On July 7, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo while on his way to work. Mr. Salgado Araujo lived in the United States for 35 years, raising three boys who are U.S. citizens. ICE later admitted Mr. Salgado Araujo wasn't the person they were after – he supposedly "resembled" their target.

Days later, ICE shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old man living in Maine. His wife and 3-year-old daughter watched in horror as he took his last breaths. ICE again admitted that he was not the intended target of their operation. That same day, a man in Florida died during a highway traffic stop.

From Maine to Texas to Florida and beyond, ICE agents are rushing to meet arbitrary and unprecedented arrest quotas at Stephen Miller and President Trump's demands. A surge of agents is flooding our streets. These deaths are the devastating yet predictable result.

When will the violence stop? When will ICE stop killing people in our streets? Join us in demanding accountability and an end to these fatal, lawless operations.

Subject Stop ICE's deadly spree

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who lived in the United States for 35 years. But as a result of the absurd arrest quotas and out-of-control ICE practices created by the Trump administration's mass detention coalition, he was killed by ICE agents while on his way to work. Days later, ICE agents shot and killed 26-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine. His wife and 3-year-old daughter watched in horror as he took his last breaths.

We've seen ICE agents kill people in our streets with no accountability or justice – including Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. ICE has previously released statements that directly contradict eyewitness and video evidence. Now, ICE is asking the public to look away once again as this expansive secret police force kills more of our neighbors.

ICE must stop flooding our communities with its reckless agents. We need Congress to act.

Message Body

From Maine to Texas, ICE endangers our communities and must be stopped before anyone else is hurt or killed. I urge you to commit to stripping ICE of its unprecedented billions of dollars in funding.

I urge you to pressure Secretary Mullin to draw down ICE agents from their nationwide arrest surge, end the immigration arrest quotas, and commit to real reforms. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must not stand in the way of a full and independent review of Mr. Salgado Araujo and Mr. Durán Guerrero's killings – including access to the full evidence for local investigators, preservation and access to body camera footage, and recurring, regular updates on the status of the DHS Office of the Inspector General's investigation.

Sincerely,
