Sánchez: Shooting in Minnesota falls squarely at Trump’s feet

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) today released the following statement after federal immigration agents shot and killed another U.S. citizen in Minnesota:

“The killing of U.S. citizens in our streets falls squarely at Trump’s feet. He is the one who unleashed federal agents to terrorize previously peaceful communities. Agents without training, accountability or respect for human life are not law enforcement – they have become hired assassins.

“The majority of House Democrats voted this week to block ICE’s funding and rein in the chaos. The Senate must immediately join us to end the escalation of violence. There must also be a completely independent and fully transparent investigation into these aggressive tactics, and anyone who broke the law must be held accountable.

“The Trump administration’s unchecked abuse of power has transformed our neighborhoods into warzones where no one feels safe. It must end now!”
