Appalled at killing in Minnesota
To the Editor:
I wrote this letter to Congressman Chuck Edwards and thought it might be of interest to some others.
First of all, let me say that I am writing you because I am appalled at the killing of another American citizen on American streets by members of federal ICE and/or Border Patrol forces in Minnesota. This does not represent any sort of “immigration enforcement” I voted for.
I am particularly outraged at the federal government’s absolute refusal to work in concert with local authorities to conduct a thorough investigation of the most recent incident involving the death of an ICU nurse in the employ of the Veterans Administration.
I am therefore asking you to support the immediate initiation of a Congressional oversight process aimed at reviewing ICE/Border Patrol policies, procedures, training, and accountability processes. If these agencies are to receive taxpayer funding, then they and their agents must be held accountable for any questionable behavior — especially, and without exception, when it involves loss of life.
