A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE. Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car. This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.

With deep sorrow and regret I must report that President Donald J. Trump did not win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. I know how devastated all of you must be. But inevitably, someday, in the not-too-distant-future, he will give the world something much greater to celebrate.

ICE supervisors and “well-trained” agents have perpetrated horrors, shootings, and murders in our communities. Training and reforms won’t stop the violence because DHS AGENTS ARE NOT ROGUE.    DHS was designed to be a weapon. We must dismantle DHS and hold every perpetrator of violence accountable.
