Three months ago yesterday, ICE agents ruthlessly killed Renee Good in broad daylight.
Since that day, hundreds of thousands of people across the country have been moved to action, protesting for weeks on end and mobilizing to demand an end to ICE’s horrific violence in our communities.
Justice must come in the form of fundamental reforms that rein in ICE and Border Patrol’s lawlessness, hold federal immigration agents accountable, and prevent these agencies from harming one more person. We make these demands for Renee Good. For Alex Pretti. For our immigrant neighbors. And for every person killed, harmed, or threatened by these agents.
This is our chance to get real accountability for Renee Good’s preventable and tragic death.
Thanks to messages from over 430,000 ACLU supporters like you, Congress has refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without reforms for over a month. This means no more money for agents in our streets. No more money for reckless, violent raids. No more money for racial profiling, warrantless arrests, and detentions of children.
But as this partial shutdown stretches longer, Stephen Miller, the orchestrator of President Trump’s cruel anti-immigrant policies, and others in the White House are pressuring Congress to bypass the usual procedures and fund DHS through an obscure process called reconciliation – pouring billions more back into ICE and Border Patrol without any accountability, reform, or justice.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to help protect our communities – and for staying in this fight with us.
Together,
