Accountability isn’t just a legal concept—it’s a moral one. ICE’s unchecked actions aren’t theoretical; they’re part of a dangerous pattern where government agencies operate with impunity and no consequences. This fight is about restoring accountability and ensuring our rights are upheld.

In California, we are seeing a devastating erosion of trust in law enforcement agencies, particularly with the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Many have acted in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 242, which clearly prohibits the deprivation of rights under "color of law." Allegations of violations under the Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1385, raise serious concerns about military involvement in domestic law enforcement. Furthermore, recurring breaches of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures suggest a disregard for constitutional rights.

Governor Gavin Newsom, as a leader in a state that champions human rights, must step up to ensure that ICE agents who violate these laws are prosecuted to the fullest extent. California has always been at the forefront of defending civil liberties, and it is time to take decisive action to hold those who abuse their power accountable. This is not just about ICE; it is about the precedent it sets for all government agencies.

We are calling on Governor Newsom to initiate investigations and prosecutions of ICE agents to restore faith in our justice system. Doing so will not only address these specific wrongdoings but will also affirm California’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all its residents.

Sign this petition to demand accountability and justice, and to protect the rights that are being unlawfully stripped from individuals. Join us in urging Governor Newsom to act decisively against those who abuse their authority.
