"Steal USA FIFA WC Kickoff on June 12th"

Background:

ICE currently operates largely exempt from federal civil rights law. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bans racial discrimination in programs receiving federal funding—but federal enforcement agencies like ICE are not considered “recipients”, letting them evade lawsuits.

The crisis is deadly: 2026 data shows ICE non-criminal arrests have surged 585% year-over-year, with 73% of detainees having no criminal convictions—US citizens, legal residents, and workers targeted by appearance alone. High-profile deaths reveal the lethal toll [1][2]

• **Renee Good** (US Citizen, Executed Jan 7, 2026 in Minneapolis)

• **Alex Pretti** (US Citizen Publicly Executed by ICE Jan 24th, 2026 in Minneapolis)  

• **73,000+ in detention**—record high, 84% jump from 2025 [3]

This loophole is a modern civil rights failure. 

Just as The March on Washington DC in 1963 forced Congress to protect voting and employment rights, we need a massive, visible demonstration to demand accountability today.

What We Are Demanding:

We Demand Congress pass the "Federal Law Enforcement Accountability Act of 2026".

Extend Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to ICE and federal law enforcement—ban racial profiling in arrests and deportations exactly like Title VI banned it in schools.

How it works (3 simple steps):

-Direct Ban: ICE/federal agents cannot use race/nationality/employment for stops/deportations—Title VI language applied to feds.

-Auto Budget Cut: No quarterly race/ethnicity data on stops? Compounding 25% budget cuts quarterly until compliance: Q1 25% → Q2 50% → Q3 75% → operational collapse automatically frozen by CBO—no DOJ needed.

-Direct Lawsuits: Families can sue ICE officers/agents in federal court for damages—qualified immunity waived for profiling claims. 

March for Justice on June 12th, 2026

Join thousands at the Lincoln Memorial and march toward Capitol Hill.

Show Congress the scale of public demand for civil rights enforcement.

Why This Matters:

Civil rights law must cover everyone, including federal agencies.

Public pressure is the only way to close this loophole and protect vulnerable communities.

Visibility is key: the United States FIFA World Cup opener on June 12th provides a global stage for civil rights.

The last Qatar World Cup drew a total global viewership of 5 BILLION

Take Action:

Sign this petition to show Congress there is massive support for closing the ICE loophole.

Share with friends, family, and communities – let’s build momentum toward a safe, lawful, historic march on June 12th, 2026.

Together, we draw the word's eye to our demand for accountability and civil rights, with a defined legal target.
