ICE: Incompetent, Cruel, Extrajudicial
Lawless, Brutal, and Deadly Attacks on Anyone They Target
January 26, 2026
The Trump administration continues to terrorize and attack immigrant communities across the country with aggressive ICE raids, abusive and inhumane detention facilities, and targeted attacks on cities and minority groups to create fear and to silence opposition.
ICE agents have used indiscriminate violence against legal observers and peaceful protesters. In Minneapolis, they have murdered U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti in broad daylight. ICE leadership has dismissed these attacks as “self-defense” despite clear video evidence to the contrary, and the FBI has targeted the victims for investigation instead of the agents.
Trump has launched targeted attacks on Democratic-led cities — Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, and New Orleans — and on specific immigrant populations, like the Somali community in Minnesota.
The Trump administration has paused green cards and citizenship applications for people from 19 countries and has canceled citizenship ceremonies for immigrants around the country.
Hundreds of U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained and mistreated by federal agents, often as a result of racial profiling.
Detainees at ICE facilities have been subjected to inhumane conditions, abuse, and even CIA-style torture. 510 identifiable human rights violations have been reported, including sexual assault, medical negligence, and mistreatment of children and pregnant people.
Thousands of immigrants arrested by border patrol have gone missing in Chicago following “Operation Midway Blitz” and in Miami from “Alligator Alcatraz.”
ICE is using a number of privacy-violating surveillance tools and facial recognition spyware to hack phones, monitor a person’s social media, and use databases to profile and track individuals. Federal and local law enforcement has also used Flock Safety’s license plate tracking data to surveil protestors and immigrants.
The administration has revived its inhumane family separation policy. Hundreds of children have been caught up in aggressive ICE raids and torn away from parents.
These increasingly lawless, brutal, and deadly policies are glaring indicators of rising authoritarianism in America. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS. Urge them to push back against these escalating attacks on human beings, human dignity, and human rights.
