CBP has murdered another person in Minneapolis, in broad daylight, on video. This was not an accident or an isolated incident. There is no finger-pointing or spin Trump and Republicans can put on this to convince anyone otherwise. This is murder — just like we saw with Renee Nicole Good. https://people.com/federal-officers-shoot-and-kill-man-in-minneapolis-officials-say-11891983

Yesterday, Minnesotans showed up in subzero temperatures in a powerful, nonviolent, and massive protest against ICE and CBP’s violent occupation of the city. Immigration officers responded today by murdering another citizen. This is the predictable, tragic outcome of allowing a violent, unaccountable secret police force to operate in our communities and then continuing to fund it.
We need our leaders to stand up to this lawlessness and violence, and Congress has the chance to do that this week.

Last week, House Democratic leadership failed to whip the DHS funding vote, and the seven House Democrats who voted in favor of additional funding for Trump’s goon squad should hang their heads in shame. But it’s not over — Senate Democrats can still stop this ICE and CBP funding bill.
Any Democratic senator who votes to give DHS more money paves the way for more violence from ICE and CBP in more peaceful communities.

Senator Schumer should whip his caucus to fully oppose this bill, and every Democratic senator should vote no on any funding package that gives ICE and CBP one more dollar. Senators must use their leverage to rein in ICE and CBP, and protect their constituents. This isn’t left versus right — this is democracy versus autocracy. And any elected Democrat on the wrong side of that line should be thrown out of the party.

Our hearts are with the people of Minneapolis and everyone living in the shadows of fear due to this regime. What we’re all seeing unfold in Minneapolis underscores a truth immigrant communities have been living with for years: ICE and CBP are unchecked agencies that are terrorizing communities.

Yesterday, hundreds of businesses in Minneapolis joined over 75,000 peaceful protesters for a general strike to call for ICE and CBP to leave their communities. We stand in solidarity with immigrant communities and brave people across Minneapolis who are standing up for their neighbors. We demand an end to ICE and CBP’s lawlessness, and support the state of Minnesota in calling for independently investigating and prosecuting this case.

Agents who kill our citizens should get prison, not our tax dollars. -

@indivisibleteam There are several videos. The victim had his empty hands up, trying to shield the woman CBP had shoved to the ground. The videos show our victim never reached for his gun. He was murdered, it wasn't one shot to stop him, there were several shots after he was lying still, and CBP agents backed away from him, just staring at him.

thank you for the clear statement. -

But he won't. I have lost any hope that Schumer or Jeffries will stand and fight and do what's right.
