2026 Press releases

January 27, 2026
Mosqueda motion calls on Congress to impose strict guardrails on ICE, other DHS agencies, in wake of three deaths at the hands of ICE agents
“The violence imposed and deaths caused by our own federal government under the guise of immigration enforcement must stop. People are scared to go to work, school, medical appointments, the grocery store, and required court hearings or immigration check-ins for fear they may be abducted by ICE due to the color of their skin or for having an accent. People across this country are taking courageous actions to document ICE’s activity, and are being physically attacked, brutalized, and killed by the very officers who are supposed to uphold the law. We cannot let this go on and Congress must stop funding this campaign of violence and terror.”
