This Week in the World: Ending Immigration Enforcement Violence

Alex Pretti was killed this past weekend by an out-of-control immigration enforcement apparatus. His death, along with that of Renee Good, and at least 53 other deaths in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody, was not inevitable. It was due to a violent system – one that has deserted accountability and abandoned respect for human life. Congress has allowed a paramilitary to balloon with an investment of $170 billion last year, with few guardrails.
