WASHINGTON, DC — Following the killing of a Minnesota man by ICE Agents, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar said: "Federal agents killing people in the streets is an assault on the right of all Americans to be safe. Senate Democrats must reject funding for ICE this coming week and demand an end to this madness. Doing anything else would be a tacit endorsement of the terror and chaos in our streets.”
The Progressive Caucus previously adopted a position opposing new funding for immigration enforcement at DHS until significant reforms are enacted.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is made up of nearly 100 members standing up for progressive ideals in Washington and throughout the country. Since 1991, the CPC has advocated for progressive policies that prioritize working Americans over corporate interests. The CPC champions policies including comprehensive immigration reform, good-paying jobs, fair trade, universal health care, debt-free college, climate action, and a just foreign policy. The caucus is the leading voice calling for bold and sweeping solutions to the urgent crises facing this nation, including ending America’s broken for-profit health care system, raising American wages, eliminating political corruption, supporting the labor movement, and taking action to protect the planet for generations to come.
