#CongressionalPower

Call your congressional reps and demand that they act to stop ICE murders of US citizens and other brutality.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

The Trump administration seeks to induce “constant fear — a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe,” writes our columnist M. Gessen. “State terror has arrived.”

#ICEMurders #Breaking

See this list of ICE killings in 2025 and 2026.

Now another man is added to the list. He was carrying a gun but that isn't illegal in MN.

We need a fair investigation;the cover-up is already in full force if you read up on it.

PEACEFULLY #Resist the #MadKing 's #Gestapo

#MurderCoverup #ICEMurders

This latest killing by ICE needs an honest investigagion but apparently that is not what is happening.

DHS should NOT have been refunded without major changes. If your congressional rep voted for this they need to hear from you, PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
