Statement from CADEM Chair Rusty Hicks on Tragic ICE Killings:

“California Democrats stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota who are making their voices heard and peacefully demanding justice, transparency, and accountability after the fatal shooting of devoted ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. 

The right to protest and insist that no one is above the law is fundamental to our democracy, and those rights must be protected.  

We also mourn the tragic killings by ICE of Renee Nicole Good of Minnesota and Keith Porter Jr. of Northridge, and the 32 people who died in ICE custody in 2025. These killings are a tragedy, a betrayal of the public trust and a stain on our democratic values.”
