DeKalb leaders push to ban ICE tactical operations after fatal Minneapolis shooting
DeKalb County leaders are calling for the removal of tactical U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations following the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Commissioner Ted Terry told Atlanta News First that he plans to introduce a resolution at the commission meeting Tuesday to formally condemn the shooting of Good by an ICE agent and to demand the immediate withdrawal of tactical operations from DeKalb County neighborhoods.
“What I’m concerned about is that as things move forward, things will get worse, and I’m concerned for the safety of DeKalb County residents,” he said.
The resolution will name Operation Metro Surge as the type of tactical operation he wants gone from DeKalb County. The Department of Homeland Security launched the operation to, by its own account, target and arrest violent undocumented criminals in Minnesota.
“My hope is to re-establish local control over our public safety environment,” Terry told Rough Draft Atlanta. “We cannot allow our neighborhoods to become ‘tactical zones’ where mothers and poets like Renee Nicole Good can be killed in uncoordinated operations. This is about accountability, transparency, and the 10th Amendment right of DeKalb County to manage its own streets.”
Terry said he believes ICE agents need to work with local law enforcement more in order to avoid tragic events, which can also happen in Georgia.
“We’ve had instances in DeKalb County where SWAT-like operations have been carried out that are terrorizing not just the immigrant communities but our own established neighborhoods here in DeKalb County,” he said. “This has gone to a new level, and we need to not escalate further.”
