Senator Tartaglione Condemns ICE Violence, Calls for Immediate Action

Philadelphia, PA, January 25, 2026 - Senator Christine M. Tartaglione (D-2, Philadelphia) released the following statement in response to the recent killings involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), condemning the agency's actions and calling for immediate accountability and federal action to protect our communities.

"Another person has been killed on American streets by ICE, and we cannot stay quiet.

In Minneapolis, ICU nurse Alex Pretti, a caregiver to veterans, a neighbor, a compassionate figure in his community, was fatally shot by ICE agents. This heartbreaking loss follows the murder of Renee Nicole Good, a mother who was shot multiple times by an ICE agent earlier this month.

What is happening in our communities is a betrayal of our values, our laws, and our basic humanity. Families are being terrorized, rights are being ignored, and ordinary people are being killed without clear accountability. When federal action results in death instead of safety, when it tears apart families instead of protecting them, we must demand answers and change.

The people of Pennsylvania and communities across this country deserve leaders who will call for responsible, humane policy and demand that federal actions never again result in avoidable tragedy. Congress and federal leaders must act to stop this unchecked violence."
