Reckless disregard for human life is rampant in the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and their neighbors and supporters.
From Chicago to California, immigrants have been killed during ICE raids and traffic stops. And there have been at least eleven non-fatal shootings by ICE and Border Patrol agents in places around the country, including another two victims in Portland, Oregon.
The killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis are not an isolated tragedies, but part of a disturbing pattern of callous and inhumane disregard of life and law. Her death, and the shockingly high number of deaths and harm inflicted in ICE detention and raids, require Congress to stop negotiations on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill until careful investigations lead to Congress’ reining in of the reckless tactics of Secretary Noem, ICE Acting Director Lyons, and their underlings.
Last year was the deadliest year in ICE detention facilities in over 20 years, with 32 deaths in 2025.
Right now, Congress is negotiating government funding bills, including funding for the Department of Homeland Security and increasing ICE detention facilities. We can stop this if we raise our voices together.

The programs and services funded by the Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee have a profound impact on health and well-being, child development, educational and skills attainment, labor force participation, and economic productivity.
CHN urges the House and Senate to stand firm and not allow efforts to radically undermine Congress’ role in appropriating funds to support approved federal programs in ways that hurt people and communities across the country. We call on Congress to reject this rescissions package that enables the Administration’s attacks on important funding for communities, undermines the bipartisan appropriations process, and paves the way for further cuts to important programs at a time of our people’s increasing needs.
The centerpiece of the tax and spending bill that President Trump signed on July 4 is a significant tax cut for wealthy families, partly tacked onto the national debt and partly paid for with cuts to health care, climate investments, and other public services.
Big corporations donated heavily to Trump’s inaugural fund. Just a few months later, federal cases against them are being dropped.
Yesterday, the Senate passed a budget bill that will create a weaker and more unequal U.S. economy. It is even more radical than the House version, with deeper Medicaid cuts that will destroy rural hospitals and strain state budgets, while adding nearly $4 trillion to the federal deficit.
Today’s action by Congress, and the tyrannous behavior of the Trump administration, are painful demonstrations that this struggle is not over.
The House of Representatives has the chance now to stop the reckless rush to enact this big and brutal piece of legislation.
CHN strongly opposes the Congressional budget package’s deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in addition to other basic needs programs coupled with tax breaks that drain resources from lower-income families to give tax breaks to the wealthy plus fund family separation, border enforcement, detention, and deportation of immigrants — policies are wasteful, inhumane, and destructive to our communities and economy. We urge Congress to instead pause this process, defeat the bill, and instead look to protect and strengthen basic needs programs.
The Senate is racing to finalize a bill that could eliminate coverage for millions. For Latinos, the consequences would be devastating.
We urge the Senate to consider the serious consequences of this unprecedented shifting of resources away from people with low and moderate incomes to those with very high incomes while increasing the debt, and to stop the headlong rush to pass this legislation by an artificial deadline.
For the first time, 900,000 parents living in every state with children over 13 years old are at risk of losing SNAP after just 3 months.
CHN urges the Senate to oppose Medicaid/ACA cuts plus the overall budget package, vote no on harmful amendments.
