Demand Accountability for ICE Shooting in Marble Hill

To: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Casar, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Manor, TX

October 9

Demand a full public investigation into the October 8 ICE shooting in Marble Hill, release all body camera footage immediately, and defund ICE. What happened on that street was not a law enforcement operation gone wrong — it was a preview of what unchecked paramilitary power looks like in a residential neighborhood at school dismissal time. An ICE agent fired seven rounds into a crowded street at 4 p.m., with a 5-year-old child in the back seat of the car. DHS Secretary Mullin still won't commit to releasing the body camera footage. Mayor Mamdani spent two hours on the phone with Trump and Mullin trying to get answers and was stonewalled. Governor Hochul called it an outrage. This is not isolated — it is a pattern of ICE operating with zero accountability, zero transparency, and zero regard for the communities they tear through. People are being held in detention without due process. Shootings like this one go uninvestigated. The answer is not more oversight of ICE — it is defunding the agency entirely and releasing people from detention. Do your job: demand the footage, hold DHS accountable, and use every tool available to end this.
