John,

Over the weekend, 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed by federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. This killing comes a little over two weeks after the fatal shooting of Renee Good, whose family has yet to be delivered justice, answers or accountability.

What is happening in Minneapolis is unacceptable. We are witnessing an unprecedented pattern of excessive and deadly force being used against our own communities.

There is an extremely disturbing, violent pattern associated with the Trump administration’s lawless and aggressive immigration enforcement operations: When federal agents are deployed into residential neighborhoods with little oversight and sweeping authority, people are put in harm’s way.

The Trump administration is failing to protect American lives. Voto Latino is demanding an immediate and independent investigation into the tragedies in Minneapolis, we are calling on U.S. Senators to freeze DHS funding, and we urge Congress to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem immediately

We will continue to stand alongside immigrant communities and demand accountability from elected officials who enable and defend harmful enforcement policies that put our families and communities at risk.

Thank you,

— Voto Latino
