Rep. Andrea Salinas introduced the ICE Shootings Transparency Act with Rep. Delia Ramirez, seeking to require DHS and the attorney general to share evidence from certain ICE and CBP use-of-force incidents with local law enforcement. The bill follows disputed investigations into two deaths involving ICE agents.
Salinas and Ramirez said their bill would give state and local law enforcement access to evidence related to shootings by ICE or CBP officers that injure or kill someone. Ramirez also called for abolishing ICE and dismantling DHS. The bill is cosponsored by six other House members.
The article says the bill follows the January 2026 death of Renee Good in Minneapolis and the later killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was removed from a joint investigation with the FBI, according to the article's account of reporting by Politico. DHS and ICE did not respond to KOIN's requests for comment, and the Justice Department declined to comment.
