On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Nicole Good.
These killings are part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.

Right now, we are demanding that senators withhold their votes from any bill unless it meets these minimum conditions:
Ensures there is not one penny more for ICE or CBP
Pulls ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities
Prevents ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals
Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension
Ends the administration’s unlawful practice of warrantless home entry and arrests
We know that’s a little in the weeds, so we’ve simplified the message in the call script below. Please fill out the form and we’ll connect you to your Senator. Tell them they must act now to rein in ICE:
