Dear John,

Congress must act, decisively and without delay. The authority of the law depends
not on force alone, but on restraint, discipline, and accountability. On January
7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, was shot and killed in
Minneapolis when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fired into her
vehicle. She had just dropped off her 6-year-old son at school. Federal officials
claimed the shooting was justified, that Ms. Good attempted to use her car as a
weapon. That assertion is not sufficient. When the federal government takes a
life, it owes the public a full, transparent accounting, grounded in evidence,
not reflexive defenses.

Sign the petition to Demand a Congressional Investigation of DHS to Stop Deadly
Violence today, and make sure your voice is heard. [ [link removed] ]

The next day, on January 8, 2026, federal agents shot two people during a traffic
stop in Portland, Oregon. Their conditions were not immediately known. These
incidents are part of a broader and deeply troubling pattern. In the last four
months, federal immigration officers have fired on at least nine people across
five states and Washington, D.C.; every one of those shootings involved a person
inside a vehicle, and at least one other person has died. Each time, the
explanation has been identical, fear of being struck by a car. When lethal force
follows the same script again and again, Congress is not merely permitted to
intervene; it is obligated to do so.

This pattern did not begin in January 2026. In September 2025, Silverio
Villegas-Gonzalez was shot and killed outside Chicago during an immigration stop;
in October 2025, Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in Los Angeles under similar
circumstances. In both cases, official accounts were later challenged by
available evidence.

Demand a Congressional Investigation of DHS to Stop Deadly Violence today, and
add your name to the petition today. [ [link removed] ]

Congress must now demand a full congressional investigation into the use of force
by federal immigration agents, including traffic stops, rules of engagement,
training, supervision, and post-incident review. This is not a symbolic exercise.
It is a test of whether federal power will be governed by law or excused by
repetition. If Congress fails to act, it sends the message that a badge alone
excuses deadly force, a notion that runs against our Constitution and the
American promise that no one stands above the law.

In solidarity,
