Last week I told you I was introducing a bill to end Qualified Immunity for ICE and federal law enforcement, so that victims of ICE’s brutality and civil rights abuses can sue for justice.
This bill is so important because we are watching in real time as ICE and DHS tear the Constitution to shreds.
Whether it’s arresting people for free speech, detaining people based on their race or their accent, entering cars and homes without a proper warrant, or detaining US citizens without even allowing them to prove their citizenship, our civil rights have been thrown to the wind by Trump’s administration.
And right now, it’s almost impossible to hold these ICE officers accountable when they violate your rights, especially as the administration does everything they can to shield them from facing scrutiny and justice.
My bill would strip ICE of their immunity to civil suits, meaning those who experience any of these blatant civil rights violations could take the offending officers to court and seek justice and restitution. It would send a powerful message to federal agents: You are not above the law.
As I gather support for this bill on Capitol Hill, I’m asking for the folks on this grassroots team to help me show a groundswell of support for ending Qualified Immunity and finally holding ICE accountable.
