Congressman Shri Thanedar to Introduce Abolish ICE Act

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Shri Thanedar will introduce the Abolish ICE Act, legislation that would dismantle the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and end its current enforcement authority.

"The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, a 37-year-old mother fatally shot by an ICE agent, shows that ICE cannot be reformed and must be abolished. The Abolish ICE Act is a step toward justice, accountability, and a more humane approach to immigration policy."

Since ICE was established in 2003, legal experts have argued that its mission could be carried out more effectively and justly by other federal agencies, because its design prioritizes terror over justice. Decades of terror tactics culminated in the killing of Renee Nicole Good, making clear ICE is not an organization bound by the rule of law.

"When an agency's structure consistently produces harm instead of justice, there is no way to reform it. We must fundamentally change the way we approach immigration."

Congressman Shri Thanedar proudly represents Michigan's 13th Congressional District, which includes Detroit, Downriver, and the Grosse Pointes. As a champion for working families, Shri is committed to advancing economic opportunities, education, healthcare access, and entrepreneurship for underserved communities. Drawing from his journey from poverty to success, he works tirelessly to uplift Metro Detroit, ensuring every resident has the resources and support they need to thrive.
