ARTICLE I

(1) Enabling ICE and CBP to act as judge, jury, prosecutor, and executioner when assaulting and committing unjustified killings with impunity, in violation of the Fifth Amendment right to due process

On January 24, 2026, Federal immigration officers killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, when he was part of a small group of approximately fifteen peaceful protesters. Video and witness accounts demonstrate that immediately before the shooting, a Federal officer shoved a female observer standing next to Mr. Pretti. When Mr. Pretti moved between the officer and the woman he had assaulted, the officer sprayed Mr. Pretti with a chemical agent and pulled him to his knees. At least six other officers then surrounded Mr. Pretti, pushed him to the ground, and took possession of Mr. Pretti’s gun. Officers then shot Mr. Pretti at least nine times, killing him. As with the unjustified killing of Ms. Good, the Federal officers did not provide medical aid. Although Mr. Pretti was armed—with a gun he was legally licensed to carry—he never brandished it at any point during the encounter, despite being assaulted physically, including with chemical agents, and a Federal officer had control of Mr. Pretti’s weapon when he was killed.

(2) Enabling ICE and CBP to operate with anonymity and secrecy to terrorize communities, in violation of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures and the Fifth Amendment right to due process

(3) Enabling ICE and CBP to undermine civil liberties and basic freedom of speech, in violation of the First Amendment right to free speech

(4) Undermining judicial oversight by flouting the separation of powers
