Community Change Action: Block DHS Funding and Abolish Trump’s ICE Now
Today, ICE agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, as part of an expanded federal immigration operation. This is the second fatal shooting by DHS agents in Minneapolis in less than three weeks. Lorella Praeli, Co-President of Community Change Action, issued the following statement:
“This was cold-blooded murder. This violence is the direct result of the policies and rhetoric of the President and Vice President of the United States. They have unleashed federal agents to use force and intimidation in American communities. They have blood on their hands.
No member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, should vote to expand ICE or DHS funding. Voting to give this agency more money is a vote for continued violence and murder in communities across the country. It’s time to block DHS funding and time to abolish Trump’s ICE.”
