John,
This week, an ICE agent murdered Renee Nicole Good at point blank range―a mother of three who loved to sing and write poetry. She had just dropped her 6-year-old off at school and was following agents’ instructions to drive away. But an ICE agent shot and killed her. She was in her car next to her wife and you can hear her screams immediately after.
“ICE is terrorizing our communities with zero accountability. ICE makes our neighborhoods less safe, vindictively and cruelly tearing families apart.”
Those are my words from seven years ago. No matter who is president, ICE has been militarizing our neighborhoods. They just got the green light to do it out in the open for everyone to see, so they can invoke fear. We must demand Renee’s killer be held accountable and this rogue masked agency be removed from our neighborhoods. Republicans so far have blocked the Oversight committee from receiving DHS information on the incident.
Abolish ICE now. Join tomorrow’s protests across the country and here at Clark Park.
We must demand her killer be held accountable—and for this rogue agency of masked and militarized bullies to be removed from our neighborhoods.
Congress created ICE, and Congress can end ICE too. Congress can also take immediate action to hold ICE and Trump’s administration accountable by investigating all ICE-related deaths.
Sign if you agree: It’s time for Congress to abolish ICE and hold the agency accountable.
Contradicting clear video evidence, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is falsely slandering Good as a “domestic terrorist,” to try to cover up this deadly shooting.
The president and vice president have joined Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in blaming Good for her own murder. This follows an outrageous pattern of smears and lies from the Trump administration after federal immigration agents commit fatal and non-fatal shootings.
Since September alone, ICE agents have fired guns on people eleven times while on duty.
At a traffic stop near Chicago, they killed Silverio Villegas González, a father of two who had just dropped his children off at school in Chicago. An off-duty ICE agent also killed another father of two, Keith Porter, in Los Angeles.
Border Patrol agents—also overseen by the Department of Homeland Security—have killed a civilian in Texas and shot people in Chicago. Like ICE, they regularly point their guns at bystanders and protesters, and this week they shot multiple people in Portland.
People around the country are protesting the killing of Renee Nicole Good and protesting federal immigration officers’ violence in our communities.
We must keep pushing back and demanding accountability for these shooting victims and for the 32 people who died in inhumane ICE detention centers in 2025.1
Add your name to demand Congress investigate all ICE and Border Patrol related murders and deaths now, and take action to defund and abolish ICE.
Right now, Congress is negotiating government funding bills, and some of my Republican colleagues are suggesting increasing funding for ICE detention camps.
Instead of expanding Trump’s deadly mass deportation scheme, we need Congress to defund ICE and hold the Department of Homeland Security accountable.
I’m on the Oversight Committee in Congress, and so far, my Republican colleagues are blocking the committee from receiving the Department of Homeland Security’s information about this incident.
Instead of expanding ICE’s ability to separate families, racially profile and kill our neighbors, and terrorize our communities, we demand oversight, investigations, accountability, and an end to this violent government agency.
Join me in holding DHS, ICE, and this lawless administration accountable. Add your name to demand Congress immediately investigate all ICE-related deaths and defund and abolish ICE.
ICE and the Trump administration are making our streets and communities less safe. They want to silence us through fear and intimidation. But we fight fascism by continuing to speak out and show up for our neighbors.
People power has won major changes. Together, we will continue demanding the world we deserve, where everyone’s rights and humanity are respected.
In love and solidarity,
Rashida
