Adriano Espaillat: “We propose to suspend ICE and CBP immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota. We also propose to end warrantless…”

“We propose to suspend ICE and CBP immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota. We also propose to end warrantless stops. We also want to suspend indiscriminate arrests and militarized tactics against civilians nationwide. Allow the agency to continue legitimate statutory enforcement, focused on serious public safety threats. This includes, obviously, the immediate protections against the detention and targeting of U.S. citizens. That is right, Mr. Speaker. This agency has been rampantly arresting not just green card holders, TPS recipients, Dreamers, moms, and dads, but also U.S. citizens. We also call to redirect the $75 billion OBBB enforcement funding away from mass detention and quota-driven arrests toward humane community safety and affordability concerns. This includes independent investigations into the deaths in DHS detention. As I said earlier, many people have died while in DHS custody. We want to deliver accountability by advancing comprehensive legislation to unmask ICE agents.”
