The killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were not just tragedies – they were atrocities. And instead of ensuring accountability, senior administration officials have blocked it.

The Pretti and Good executions are part of a pattern of growing abuse encouraged by senior officials, and total lack of accountability. That's a recipe for escalating brutality. The answer to these crimes is not shuffling staff. It's ensuring full accountability. open.substack.com/pub/mariamcf...

ICE now has the largest budget of any US law enforcement agency, and the least accountability. An agent shot & killed a US citizen mom in her SUV today. DOJ can't be counted on to investigate.
