I’ve supported local law enforcement my whole career, but what ICE did made their job worse and devalued the profession.   We can’t pretend that what happened during Operation Metro Surge was how we want to enforce our immigration laws. And we can’t pretend that it wasn’t politically motivated.  The recklessness and chaos from ICE and the Trump administration killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.  Thousands of families were torn apart. The conditions at Whipple are inhumane. They are releasing people into the cold, at night, without any way home, and often without personal belongings.  We need real immigration reform: fully fund immigration courts and judges, pathways to citizenship for hard working people here for decades, expanded visa permits to support our farmers, hold ICE and senior leadership accountable for the killings of Good and Pretti, the wrongful detention of American citizens, and the dehumanization of immigrants in our state.   Just a few short weeks left before November 3rd. We can win this. We can get our country back. And we can create humane immigration policies that reflect our country’s values.
