Rep. Haley Stevens introduces 'Hold ICE Accountable' act

“This is about accountability, for an agency that hasn't had any. Everywhere I go in Michigan people are asking about ICE overreach, ICE abuses of power, excessive force, racial profiling, there are deep concerns about what is going on in Romulus,  and in South Field. I’m a member of Congress, and I’ve been stonewalled.”

“My legislation that I am offering today, is going to put in place a special prosecutor, so that we can have accountability for ICE agents that have committed crimes. We saw two Americans killed before our very eyes, none of this has been acceptable. So, I want real accountability now, that isn't tied to waiting for this administration, who has failed Michigan, and failed the American people.”

“We were told that an investigation was going on, that a death review was going on, I’ve also been at the forefront of calling out ICE abuse of power and ICE mismanagement. I called for Kristi Noem to go, I called for her to be removed from office as the Cabinet Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security. From top to bottom, we need accountability”

“We still need accountability, we need reforms, and we need to see prosecutions for crimes committed, which is why I’ve written this legislation to create a special prosecutor that will be at the level of a U.S. attorney to go in and do what's right on behalf of the letter of the law here in this country. We’ve got to work on the fears that are going on here in Michigan, and with Michiganders. People have been so worried about what they saw in Minneapolis coming here to Michigan, there is tension, and there is lack of trust because there is no accountability, and there is so much mismanagement going on at this time.”

“I want to see real reforms, I want to see accountability, and I want to see Michigan protected and heard at the lawmaking table.”
