I wrote a letter to one of my senators, John Curtis, thanking him for calling for an independent investigation into the ICE shootings in Minnesota and urging him to go further.

Senator Curtis,

Thank you for calling for an independent investigation into the tragic Minnesota shooting.

I urge that you go further, that ICE agents and DHS officials be investigated for not just this single shooting but all the potentially unlawful actions and violations of constitutional rights that they may be perpetrating in Minnesota and elsewhere in the nation.

I urge you to vote against any funding for DHS until these matters can be thoroughly and transparently investigated and any agents or officials having been found to have acted unlawfully or unconstitutionally are removed from their positions. The American people must be able to see that lawful, constitutional, and humane policies and practices are put into place and followed by ICE and DHS. If these organizations cannot act constitutionally and humanely they should be dismantled and reformed with new leadership, including up to the impeachment and conviction of the president if he and his administration continue in this unconstitutional manner.

I look to you as my Senator to uphold the Constitution and be a check on unlawful and unconstitutional actions of the federal government and the Trump administration.

Thank you,

Joshua Whiting

I don’t know that there is any hope or reason to send a letter to Sen. Mike Lee, other than to maybe to get myself added to some kind of list of Democrats and other problematic constituents to ignore, if I’m not already there. Please correct me if you know something about this and I am wrong and it is worth contacting him.

I also just cancelled my Home Depot credit card for good measure. Not a big deal if you tell me Home Depot is actually wonderful now and doesn’t support or collaborate with ICE anymore, because I haven’t used the account in a year or two anyway.
