For months, communities across the country, in Minnesota and beyond, have lived in terror as federal immigration enforcement agents have patrolled, surveilled, detained, disappeared, injured, and killed civilians, as well as denied people’s constitutional rights by attacking and arresting peaceful protestors. Yet our elected officials in Congress have played a pivotal role in funding and enabling this government-manufactured crisis, and they must act to stop these attacks.
We need you to stand with the League to demand that:
- Reject additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or immigration detention;
- Investigate ICE, CBP, and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) use of force;
- Impose additional DHS guardrails and accountability measures on immigration enforcement; and
- Take steps to protect the constitutional rights of civilians to peacefully protest and assemble without having their lives threatened or taken.
It is time for all of us to stand up, speak out, and demand an end to these heinous actions. No agency or elected official is above the law. Democracy cannot endure when its government uses violence to silence dissent and evade accountability.
