ICE Killing

The killing of any human being or child of God is wrong. Unfortunately, Borders and boundaries have created organizations involved in immigration. The unusual concept here is that an organization called ICE killed a mother, a US citizen, 37, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by shooting her point-blank in the face with a gun.   The behavior exhibited by ice is absolutely horrific and deplorable, and some of our so-called leaders have upheld this behavior as justifiable.

The sanctity of human life, an intrinsic value recognized across all ethical frameworks, stands as the foundational principle by which any society should operate. This universal truth extends to every individual, regardless of their background or legal status. Besides, thou shalt not kill.

The intricate systems of national borders and immigration policies have led to the formation of powerful enforcement agencies, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While these organizations are tasked with upholding legal frameworks, their operations must always be conducted with the utmost respect for human dignity and the fundamental right to life.

It is therefore with profound alarm and deep sorrow that I acknowledge the recent report concerning the death of this 37-year-old mother in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an incident directly attributed to the actions of ICE. This alleged tragedy is not merely an isolated event but a stark and harrowing illustration of the devastating consequences when enforcement protocols tragically fail to prioritize human safety and well-being.

Such incidents underscore an urgent need for a complete overhaul of ICE’s practices, policies, and accountability mechanisms. The behavior pattern that leads to these outcomes is unacceptable and must be halted immediately and definitively. We must demand comprehensive reforms that ensure humane treatment, uphold ethical standards, and prevent any further loss of life under the guise of immigration enforcement.  Would this have happened if the woman killed was a police officer or law enforcement officer?   We need to elevate the status of every human being, child of God on earth. Maybe we should abolish ICE altogether and adopt a more holistic, human-centric concept for everyone, everything, everywhere.

Sincerely,
