We are appalled by what has happened in Minnesota in recent weeks, where expanded federal immigration enforcement has escalated into deadly violence. ICE and CBP agents have destabilized and terrorized immigrant communities, traumatized children and families, and attacked bystanders documenting abuse. Amid peaceful protests, agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. While these tragedies cannot be undone, Congress can act to ensure they don’t happen again.

- RESULTS Executive Director Joanne Carter

β€œPassing this harmful reconciliation bill is a watershed moment. The social compact between communities and their government is in tatters. It marks the end of any remaining trust that Congress enacts the will of the people. This moment must mark the beginning of accountability.
