Restrain ICE's unconstitutional overreach and preserve civil liberties

The tactics employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conducting immigration raids raise serious constitutional concerns. The arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who was merely escorting a defendant out of immigration court, is a blatant violation of due process rights. Lander was unjustly detained for several hours on baseless accusations of assaulting law enforcement officers, which he vehemently denies. This incident underscores the urgent need for ICE to operate within the confines of the law and uphold constitutional principles. ICE's current practices undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in law enforcement agencies. Families are being separated without due process, immigrants are being denied their fundamental rights, and elected officials are being arbitrarily detained for exercising their civic duties. This crackdown on dissent and oversight is antithetical to our democratic values and sets a dangerous precedent. I urge you to take immediate action to rein in ICE's overreach and ensure that the agency's operations are conducted in full compliance with the Constitution. Concrete measures must be taken to protect the civil liberties of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, and to hold ICE accountable for any violations of constitutional rights. The rule of law must be upheld, and the integrity of our judicial system must be preserved.
