The statement from my Congressional Rep in West MI.

"No traffic stop or immigration enforcement action should ever end with a fatality, no matter who's involved. That's not public safety. Mario David Coronado Juárez's children will now grow up without a father. like countless other families devastated bv the actions of ICE and the Trump administration. This has to stop. I am joining Governor Whitmer and others in calling for the Michigan State Police to conduct an immediate and transparent investigation into this incident to find justice and ensure nothing like this ever happens again. I will continue to press for state legislation to protect personal freedoms from a runaway federal agency of cosplay cops. Most importantly, we need to dismantle and replace ICE with a new agency within the Department of Justice that operates with robust civilian oversight, institutional integrity, and full respect for constitutional law. We can keep our communities and borders safe, while also respecting basic human decency and protecting the rights of those simply living their lives and seeking the American Dream. In the meantime, ICE needs to get the Hell out of our community. I will continue to closely monitor this situation and remain in close contact with state and local law enforcement to ensure our community gets the answers we deserve and no other community and family has to face a similar tragedy again. Fuck ICE. Love Thy Neighbor. Stay safe." HICHIG STATE REPRESENTATIVE STEPHEN WOODEN
