

To: Sen. Schumer, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A verified voter in Jackson Heights, NY

February 7

Have you seen the reporting about Mr. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón? In case you missed it, this is his story: https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospital-ice-beating-assault-4e77742e0629fc7f127c0aa38b3d2a70#. He was beaten brutally by ICE, who lied about the cause of his extensive head injuries, saying they were self-inflicted. Healthcare workers immediately recognized that Mr. Castañeda Mondragón’s injuries did not match ICE’s story that he ran into a wall. Mr. Castañeda Mondragón is only one example of the lawlessness spilling out of DHS. You must withhold funding to DHS until drastic reforms are passed into law, especially targeting ICE and CBP. Ultimately, DHS must be disbanded and replaced entirely.
