No Money for ICE Terror
No más fondos para el terror de ICE
Buen Vecino condemns the brutal executions of Keith Porter, Jr., Renee Nicole Good, and Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE agents. On New Year’s Eve, Keith Porter, Jr., a father of two, was murdered during festivities at his own home in Northridge, California by an off-duty ICE agent. On January 8, Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota while exercising her legal right to observe and record ICE activity. On January 24, Alex Pretti, a nurse at the Minneapolis veterans hospital and lawful gun owner, was fatally shot while legally recording ICE and protecting a woman who was attacked by federal agents.
In the first month of 2026 alone, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Luis Beltrán Yáñez-Cruz, Parady La, Víctor Manuel Díaz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez have died while in custody of federal immigration enforcement. They would be here with us still if not for the brutal, dehumanizing, and noxious conditions of their detention; they are victims of ethnic cleansing committed by the US detention and deportation machine.
The nine individuals named above join at least 32 immigrants who were killed in ICE custody in 2025 due to racial persecution, neglect, and cruelty. The victims of these injustices–including Fouad Saeed Abdul Kadir of Eritrea, Marie Ange Blaise of Haiti, Huabing Xie of China, Francisco Gaspar-Andrés of Guatemala, Johnny Noviello of Canada, Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani of Pakistan, Ventura County community member Jaime Alanis García of Mexico, and too many more–will not be forgotten, and we will not give up the fight until the perpetrators are brought to justice.

Buen Vecino condena las brutales ejecuciones de Keith Porter, Jr., Renee Nicole Good y Alex Pretti a manos de agentes del ICE. En la víspera de Año Nuevo, Keith Porter, Jr., padre de dos hijos, fue asesinado durante las celebraciones en su propia casa en Northridge, California, por un agente del ICE fuera de servicio. El 8 de enero, Renee Nicole Good, madre de tres hijos, fue asesinada a tiros en Minneapolis, Minnesota, mientras ejercía su derecho legal a observar y grabar la actividad del ICE. El 24 de enero, Alex Pretti, enfermero del hospital de veteranos de Minneapolis y propietario legal de un arma, fue asesinado mientras grababa legalmente al ICE y protegía a una mujer que estaba siendo atacada por agentes federales.
En el primer mes de 2026, fallecieron Geraldo Lunas Campos, Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Luis Beltrán Yáñez-Cruz, Parady La, Víctor Manuel Díaz y Heber Sánchez Domínguez bajo custodia de las autoridades federales de inmigración. Estarían todavía con nosotros si no por las condiciones brutales, deshumanizantes y perjudiciales de su detención; son víctimas de la limpieza étnica hecho por la maquinaria estadounidense de detención y deportación.
Las nueve víctimas nombradas anteriormente se suman a al menos 32 inmigrantes que murieron bajo custodia del ICE en 2025 debido a persecución racial, negligencia y crueldad. Las víctimas de estas injusticias–entre ellas Fouad Saeed Abdul Kadir de Eritrea, Marie Ange Blaise de Haití, Huabing Xie de China, Francisco Gaspar-Andrés de Guatemala, Johnny Noviello de Canadá, Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani de Pakistán y Jaime Alanis García un residente del condado de Ventura y originario de México, y demasiados personas más–no serán olvidadas, y seguiremos en la lucha hasta que los responsables comparezcan ante la justicia.
