This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.
Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.
The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

I'd only add, if you vote to fund ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You're also complicit
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
