Future Leaders of America condemns the actions taken by ICE and the ongoing loss of life resulting from violence carried out with impunity. Extreme violence by ICE is not rare; it has become normalized. We refuse to accept this as our future.
In the aftermath of Renee Good’s killing, the administration and right-wing politicians have attempted to push a false narrative, labeling her a “domestic terrorist” and claiming she attempted to harm ICE agents. We know this is not true because video evidence exists. We know because our own communities have repeatedly suffered loss and trauma at the hands of ICE. These crimes continue to be framed as “necessary” and are routinely shielded from accountability.
Now, more than ever, our communities must stand together and take action.
