To end ICE abuse.
Whereas, on January 7, 2026, a United States citizen, Renée Nicole Good, was shot and killed by an agent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (hereinafter referred to as ICE
) in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation, sparking widespread public concern and protest;
Whereas, on January 24, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old United States citizen and nurse, was fatally shot by Federal immigration agents in Minneapolis amid enforcement activity, prompting nationwide demands for accountability and independent review;
Whereas multiple news investigations have documented that official narratives surrounding these incidents have frequently conflicted with video and eyewitness accounts, raising serious questions about use of force, transparency, and adherence to constitutional protections;
Whereas, on January 3, 2026, the death of ICE detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at Camp East Montana in Texas was officially classified as a homicide by medical examiners, contradicting prior claims from Federal authorities that the cause was suicide or medical distress;
Whereas 2025 was the deadliest year for individuals in ICE custody in more than 2 decades, with at least 32 reported deaths in detention facilities, according to data compiled by advocacy organizations and confirmed by Federal oversight entities;
Whereas Federal law requires all law enforcement agencies to operate in compliance with the Constitution, including the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments, and to respect due process, equal protection, and the right to life and liberty;
Whereas sentiments from civic leaders, community members, and legislators reflect distrust in current immigration enforcement practices and emphasize the urgent need for structural accountability and oversight; and
Whereas Congress has the constitutional authority and responsibility to appropriate funds, conduct oversight, and enact reforms to ensure that Federal agencies act in accordance with the law and the public interest: Now, therefore, be it
