"This harm does not discriminate. It is coming for everyone. And that is exactly why ICE must be stopped, because they're not operating with any Constitutional due diligence. They are lawless, they are masked thugs. All of our communities are vulnerable to this rogue agency, and Congress must rein them in, Pressley said. And we have the power of the purse and appropriation to do just that."
"Pressley maintained that ICE cannot be reformed. This has nothing to do with a training or new protocols. This is about cultural practices that have been underway for many years, she said. I believe in doing that radical work and getting to the root cause of things. Again, Congress has the power of the purse and appropriations. We need to use it in this moment because this harm is is coming for everyone."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement operates in ways described as unconstitutional, unlawful, cruel, rogue, and racist that terrorize communities and threaten public safety. An ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis resulted in the death of Renee Good as she appeared to try to flee from an officer who demanded she leave her car. The harm from ICE actions affects broad populations and is described as coming for everyone. The problem is framed as rooted in long-standing cultural practices rather than fixable training or new protocols. Congress retains the power of the purse and appropriations to rein in or abolish ICE. The current administration's public-safety rhetoric is linked to increased fear of state-sanctioned violence.
