Over the last few months we have watched in horror as the Trump administration has unleashed various law enforcement entities across the country, and particularly in Minneapolis, to conduct racist and violent immigration raids. We’ve watched them shoot community members who were exercising their First Amendment rights and putting their bodies on the line to protect their neighbors. On September 8, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a devastating ruling in Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem, granting the Trump administration authority to racially profile individuals and groups during immigration sweeps in Los Angeles. These sweeps have disproportionately targeted Black and Brown immigrant communities.
We are not strangers to law enforcement gunning down our loved ones.
Whether it involves a local police department or ICE, these extrajudicial killings must end immediately. We need full accountability for ICE’s brutality, racial profiling, and deadly use of force, as well as for its repeated violations of our rights.
For more than a decade now, Mothers Against Police Brutality has struggled against the systemic police violence that Black and Brown communities have faced since the very founding of our country.
Sign our petition and MAPB will make sure it is delivered to the Chairs of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), and Asian Pacific American Caucus. Tell them to stand against the racist, violent immigration raids and unchecked law enforcement happening across the country!
To the Leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, and Asian Pacific American Caucus:
I am writing to express my profound concern over the violent and militarized immigration enforcement operations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol, and other federal agents in cities and communities across the United States.
You all lead crucial legacy Congressional Caucuses on civil and human rights, and together, could lift the most powerful voices in the Capitol on this issue. The actions of immigration authorities represent serious abuses of power and must cease immediately. All violations arising from these operations must be independently investigated and those responsible must be held fully accountable.
These widespread enforcement efforts are not occurring in a vacuum. They disproportionately target Black and Brown communities and reflect a pattern of racial profiling and discriminatory policing that has long haunted our immigration and criminal justice systems. Families are living in fear, afraid to leave their homes, send their children to school, attend religious services, or access basic necessities such as food and medical care.
Racist enforcement practices undermine equal protection under the law and erode trust between communities and public institutions. It is unconscionable that already in 2026 at least six migrants have died while in ICE custody, including one death that was ruled a homicide. No law enforcement agency is above the law, and deaths in custody demand immediate, transparent, and independent investigation.
I urge you to ensure that all incidents involving excessive or lethal force against residents and protesters are thoroughly investigated in coordination with local authorities and independent oversight bodies. Please also hold hearings, issue a joint condemnation statement, hold press conferences – take any sort of action, time is of the essence. Officers and officials who engage in racial profiling, discriminatory enforcement, or the unlawful use of force must face meaningful consequences.

What Police Brutality Looks Like
Police brutality is a national disgrace. On average, three people a day are killed by police in the U.S. Countless others are beaten or otherwise injured at the hands of law enforcement. Only a handful of these extrajudicial killings and beatings are picked up by the national news media. But well over 90% of cases are scarcely known outside of the victim’s loved ones or the local community.
When a victim of police brutality or the surviving family in killings by police, they do not have a wide platform to share tell their story. Police brutality occurs literally every day, and the stark reality of these encounters must be shared.
