Tell ICE to Stop Killing Americans
This is a tool to write your senators and member of Congress. I am suggesting you support the legislation below, but that doesn't mean you have to. The text of the emails you send can be anything you want it to be.
You can choose to support the legislation I think will be the most effective at reining in ICE but if you want to write about something else entirely, that is up to you.
The important thing is Congress hears from us. Think your senators and representative are already doing the right thing? They still need to hear from us because you can bet they are hearing from the other side. Congress needs to know we are NOT OK WATCHING ICE KILL US.
In just one year, the Department of Homeland Security has hired more than 12,000 new law enforcement officers—a 120 percent increase—to meet an administration-imposed quota of 3,000 arrests per day. This mass hiring surge has fueled indiscriminate enforcement actions that overwhelmingly target immigrants with no criminal record, dramatically expanding federal law enforcement power without adequate safeguards.
The consequences have been deadly. On January 7, 2026, a federal officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American citizen and mother of three, in Minneapolis. Her death is not an isolated incident; multiple fatal shootings by federal officers have occurred in just the past few months as immigration enforcement has intensified.
At the same time, DHS has weakened basic protections by lowering age requirements for ICE agents to 18 and slashing training from nearly five months to just 47 days. This combination of rapid expansion, inadequate training, and lack of accountability puts communities, constitutional rights, and even officers themselves at risk. Enforceable standards and mandatory body-worn cameras are essential to prevent abuse, protect civil liberties, and ensure that public safety is not sacrificed in the name of speed or political quotas.
Congress must act now to restore accountability and protect lives by passing Senator Cory Booker’s Federal Law Enforcement Standards and Accountability Act (FLESA) and the Federal Officer Camera Usage for Safety Act (FOCUS), which would establish clear national standards, require body-worn cameras, and ensure meaningful oversight of federal law enforcement. At the same time, Congress should impeach Kristi Noem for overseeing and enabling a dangerous expansion of federal enforcement marked by inadequate training, weakened safeguards, and deadly consequences. Accountability cannot be optional: enforceable standards, transparency, and consequences for abuse are essential to protect civil liberties, keep communities safe, and prevent future tragedies.
