EFF Statement on ICE and CBP Violence
Summary
This statement describes how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have conducted surveillance and violated constitutional rights, including facial recognition scanning and warrantless home searches. The document argues these violations are systemic problems, citing recent deaths during enforcement actions and a leaked memo allowing searches based on administrative warrants (warrants issued by agency officials rather than judges) without judicial review.
Solution / Mitigation
Congress must vote to reject any further funding of ICE and CBP, and rebuild the immigration enforcement system from the ground up to respect human rights and ensure real accountability for individual officers, their leadership, and the agency as a whole.
