Critics of the current immigration enforcement system point to deaths in custody, shootings during enforcement operations, family separations, and deportations to third countries. Supporters of the Reimagining Safety Act say these harms are what the current system produces, not accidents. The bill would abolish ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of Homeland Security, and replace them with a community-centered Department of Public Safety. It would keep critical functions, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation Security Administration, so disaster response and airport security continue. Tinkering with agencies accused of repeated harm has not fixed it. Supporters call a structural overhaul the honest response. Members of Congress decide whether these agencies keep their power and their budgets, and voters deserve to know where every candidate stands. Co-sponsor and vote yes on the Reimagining Safety Act.
