The Trump Administration's brutal occupation of American communities with armed, masked agents must end immediately.
Congress has a responsibility to defend the American people from this lawlessness. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle must unite in this effort and assert our constitutionally mandated congressional oversight authority to hold the Administration accountable. We must stop this violence before more lives are lost.
That is why I voted no on a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and I am demanding more accountability and oversight of DHS operations.
I support impeaching DHS Secretary Noem and negotiating a full-year funding bill for DHS that creates accountability and oversight of ICE operations and DHS detention facilities, including provisions to:
* Ensure ICE and CBP immediately leave Minneapolis and stop terrorizing American cities and communities
* Ensure full, independent, and transparent investigations into all DHS-related shootings, including federal cooperation with state and local investigations, and ensure that federal agents are properly trained, appropriately supervised, and held fully accountable for their actions
* Ensure robust minimum standards of care at detention facilities – including access to medical care, clean water, edible food, and protections against abuse – and ensure independent investigations of deaths
* End arrests without judicial warrants and, outside of exigent circumstances, arrests at sensitive locations such as churches, shelters, schools, and courthouses
* End the detention and deportation of U.S. citizens
* End the anonymity of federal agents by requiring them to remove their masks and provide identification
