Indian-origin Congressman Shri Thanedar Pushes to Abolish ICE After Fatal Minnesota Shooting

• Congressman Shri Thanedar introduced the Abolish ICE Act following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, citing ICE's aggressive enforcement methods.
• The proposed legislation aims to dismantle ICE, reassigning its responsibilities to other federal bodies like the Department of Homeland Security within 90 days if passed.
• Thanedar argues that ICE, since its 2003 establishment, has prioritized violence over due process, terrorizing communities and operating outside legal norms.
• He also supports impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing her of lying to Congress and allowing ICE agents to wreak havoc.
• The move has sparked backlash from Trump allies, who have personally attacked Thanedar, while some Democrats and a significant portion of the public support the proposal.

Why It Matters: Shri Thanedar seeks to abolish ICE, arguing it's 'beyond reform' after a fatal shooting, sparking political debate.
