Let me be clear: I cannot vote for legislation that gives ICE even more funding to terrorize our communities.
Not after 2025 was the deadliest year on record to be in ICE custody in two decades.
Not after they killed a mom in cold blood with zero accountability.

In Minneapolis, masked ICE agents surrounded Renee Nicole Good’s car and, without warning, fired three shots and killed her. Now an American mom is dead for no reason. This is the opposite of what the federal government should do—which is to keep us safe.
