""I know that this is not new for large swathes of the American people but every day that we stay silent, it makes it easier for them to shoot us in the streets and round us up and genocide entire people. We must speak out and we have to take care of each other. I implore you, if you are an American citizen, call your senators every day next week and tell them 'no more money for ICE.' We will not stand for it.""
""The more we stay silent to try and shore up a failing illusion of normalcy, the more we trade pieces of our soul and the easier we make it for them to shoot us in the street," Lowenthal wrote on Instagram. "Call your reps every day this week. Tell them how furious you are, how scared you are, and that they must speak out against what's happening. The simple message they need to hear is 'no more money for ICE'.""
Federal officers wrestled a man to the ground and shot him roughly ten times on a busy Minneapolis street, killing 37-year-old Alex Pretti. The killing followed threats from President Trump toward the state and intensified criticism of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Actor Yuri Lowenthal urged Americans to call senators to oppose further ICE funding and to speak out against injustice. The incident prompted judicial scrutiny, with the acting head of ICE summoned to appear in court or risk contempt. Lawmakers face mounting pressure to block increases in ICE funding.
