The Green Party Latinx Caucus endorses the January 30 National Shutdown

The National Latinx Caucus of the Green Party United States mourns the deaths of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, both shot and killed by federal immigration agents during enforcement operations in Minneapolis this month. Good’s death was ruled a homicide by the local medical examiner. These killings have triggered widespread protest and demand for accountability.

We also honor the lives of others who have been killed or detained under the authority of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and related federal enforcement actions. These include Keith Porter Jr., a father of two killed by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, and Silverio Villegas González, shot by an ICE agent in a Chicago suburb last year.

These losses reflect a broader pattern of harm inflicted by federal immigration enforcement on our communities. Families and advocates have shared stories of deaths in custody and use of force that demands public accountability.

We endorse the National Shutdown called by General Strike US on Friday, January 30. This coordinated action presents a clear opportunity to challenge enforcement practices that put human lives at risk and demand justice for the families affected.

We urge individuals to sign the National Shutdown pledge, urge their organizations to endorse the action, and participate in the shutdown on Friday. Collective action strengthens community power and advances lasting change.

Stand up for justice and dignity by participating in the national shutdown:
