Urgent: Demand for Investigation and Accountability in Minneapolis ICE Shooting
We are writing as deeply concerned citizens in response to the fatal shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026.
Publicly circulating video footage appears to show a man restrained on the ground, struck repeatedly, and then shot at close range. Regardless of politics, ideology, or immigration policy, this level of force against a restrained individual demands immediate, transparent, and independent investigation.
This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of human rights, constitutional protections, public trust, and the rule of law.
We respectfully call on you to publicly demand:
1. A full, independent investigation into the incident
2. Immediate release of all body camera footage, surveillance video, and operational details
3. Administrative leave for all agents involved pending investigation
4. Congressional oversight hearings into federal enforcement use-of-force policies
When government power is exercised without transparency and accountability, public trust erodes and democracy is weakened. No agency and no individual should be above the law.
We urge you to act swiftly and publicly to ensure justice, transparency, and meaningful reform.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens
