This resolution urges the United States Congress to restore and strengthen oversight and accountability mechanisms for the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to recent nationwide incidents. The resolution highlights concerns raised by community leaders and citizens regarding the conduct of ICE officers, noting that aggressive federal immigration raids are continuing despite public apprehension and warnings from state and local officials about threats to public safety and community trust, particularly after fatal incidents involving ICE officers that have raised questions about the use of force and transparency. It further points out that the Trump Administration has weakened key DHS oversight agencies, such as the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, leading to unaddressed complaints about officer conduct due to staff reductions and agency closures, and that the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has also experienced staff cuts, limiting investigations into unconstitutional practices. The resolution concludes that this lack of federal accountability has eroded public trust and caused trauma in affected communities, making the restoration of robust federal oversight essential for lawful, transparent immigration enforcement that respects civil rights and community safety.
