"Today’s reports of an American citizen – the second in three weeks – killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement action are deeply disturbing.

That a healthcare worker – someone devoted to saving lives – could be killed while posing no apparent threat is unconscionable. This is not what public safety looks like.

Lawmakers must demand accountability from our federal government. The rule of law is meaningless if federal agents are empowered and even encouraged to operate with impunity in American cities with no oversight from their handlers in Washington. We cannot allow the protections we all have fought for to be hollow words while people are shot and killed in the streets.

When federal operations result in more violence and chaos instead of safety, it’s time to seriously reevaluate the mission and oversight of those agencies."
