‘ICE has no place terrorising Minneapolis’: Ilhan Omar calls to defund federal enforcement

The leadership of the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus said Tuesday that it will “oppose all funding” for US immigration enforcement in any upcoming government appropriations bills without substantial reforms, a position laid out as federal agents unleashed by President Donald Trump continued to terrorize communities across the country. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), deputy chair of the CPC, said during a press conference alongside other caucus members that “demanding accountability is not radical.” Omar represents the district where 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross last week.
