Tell Congress: Hold ICE Accountable

Since the start of Trump's second term in office, ICE agents have been involved in multiple deadly and violent incidents:

A man fatally shot in Biddlesford, Maine
A man fatally shot in Houston, Texas...whom ICE agents mistook for someone they were searching for
A U.S. citizen and mother shot and killed
An undocumented immigrant shot and killed in Illinois
An American citizen shot in Los Angeles
A 5-year-old detained while coming home from preschool
A 37-year-old American ICU nurse shot point-blank multiple times during a DHS operation captured on video

This is part of a dangerous and growing pattern of brutality and intimidation by immigration agents. Since President Trump launched his immigration crackdown, federal agents have opened fire at least 28 times and held bystanders or protesters at gunpoint in at least 46 incidents. Eight people have been killed and 14 more injured.

Yet DHS leadership and the White House have minimized these events, and the Department of Justice has failed to pursue full, independent investigations or to fully cooperate with state criminal investigations. ICE now operates with a massive budget and less oversight than any other law enforcement agency in the country.

Enough is enough. Now is the moment to speak up.

Sign this petition now to demand that Congress:

Investigate ICE’s and CBP’s use of force and the orders coming from the top of DHS
Push for independent, full criminal investigations of these cases

Regardless of where you stand on immigration, no agency should have essentially unlimited funding and zero accountability.

Tell your Congressperson they need to investigate ICE abuse and demand accountability.

To My Member of Congress,

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to take immediate action to address the growing pattern of violence and abuse by ICE and other federal immigration agents. The firing of Kristi Noem is an important step towards accountability, but there is more to be done.

Across the country, people are being shot, threatened at gunpoint, and detained in circumstances that raise serious concerns about the use of force and respect for basic rights. American citizens, immigrants, and even children have been caught up in these incidents. In several cases, people have been killed, others seriously injured, and communities left traumatized with no clear answers or independent investigations.

You have a responsibility to demand answers, transparency, and accountability and I am asking you to:

1. Directly investigate ICE and CBP’s use of force and the instructions coming from the top of DHS
2. Push for independent, full criminal investigations of these cases

This is not about immigration policy or enforcement. It is about whether any federal law enforcement agency is allowed to operate with deadly force, enormous funding, and virtually no accountability.

Sincerely,
