Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) condemned ICE Director Todd Lyons, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, and USCIS Director Joseph Edlow for perpetrating "great evil" through harsh immigration tactics and mass deportation policies, citing extreme violence, detaining children, and violating court orders.
Ramirez specifically called out CBP's roving patrols, intimidation, and use of chemical agents, despite a judge's order to stop, resulting in deaths such as Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and likened their actions to "the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol".
The lawmaker's strong message came ahead of a looming DHS funding deadline, warning the agency leaders that they would face justice for their actions, saying "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color," as reported by Raw Story.
