Senate Democrats React to ICE Killing in Minneapolis

HARTFORD — Senate President Martin Looney (D-New Haven), Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk), and members of the Senate Democratic caucus released the following statement today regarding the killing in Minneapolis by the Trump administration’s ICE.

“The apparent murder of Renee Good is reprehensible, and we condemn it in the strongest terms. This incident happened because Donald Trump’s regime is sending armed, masked, anonymous agents into communities all across the country under the guise of ‘protection’, but with the true intent of sheer domination. Wednesday’s murder – and we do call it a murder – committed by an ICE agent is just the most recent consequence of a reckless and cruel Republican administration that seems intent on destroying the very human rights upon which our Constitution is founded. The citizens of America must speak out and demand that Donald Trump’s lawlessness must end, and that those federal agents responsible for murder and mayhem be held accountable. Legislative session starts soon, and we will look at ways to hold rogue federal authorities accountable at the state level.”

The statement was signed by:

• Senate President Martin Looney
• Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff
• Senator Doug McCrory
• Senator MD Rahman
• Senator Saud Anwar
• Senator Derek Slap
• Senator Rick Lopes
• Senator Paul Honig
• Senator Matt Lesser
• Senator Gary Winfield
• Senator Christine Cohen
• Senator Jan Hochadel
• Senator Joan Hartley
• Senator Jorge Cabrera
• Senator Martha Marx
• Senator Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox
• Senator Herron Keyon Gaston
• Senator Julie Kushner
• Senator Ceci Maher
• Senator Pat Billie Miller
• Senator Mae Flexer
• Senator Norm Needleman
