FEBRUARY 1– 11:00 AM EST– SHOULD ICE BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

Rep. George Latimer's header image

Friend,

We have all been watching the news in horror that ICE has murdered two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.

I am furious.

Last year, I voted NO on the Republican budget that included over $170 billion in funding for ICE and other immigration enforcement with no direct oversight. Once again, I am joining my colleagues in Congress to stand up to the dangerous conduct of ICE and the Trump Administration’s failed policies.

ICE is out of control, and the American people deserve answers.

I want to hear from you:
Should Congress hold ICE accountable?
Yes
No
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from our office.

I am demanding a full, independent investigation into Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the dangerous conduct of ICE, and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.
 
Every public official and federal agent responsible for these unjustified killings must be held accountable.

You can follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter/X and YouTube and can sign up for our newsletter here: https://latimer.house.gov/contact/newsletter-subscribe.

Sincerely,

Rep. George Latimer's signature image
