"In Donald Trump's United States, where immigration agents have fatally shot two citizens in the past three weeks, calls are growing to shut down the agency tasked with carrying out the anti-immigrant crusade launched by the White House. The Abolish ICE movement is not new, but in recent weeks it has gained unprecedented momentum as citizens demand the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"The toll of ICE's crusade continues to rise: the latest victims are Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot dead in the streets of Minneapolis; Good by an ICE agent and Pretti by Border Patrol officers. But the crackdown also includes the detention of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and at least four other children from Minnesota; the more than 70,000 people held in detention centers, some caught in surprise immigration raids;"
Immigration agents fatally shot two citizens in recent weeks, prompting increased public demands to shut down the agency enforcing the White House's anti-immigrant agenda. The Abolish ICE movement has gained momentum as citizens call for abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Congressional debate is polarized and fractured over whether to defund, eliminate, or redirect ICE, with another federal shutdown at stake. Protesters in affected cities demand the agency's disbanding after recent deaths. Advocates call to replace ICE with systems that prioritize due process, community safety, and human rights while noting punitive tactics, surveillance, detention, and rising custody deaths.
