Our Statement on the actions of ICE
The Fauquier County Democratic Committee stands with the people of Minnesota. When the Federal government commits murder against its own citizens,as ICE has in Minneapolis
against Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we must all stand together. Those ICE agents who murdered without cause or justification must be brought to justice.
In Minnesota and across America we see that our Federal government no longer respects the Constitution and the rights of United States citizens.The current administration is ignoring or destroying:
our rights under the First Amendment to free speech and to peacefully assemble;
our rights under the Second Amendment to bear arms;
our rights under the Fourth Amendment to protection against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, ensuring the right to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects.What is happening in Minnesota, and in other communities, is not about immigration. It is about denying people their Constitutional rights. It is about escalation and dominance. It is about masked government thugs attacking and killing people. This is a direct threat to the lives and futures of all Americans.
We demand accountability. We demand justice. We demand that our elected officials do their jobs.
We demand democracy.
