This week, the U.S. Senate faces an end-of-week deadline to pass government funding bills — including funding for the Department of Homeland Security, the agency that oversees ICE and Border Patrol. If Congress keeps writing checks while refusing to demand transparency and accountability, the message is clear: federal agents can take lives, and nothing has to change.

In Minneapolis this month, two U.S. citizens were killed during encounters with federal immigration agents: Renee Nicole Good, 37, a mother of three, and Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans. In both cases, federal officials immediately defended the agents’ actions. But publicly circulated videos and statements from local leaders have raised serious questions about what happened and whether lethal force was justified.

This is a test of whether our leaders still believe in basic rights: due process, equal protection, and a government that answers to the people when something goes wrong — especially when the people harmed are citizens.

We are calling on Indiana’s U.S. Senators, Todd Young and Jim Banks, to vote NO on any funding package that includes DHS/ICE funding unless there are real, enforceable accountability measures attached.

That means: no more blank checks while the agents involved remain unnamed, while investigations are disputed, and while DHS leadership insists everything is fine. If federal officials want Congress to fund DHS, they must first commit to full transparency, independent oversight, and prosecution where the evidence shows criminal wrongdoing — because the power to use force must never come without consequences.

Hoosiers can disagree about immigration policy and still agree on this: no agency should be allowed to operate above the law, and no senator should reward that with more money.

Senators Young and Banks: stand with the Constitution, with accountability, and with the families demanding truth. Vote NO on DHS/ICE funding until justice is real.

Sign to tell Indiana’s senators to stop funding DHS/ICE until there is accountability for these killings.
