“El tiroteo fatal cometido por un agente de ICE es horroroso y profundamente preocupante. Desde Minnesota hasta Arizona, las acciones de ICE en nuestras comunidades solo han causado caos, violencia y muertes. Yo lo he vivido personalmente en Tucson. En lugar de calmar las situaciones, las empeoran; la presencia de ICE hace que nuestras comunidades sean menos seguras, no más seguras.”
