Opinion | The Best Weapon You Have in the Fight Against ICE

Gift article.

Solidarity with Minnesota demands:

#4. All corporations become 4th Amendment businesses. Cease economic relations with ICE, refuse ICE entry to or use of their property for staging grounds, and lobby Congress to freeze funding for

#3. Shut down Trump’s ICE. No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget
— and ICE should be independently investigated for human and Constitutional rights violations against Americans and our neighbors.

Solidarity with Minnesota demands:

#2. Any officer who kills a civilian must be held legally accountable. That begins with legitimate investigations and charges by local officials.

Solidarity with Minnesota demands: Bovino leaving is not enough.

#1. ICE must leave Minnesota NOW. No continued militarized enforcement in our streets.

We cannot stand idly by while rogue ICE agents ravage our communities, brutalize families, and kill our neighbors.

Our bill sends a powerful message to everyone in America—citizen or not—that when ICE agents break the law, they should and will be held accountable.
