The Fauquier County Democratic Committee stands with the people of Minnesota. When the Federal government commits murder against its own citizens,as ICE has in Minneapolis
against Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we must all stand together. Those ICE agents who murdered without cause or justification must be brought to justice.
In Minnesota and across America we see that our Federal government no longer respects the Constitution and the rights of United States citizens.The current administration is ignoring or destroying:
our rights under the First Amendment to free speech and to peacefully assemble;
our rights under the Second Amendment to bear arms;
our rights under the Fourth Amendment to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, ensuring the right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects.What is happening in Minnesota, and in other communities, is not about immigration. It is about denying people their Constitutional rights. It is about escalation and dominance. It is about masked government thugs attacking and killing people. This is a direct threat to the lives and futures of all Americans.
We demand accountability. We demand justice. We demand that our elected officials do their jobs.
We demand democracy.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PiedmontArea Democratic CommitteesCondemn ICE & CBP’s Deadly Misconduct
We, the Democratic Committees ofthe Piedmont Area, representing Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Rappahannock, Orange, and Spotsylvania counties, denounce the actions of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agencies. The murders of both Renee Good and Alex Pretti are but two of the most recent examples of excessive and abhorrent actions. These deaths show a complete lack of accountability by DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, ignorance of de-escalation training, and a complete disregard for the agency’s mandate to focus on those who truly represent a danger to our country.
DHS’s own data indicates that fewer than 30% of those arrested have any criminal convictions, and only a small fraction involves violent offenses[1]. Agents target lawful residents and citizens over whom they lack jurisdiction
and willfully ignore individuals’ 1st,2nd,4th, and 14th amendment rights. We have witnessed agents engage in dehumanizing and dangerous tactics; reports have documented elderly individuals left outdoors in freezing temperatures, children used as bait to detain their parents, and repeated violations of right to counsel.Americans across communities have mobilized in protest, calling for accountability, transparency, and a pause to ICE operations until the agency is fully evaluated for lawful conduct. While we firmly condemn any act of violence against officers, portraying peaceful demonstrations as “riots” is a deliberate effort to distort lawful protest and legitimize the agency’s escalating use of force.
We urge residents to contact their state and local representatives and advocate for an immediate end to cooperation with ICE. Constituents should also reach out to their sheriff’s offices to affirm that local law enforcement has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure ICE complies with constitutional, federal, and state law. We further call on Governor Spanberger to: continue rejecting mandatory participation in the 287(g) program; oppose any effort to establish new detention centers in Virginia; and, if necessary, deploy the Virginia National Guard to safeguard the lives and livelihood of Virginians.
Current federal actions do not reflect a commitment to public safety.Instead, this administration’s approach has been to create fear and disorder.
Despite our nation’s complicated history, the United States has long aspired to
welcome newcomers with dignity and hope—a principle we must continue to defend.
