    AAPIC condemns the January killings of two Minneapolis residents - Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti - who were fatally shot by ICE officers in Minnesota. We stand against the use of racial profiling, violence, and lethal force by Federal agents. We join calls for independent, transparent investigations of these cases.

    AAPIC acknowledges the other lives lost to ICE that have not been as heavily publicized in the news, including Keith Porter Jr. and the more than 30 individuals who have died in ICE custody. All of these deaths are tragic and deserve to be recognized.

    Minnesota is home to a diverse Asian immigrant population, including Hmong, Burmese, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, Laotian, and Vietnamese people. The Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota) are home to the largest urban Hmong population in the United States; Asian Minnesotans make up the largest immigrant population of any racial group in the state. This violence and discrimination against immigrants is not new to Asians in America, nor to communities of color. We don’t have to look back far in this country's history to see examples of weaponized racism by the highest office.

    Our communities and families are living in fear and being targeted and terrorized by our own government.

    To protect the safety and civil rights of all residents, AAPIC urges the County of Sonoma to establish a policy for every department to end all cooperation with ICE. Such a policy is critical to ensure safety, trust, and well-being of immigrant communities throughout Sonoma County.

    Unchecked violence by ICE is increasing fear and anxiety among our vulnerable immigrant communities, American citizens of color, and those who demonstrate for our civil liberties. We stand with our broader community’s demands for policy change and justice; we must stay grounded in collective action and solidarity to create a safer, more just future for all.
