Recent actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement demand immediate congressional oversight. Multiple reports document extreme misconduct resulting in death and serious injury. In Minnesota, ICE agents fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. Reports indicate federal agents delayed medical attention and refused external assistance as she lay critically wounded. During the same operations, a 6‑month‑old infant was exposed to tear gas and flash bangs, requiring CPR from bystanders before emergency responders arrived. In Texas, at a facility in El Paso, a 55‑year-old ICE detainee, Geraldo Lunas Campos, died after guards reportedly applied neck and chest pressure during a confrontation. Witnesses say he repeatedly said “No puedo respirar” (“I can’t breathe”) before losing consciousness. Preliminary medical examiner findings indicate the death may be ruled a homicide due to asphyxia. These incidents raise urgent questions about ICE use of force, oversight, training, and the protection of those in custody or affected by enforcement actions. Internal reviews alone are insufficient; independent investigation is required to ensure transparency and justice. Congress must exercise its oversight powers to: - Subpoena ICE personnel and supervisors for testimony - Obtain federal use-of-force policies and training records - Assess whether ICE practices violate civil rights protections - Determine appropriate legislative or disciplinary responses No one should be above the law, and no federal agency should operate without accountability when lives are lost. Congress must act to prevent further misconduct and ensure justice for victims.
