Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Yet Another U.S. Citizen Killed by ICE & CBP in Minneapolis
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on yet another U.S. citizen killed in cold blood by ICE and CBP in Minneapolis:
"Yet another U.S. citizen has been killed in cold blood by ICE and CBP in Minneapolis for exercising his First Amendment rights. This is sick and should shock all Americans. It is also more of the purposeful chaos and violence that Trump and Kristi Noem welcome and are responsible for. Trump and Noem have blood on their hands.
"Then, within minutes – just like with Renee Good – DHS and its mass propaganda machine slandered and attacked the deceased individual with no evidence and spun its own fantasy narrative as fact. Apparently, the Trump administration and its secret police only support the First and Second Amendments when it’s convenient to them.
"This is un-American and has to stop. ICE and CBP must leave Minneapolis at once. DHS must release the body camera footage now. Do-nothing Republicans in Congress must force ICE and CBP leaders to testify publicly. The Senate must vote against funding CBP and ICE. The House must immediately take steps to impeach Kristi Noem."
