NACDL's official statement on the utmost importance of upholding the Constitution during the ICE occupation of Minnesota:

"The Bill of Rights is not a suggestion; it is the bedrock of our Republic. As defense counsel, we serve as the sentinels of the Sixth Amendment, ensuring that the shield of due process remains strong. When federal agents target individuals based on perceived resistance rather than objective evidence of wrongdoing, the Rule of Law suffers.

“We are calling for a fundamental recalibration of ICE recruitment and conduct. Currently, the actions of these agents—such as firing at moving vehicles or gunning down individuals recording their activities—fall far short of the constitutional standards expected of any entity granted the power of the state. We must move away from the peril of profiling and toward a framework that prizes constitutional rights, respect for the dignity of every individual, and de-escalation over bullying and deadly dominance."
